ArcGISFeatuerLayer fails to initialize using a FeatureSet

JasonKnisley — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:57:12 GMT

I'm trying to instantiate an ArcGISFeatureLayer using the constructor:
public ArcGISFeatureLayer (String layerDefinition, FeatureSet featureCollection, ArcGISFeatureLayer.Options layerOption)

My layer definition is a string resource (in JSON format) and the feature set is the result of a query that contains a few graphics. The map view, layer definition, and feature set all have the same spatial reference (102100), however I keep getting an error that my feature set needs to be projected. The full error is:

E/ArcGIS(2057): Failed to initialize the ArcGISFeatureLayer.
E/ArcGIS(2057): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Feature collection need to be projected.
E/ArcGIS(2057):  at com.esri.android.map.ags.ArcGISFeatureLayer.initLayer(Unknown Source)

E/ArcGIS(2057):  at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)

Oddly enough, it works if I use an empty FeatureSet and then add graphics from my existing FeatureSet.

In summary, this throws an error:

offlineLayer = new ArcGISFeatureLayer(layerDef, featureSet, new Options());

While this works:

offlineLayer = new ArcGISFeatureLayer(layerDef, new FeatureSet(), new Options());
offlineLayer.addGraphics(featureSet.getGraphics());

Is this a bug? It's easy enough to work around, I just don't understand why the first line throws an error.

Here is a sample of the query results in JSON format:

Can someone from ESRI comment on whether this is a bug or if I simply misunderstand what is required in the constructor of the ArcGISFeatureLayer?
Thanks!

Any word on if this is a bug? I'd be happy to provide more information if no one on the SDK team can replicate the problem.

This is still a problem. Oddly enough, while the error makes it sound like a projection issue, the problem goes away simply by changing the renderer. If I change the definition from a picture symbol to the following, the layer initializes with no errors.

 "drawingInfo": {
  "renderer": {
   "type": "simple",
   "symbol": {
    "type": "esriSMS",
    "style": "esriSMSCircle",
    "color": [
     0,
     52,
     163,
     255
    ],
    "size": 8,
    "angle": 0,
    "xoffset": 0,
    "yoffset": 0,
    "outline": {
     "color": [
      0,
      0,
      0,
      255
     ],
     "width": 1
    }
   },
   "label": "",
   "description": ""
  },
  "transparency": 0,
  "labelingInfo": null
 },

There is definitely something odd going on here, and the error message is clearly misleading. Can someone from ESRI comment? Again, I'll be happy to provide the full JSON files for you to verify if that would help.
