Bug in ArcGISFeatureLayer.getField(String fieldName)?

JasonKnisley — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:41:06 GMT

I was writing a program where I needed to check properties of various fields, and so I decided to use the ArcGISFeatureLayer.getField(String fieldName) but kept experiencing errors. The return value was always null. So as a quick test, I did this...

final ArcGISFeatureLayer testLayer = new ArcGISFeatureLayer(
    "http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Petroleum/KSFields/FeatureServer/0",
    MODE.SNAPSHOT);
        
testLayer.setOnStatusChangedListener(new OnStatusChangedListener() {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public void onStatusChanged(Object arg0, STATUS arg1) {
        if (arg1 == STATUS.INITIALIZED) {
            Field[] fields = testLayer.getFields();
            Log.d(TAG, featureLayer.getName() + ": found " + fields.length + " fields");
            boolean found = false;
            for (Field field : fields) {
                if (testLayer.getField(field.getName()) != null) {
                    Log.d(TAG, featureLayer.getName() + ": found field object for " + field.getName());
                    found = true;
                }
            }
            if (!found) {
                Log.d(TAG, featureLayer.getName() + ": no field objects found by name");
            }
        }
    }
});

Which results in

!! Current Kansas Field Production: found 23 fields
!! Current Kansas Field Production: no field object found by name

Why does getField(fieldName) always return null?

I tested the code and seems it works on ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android 10.2.5. I noticed it has been a while so I'm not sure if you still have the issue. Besides, it seems that your layer variable name is testLayer but when you log it, the layer variable name is featureLayer.

Please test the following code and let me know if it works:

final ArcGISFeatureLayer testLayer = new ArcGISFeatureLayer("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Petroleum/KSFields/FeatureServer/0", ArcGISFeatureLayer.MODE.SNAPSHOT);

testLayer.setOnStatusChangedListener(new OnStatusChangedListener() {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public void onStatusChanged(Object arg0, STATUS arg1) {

if (arg1 == STATUS.INITIALIZED) {

Field[] fields = testLayer.getFields();

Log.d(TAG, testLayer.getName() + ": found " + fields.length + " fields");

boolean found = false;

for (Field field : fields) {

if (testLayer.getField(field.getName()) != null) {

Log.d(TAG, testLayer.getName() + ": found field object for " + field.getName());

found = true;

}

if (!found) {

Log.d(TAG, testLayer.getName() + ": no field objects found by name");

}

});

I got the following outputs:
