Hello, How can I Query a feature in kotlin ? If there is a complete or a good guide that might help.

did you see the esri documentation?

The available documentation lacks sufficient explanatory content and examples on how to query the feature effectively, which has made it hard to understand and implement the desired functionality.

Hi @majdkassab, can you tell us a little more about what you're trying to do?

Initially I'd suggest reading through our guide on this topic, but it sounds like you've found that to be lacking the explanation you were hoping to see. With a little more detail, I'm sure we can help.

Hello @MikeWilburn ,I'm trying to just query a feature where I get its result
back but have no way/idea on how to get the result back once it finishes. I found this link
https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA%E8%80%85%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A5%E3%83%8B%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3-documents/kotlin-%E3%81%A7%E5%9C%B0%E5%9B%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%82%92%E4%BD%9C%E6%88%90%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0%E3%83%80%E3%82%92%E5%AD%A6%E7%BF%92%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/ta-p/913854
but as shown in the screenshot the
Unresolved reference: queryFeaturesAsync

this is the relevant code

var searchForPolygon: (String) -> Unit = { searchString ->

    var query = QueryParameters()
    query.whereClause = createstr(searchString)
    Log.d(TAG, query.whereClause.toString())

    // Perform the query on the hosted polygon data
    val future = serviceFeatureTable!!.queryFeaturesAsync(query)

    // Use the SAM conversion to handle the query result
    future.addDoneListener {
        try {
            // Get the entire result of the query
            val result = future.get()

            // Check the result
            if (result.iterator().hasNext()) {
                // Get the first result and zoom to the corresponding feature
                val feature = result.iterator().next()
                val envelope = feature.geometry.extent



            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "No polygon found for this search: " + searchString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "Failed to search for features: " + searchString + ". Error=" + e.message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            Log.e(TAG, "Feature search failed for: " + searchString + ". Error=" + e.message)
        }
    }
}
fun createstr (searchString: String) : String {
    var reString: String? = null
    val ku = searchString.split("区".toRegex()).dropLastWhile({ it.isEmpty() }).toTypedArray()
    if (ku.size > 1) {

        reString = "upper(CSS_NAME) LIKE '" + ku[0] + "区' and (MOJI) LIKE '%" + ku[1] + "%'"
    } else {
        reString = "upper(MOJI) LIKE '%" + ku[0] + "%'"
    }
    Log.d(TAG, "SQL String="+ reString)
    return reString
}

the documentation is quite lacking as there is no code on how use the functions.

Thank you

The code you've shared appears to be using the 100.x Java-based Android SDK. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with our 200.x Kotlin SDK.

In particular, the unresolved reference you're encountering is due to the fact that there is no such function queryFeaturesAsync. You'll need to instead use queryFeatures.

SorenRoth — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 23:56:55 GMT

As @MikeWilburn suggested, the 200.x Kotlin SDK provides concurrency through coroutines . This sample is quite similar to your use case, but instead of identifying layers, you would query features. An adaptation of your code to use coroutines would look like below (please note the suspend keyword in the function signature)

var searchForPolygon: suspend (String) -> Unit = { searchString ->
         var query = QueryParameters()
        query.whereClause = createSearchStr()
         // Perform the query on the hosted polygon data
        serviceFeatureTable!!.queryFeatures(query)
            .onSuccess {
                if (it.iterator().hasNext()) {
                    // Get the first result and zoom to the corresponding feature
                    val feature = it.iterator().next()
                    val envelope = feature.geometry?.extent
                } else {
                    withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                        Toast.makeText(
                            this@MainActivity,
                            "No polygon found for this search: " + searchString,
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
                        ).show()
                    }
                }
            }
            .onFailure {
                Log.e(TAG, "Feature search failed for: " + searchString + ". Error=" + e.message)
                withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                    Toast.makeText(
                        this@MainActivity,
                        "Failed to search for features: " + searchString + ". Error=" + e.message,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
                    ).show()
                }
            }

Based on the link its written in kotlin. I'm working in kotlin.
Can you please expand on the100.x java vs 200.x kotlin?
thank you

Thank you for the reply. Yes I noticed the suspend. does that mean the code wont work without it ? since it uses the 200.x kotlin.

Re: Query a feature

MikeWilburn — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 17:59:30 GMT

Apologies for the confusion. We have two separate APIs for writing native Android apps -- an older 100.x Runtime SDK for Android and our newer 200.x Maps SDK for Kotlin.

See this page in our guide about the differences between the two and how to migrate:
https://developers.arcgis.com/kotlin/reference/migrate-from-100-x-to-200-x/

While the code you shared is written in Kotlin, it appears to leverage our Java-based Runtime SDK for Android. @SorenRoth's post below handles many of the considerations stated within the migration topic to help your code work with the Maps SDK for Kotlin.

Otherwise, if you have a question on using the Runtime/Android SDK, consider posting it on this board:

I see thank you. After trying with his solution it didn't work as of right now, Ill give it another shot and what possible changes are needed.
