Displaying a map from my Mobile Server

NicoTek — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:43:17 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the ArcGIS Android SDK.

I'm trying to display one of the maps I have in a ArcGIS Mobile Server.

When I use the esri arcGIS app from the Android Playstore I can connect to my server and see the map easily, but I would like to create my own app so that people don't have to enter my server info.

Any pointers or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Nico

Are you wanting to create a native Android Application? If so, I'd recommend checking out the videos from the Developers conference. Here is a link to all the Android videos: http://video.esri.com/search/android

I was able to display the map layers that were hosted in the mobile server by creating a DynamicMapServiceLayer.

Here is a small code snippet where I create two layers. the first one is the esri base map and the second one is my layer from the mobile server where I make visible the layers 0,1,2

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);   map = new MapView(this);      ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer basemap = new ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");   map.addLayer(basemap);   ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer layer = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("my_mobile_server_url/MapServer",new int[] {0,1,2});   map.addLayer(layer);
