Its possible to show .geodatabase (Runtime Conent) without a basemap on iOS

Andréde_Mattos_Ferraz — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 17:16:53 GMT

I generated a RuntimeContent in ArcMap but without a basemap, now when I try to show this content in iOS (esri iOS runtime SDK) my map stands gray. When I put some basemap, the map appears correctly... Has some rules about every map contain a basemap?

Thx in advance.

Can you elaborate on how you are adding the content onto your app and what is the end goal?

Exactly like Create an offline map—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS | ArcGIS for Developers‌ but without a basemap.

I understand you want to display runtime content created from ArcMap. You've already created that which is good.

Can you clarify which of the following describes your need?

You don't want any base map ( or )
You don't want an offline base map but still want an online base map

If you don't add any base map to the map, you would just see the gray background. That is expected.

Please elaborate on your requirements, that would help us point you the right way.

I don't want any base map! Just runtime content, but the map doesn't appear without a basemap (all gray).

Ok, You're able to see the features from your runtime content only if you add a base map. Otherwise, you see nothing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If this is the case, can you share the following information?

The .geodatabase file that was generated from runtime content. You can send it over as a 'Private Message' if you don't wish to share it in the post.
ArcMap version
Any errors you got while adding the data without basemap

To answer your question, yes you should be able to show a .geodatabase file created from Runtime Content without a basemap.

Can you also share the code you used to display the content?

        NSError *error;

        NSString *pathGDBString = [self.map getGeodatabasePath];

        //NSString *pathGDBString = @"/Users/isg/Downloads/MapaVixWebMercLoc/data/arcsde_data.geodatabase";

        AGSGDBGeodatabase *gdb = [[AGSGDBGeodatabase alloc] initWithPath:pathGDBString error:&error];



        //inverto os layers para inserir na ordem correta

        NSArray *arrLayers = [[gdb.featureTables reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];



        for (AGSFeatureTable* fTable in arrLayers) {

            if ([fTable hasGeometry]) {

                [self.mapView addMapLayer:[[AGSFeatureTableLayer alloc]initWithFeatureTable:fTable]];

            }

        }

Your code looks ok to me.

Can you share the following information?

The .geodatabase file that was generated from runtime content. You can send it over as a 'Private Message' if you don't wish to share it in the post.
ArcMap version
What is the value of 'error' value here?

AGSGDBGeodatabase *gdb = [[AGSGDBGeodatabase alloc] initWithPath:pathGDBStringerror:&error];

Is your data versioned?

Hello André,

I would suggest you to check the value of NSString *pathGDBString when you set the breakpoint on here. Two things to make sure, one the path is correct and the gdb file has geometry for the layers.

Here I attached my snippet code to load the gdb file. Hope this can help.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
NSError *error;
    NSString *gdbPathREST = [self gdbPathREST]; 
    NSString *gdbName = @"gdbName.geodatabase";
    NSString *gdbFileFullPath = [gdbPathREST stringByAppendingPathComponent:gdbName];
    
    AGSGDBGeodatabase *gdb = [[AGSGDBGeodatabase alloc] initWithPath:gdbFileFullPath error:&error];
    for (AGSFeatureTable* fTable in gdb.featureTables) {
        if ([fTable hasGeometry]) {
            AGSFeatureTableLayer *fTableLayer = [[AGSFeatureTableLayer alloc]initWithFeatureTable:fTable];
            [self.mapView addMapLayer:fTableLayer];
}

-(NSString*)gdbPathREST {
    
    NSString *documentsDirectory;
    
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    
    if ([paths count] > 0) {
        documentsDirectory = paths[0];
    }
    
    NSLog(@"Geodatabase directory: %@", documentsDirectory);
    return documentsDirectory;
}

Suganya,

The .geodatabase file that was generated from runtime content. You can send it over as a 'Private Message' if you don't wish to share it in the post.
- I will send to you....
ArcMap version
- 10.2
What is the value of 'error' value here?
- No error... NIL

AGSGDBGeodatabase *gdb = [[AGSGDBGeodatabase alloc] initWithPath:pathGDBStringerror:&error];

Is your data versioned?
- Yes, arcsde 10.1

Andréde_Mattos_Ferraz — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:37:01 GMT

The path is correct, when a put an basemap all layers appear...

To be clear, I dont have an error, but the map doesnt appear...

Hello André,

I wonder what's your gdb file spatial reference it is when you generate the Runtime content from ArcMap.

Here is the paragraph I found from Create an offline map—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS

"If your features are not displaying, make sure you have panned or zoomed to the appropriate extent, and that the spatial reference of the geodatabase matches the spatial reference of the map. You can set the spatial reference of a local geodatabase at generation time, as described in Generate a geodatabase from a feature service."

Would you try use my snippet that I sent to you in my last reply to test whether the offline map can load?

SuganyaBaskaran1 — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 23:05:24 GMT

Andre,

Did you get a chance to send the geodatabase? I've not received it yet, and wanted to make sure it's not a glitch with geonet.

Also as Yue Wu suggests, make sure the spatial reference of base map and geodatabase are same.

Sorry for the delay, I had some trouble with my esri account. The file is attached in this post.

Thx in advance

Hello André,

I just tested your runtime content ("arcsde_data.geodatabase") in my sample read offline gdb code and it works as expected. Here I attach you the screenshot. Please verify the code again and make sure the path is valid and the AGSFeatureTableLayer add to the mapView. Suganya Baskaran‌

Hope this can help.
