out fields logic

PaulWinward — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 16:37:08 GMT

Does the API support any sort of manipulation on the returned fields of a query? According to QueryParameters (ArcGIS_Runtime_Java 10.2.4 API) , the relevant methods I see are setOutFields and setOutStatistics, but neither of them provide support for concatenating fields together or using something like case statements that I could with a select clause in an SQL statement.

Thanks for the help.

My co-worker attended an ESRI-sponsored conference and learned that this was not possible. They suggest making views in arcGis that has the fields in the format you need.

How about working with returned fields on the client side?

Thanks for the reply. That was actually the direction I had decided to go. It is harder to do this though because in our application we let users specify dynamically how they want their data to be manipulated via SQL-like commands. Looking into ANTLR.
