Can't create Feature which contains attributes of type GUID

AndriusB — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:13:30 GMT

We're using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android 100.1.0

I'm trying to add a new Feature to ServiceFeatureTable. Everything works fine as long as String types used. However if I try to add values for attributes of type GUID, then either serviceFeatureTable.addFeatureAsync(feature) crashes or serviceFeatureTable.applyEditsAsync() returns 0 edits.

From documentation FieldType GUID stores String values. But none of the provided formats are accepted:

"{A248C651-5712-4CF4-8888-FA7522FB825D}"

"A248C651-5712-4CF4-8888-FA7522FB825D"

"A248C65157124CF48888FA7522FB825D"

If you do not fill that field in and try to add it to the table, I imagine a GUID should automagically be created for you (untested). Have you tried this?

thank you for the reply,

your suggestion would work for GlobalID (sde managed GUID field), but not any ordinary GUID type field. In our case we need the latter.
