ArcGIS JavaScript MediaLayer API equivalent for ArcGIS Runtime

Kia_BeeNg — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 02:26:00 GMT

ArcGIS Javascript has this MediaLayer API (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-MediaLayer.html) to add image and video elements to the map at a specified geographic location.

I believe ArcGIS Runtime currently does not have equivalent feature.

Will this feature be add to ArcGIS Runtime API as it is a good feature?

Hello @Kia_BeeNg,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We currently do not have an exact equivalent of media layer, but we have an API where you can add images to your application. It is called ImageOverlay. Please see https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/cpp/api-reference/esri-arcgisruntime-imageoverlay.html for more info on it.

It is important to note, that it is currently only supported in 3D view. 2D view support is planned for a future release.

If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out.

Regards,

-Koushik

Thank you for submitting this idea.
This feature is in our backlog and something we would like to provide. I don't have any concrete timelines to share at the moment, but we'll try our best to get to it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I wanted to point you at SceneView's ImageOverlays in the SDK which allow you to overlay images in 3D. We do plan to support the same thing in 2D in an upcoming release which may provide a good alternative until we have a media layer equivalent.
