Geodatabase.getPath() in Quartz?

Anonymous User — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 20:29:48 GMT

I am noticing that there is no longer the option in Quartz to get the path of a Geodatatabase via Geodatabase.getPath(). This is some very useful functionality to keep track of where the active GDB in a mapview is located on the file system. How would I be able to pull this information in Quartz?

Few questions:

How are you instantiating the Geodatabase object?

Are you using more than one Geodatabase at a time?

Hi Alex, Yes we have situations when pointed at a webmap for download where we have an array list of geodatabases. Each GDB used by the app has a subdirectory that incorporates a guid value in the naming convention of the sub directory. Thus the need to pull that information from the GDB. Was hoping to avoid the extra hassle of having to store this information in a separate file.

syncGDBFromGDBArray is an integer of course.

public static final ArrayList<Geodatabase> localGDBs = new ArrayList<>();

String localGdbFilePath = localGDBs.get(syncGDBFromGDBArray).getPath();

OK I think this might work, although I am not at a point where I can build this monstrous Android Studio Project. Alex can you verify?

When I use toString() in 10.2.9 it does give me the path as part of the returned string...

String localGdbFilePath = localGDBs.get(syncGDBFromGDBArray).toString();

in 10.2.9 this returns...

Geodatabase [gdbPath=/storage/9016-4EF8/Android/data/gov.s1.s1mobile/Edit_Data/ParkFeatures_c50477c5-6bf8-4763-a809-cbdf56580edf/ParkFeatures.geodatabase]

Does this return the same value in Quartz?

When I get a chance soon, I can try to test.

Thanks,

No, it returns :

Hmm any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?

Can you go a little more into your use case?
