AGSPopupsContanerViewController Attachment Editor

VIKRANTKRISHNA — Mon, 02 May 2016 21:14:00 GMT

Is there a way to bypass the attribute editing workflow and directly go to Attachment Editing section of AGSPopupsContainerViewController. Basically when user taps the feature on the map, it directly open up popup in attachment editing mode and close from there. Is there a easy implementation with existing AGSPopupsContainerViewController, or the only way possible to write custom View Controller for this?

Hmmm, that's an interesting use case. I'm not certain that this will work - but mabye you can modify the popupinfo you use to not contain any fieldsInfos. That way when you display it, it will not list any fields. Furthermore, after displaying the viewcontroller, you can call startEditingCurrentPopup() on it as soon as the VC is displayed away to put it into editing mode - that way users will only able to edit attachments.

Thanks for the reply divesh. I thought about this workaround as well, but our users didn't find this approach the best. Its going to be a 4 step process on going to attachments view and then coming back to close the popup. Further with no fields in the field editor tableview, it might become confusion as well. In my app some layers require attribute editing, but for some layers, inspectors just want to take picture attachments (because attribute editing for these layers is handled with different custom view controller).

I finally ended up creating custom ViewController for attachment editing as well.

I m new to iOS and trying to develop an application and have the same issue as yours and I couldn't achieve to create a custom view controller. If possible can you share your code on GitHub or send as zip. That would be a really life saver for me.

You can reduce number of steps in Quartz as attributes and attachments are presented in the same vc. So by following a similar approach Divesh suggests, you may have the following steps

1. Click Edit

2. Popup VC opens in editing mode with just attachments (assuming visibility of fields in popupDefinition.fields is set to false).

3. Hit Done to close popup.

In my app some layers require attribute editing, but for some layers, inspectors just want to take picture attachments (because attribute editing for these layers is handled with different custom view controller).

It seems like you already have a different workflow for certain layers - you may use that check to toggle the visibility of the fields.

Hi Suganya Baskaran, Can you please share your code how you have achieved it,

Couldn't find any sample related to it. I m using offline editing sample.

Regards.

I was using Edit Features (Connected) sample. Note that this is Quartz-beta branch and requires Quartz-Beta2 version of the SDK.

for field in popup.popupDefinition.popupFields {

field.visible = false

}

You may try the same with Offline Editing sample 10.2.5 using popupInfo.fieldInfos, but the behavior would be slightly different.
