Hi all,

I developed a simple GIS module through using the ArcGIS SDK on Java with these features :

- Map : Map options, Map coordinates

- Toolkit : Navigator, Overviewmap, Drawing overlay

- Graphics layers : Select graphics, Draw graphics

- Geometry : Line length

- Routing and navigation : GPS layer, Advanced GPS info

Everything is working well in online mode. But at production stage there will be no internet connection at client side.

So, how can i refer to a SATELLITE or NATIONAL_GEOGRAPHIC or STREETS etc. version of a map on local machine while serving the features listed above also?

For example this code zoom to Turkey at Level-6 through online server's of Esri. 

MapOptions mapOptions = new MapOptions(MapType.STREETS, 39.0000, 32.0000, 5); // Turkey wt. zoom level 6

I guess two solutions but i couldn't find the reference mechanism on Java side.

Option-1 : Prepare a custom map on ArcGIS Desktop software and export the map and tiles info to a folder. Then refer to this folder.

Option-2 : Download a pre-built map from ArcGIS web site (For example Turkey NATIONAL_GEOGRAPHIC map) with its tiles. Then install a ArcGIS server on client side and load the map & tiles to map server. At last give reference to 127.0.0.1/localhost to access it.

Does anybody have opinion about this?

Best regards,

Eray

Hi Eray,

There are two options:

1) If you want to use small area and create tpk from Esri Basemap on - demand. Check hehe: Creating tpk file

2) If you want t use your own GIS resources you must author a map (mxd) in ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) save it and then click menu File >Share as > Tile Package.

Remember: First layer added to map, set it's spatial reference. Be sure to match tpk WKID with you business data WKID.

Use tile package as described here: Local tiled layer | ArcGIS for Developers

Hope this helps.

I would post this under the Java SDK forums here:

Hi nicinski adam​,

Through the Rest service I could render the *.tpk in offline mode as you decribed. But as you said its zoom level must be little because only 100K items are allowed from the Rest WS source.

So, i installed the ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 and when i tried to share as a package as you see from the attachment below there is no option about producing the tpk. The extension is mpk. And i tried to use *.mpk file also tried to change the mpk extension to tpk and use it but no chance to render the saved map at offline mode.

So, what was the ArcGIS Desktop version you used while producing *.tpk file?

Hi Eray,

First of all, you must check  'Enable ArcGIS Rutime tools' in ArcMap sharing options. Please check the screenshot below. Then author a map and click File >share as > Tile package.
