How to see attributes fields associated with a layer from my published map service?

JohnAllen — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:47:42 GMT

I'm new to this...bear with me.

I'm trying to view the attributes associated with my published map service layer.
There is only one layer within my published map service.

I first call on ESRI's ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer.
Then I call on my ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.
See picture.

package com.dhec.MPOS;  import com.esri.android.map.MapView; import com.esri.android.map.ags.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer; import com.esri.android.map.ags.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer;  import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle;  public class PopUp extends Activity {   MapView map = null;     /** Called when the activity is first created. */          public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);          setContentView(R.layout.popup);    // Retrieve the map and initial extent from XML layout   map = (MapView) findViewById (R.id.popup);           //Layer 0 - Called first   map.addLayer(new ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services                           World_Street_Map      /MapServer"));   //Layer 1 - Called second   map.addLayer(new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://TEST/ArcGIS/rest/services/Mobile/MPOS/MapServer"));             } }

The code that should come next is what's confusing me.
I know I need some sort of onSingleTapListener or something to initiate the process, then I want my fields associated with the layer to appear.

Which do I use? (I just want a default window to appear.)

1. IdentifyTask?
2. Callout?
3. PopupContainer?
ect...

Can someone post some basic code or point me in the right direction.
I feel like this is simple.

Thanks.

IdentifyTask, Callout, or Popup will do what you want. For a "Default Window" I'd suggest looking into the PopUp.

Check out:
Popup:

Follow up.....

It was easier than I thought. Here is what I did.

I chose to use the: Pop-up function

I created a web-map service (Map Server) of my GIS layer using ArcMap/ArcGIS Server.

Then I went to arcgisonline.com and created a new webmap and added my map service layer.

Added Link: Your'>http://Your server/ArcGIS/rest/services/Mobile/MPOS/MapServer/0

Saved my map and then made it available to the public. (If you don't make it available to the public it won't show up in your app.)

I copied my webmap link from the top of my web browser and pasted in the sample code (PopupInWebMapForViewing).

Webmap Link: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ec84873333cf4d7f8e12lnc34fd677
(Not the actual link)

I didn't change anything in ESRI's (PopupInWebMapForViewing) sample code, except for the Webmap Link to my web map I created.

// Load a webmap.
map = new MapView(this, "http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ec84873333cf4d7f8e12lnc34fd677", "", "");
setContentView(map);

Hope this helps.
