Legends in Mobil Map Package viewed from Field Maps app

Hi All,

I am loading a Mobil Map Package to the Field Maps app on an Android device.

Creating the Mobile Map Package is simple and convenient in ArcGIS Pro.  And the mmpk file created is easily downloaded to a device as described in ESRI's Field Maps documentation as per the link below.  No problems there.
Download maps—ArcGIS Field Maps | Documentation

The map loaded to the device is easily viewable when the Field Maps app is open on the device.

However, there was one raster in the mmpk file with symbology set.  Correction, the symbology was set correctly in ArcGIS Pro.

Which leads up to my question...

Is symbology from ArcGIS Pro honored in a mmpk file?  And thus, honored by the Field Maps app?

Screen capture from ArcGIS Pro.

The same screen in the Field Maps app on my device.  The map is loaded to my device from an mmpk file.

Hi Jerome,

This seems to be related to BUG-000175197. Follow this workaround to retain raster symbology in ArcGIS Field Maps:

  1. Click the Raster layer with desired symbology and open the Symbology pane
  2. Click on the three horizontal bars (hamburger menu) in the top right corner of the Symbology pane
  3. Click "Export as Raster Function Template"
  4. Fill out the information for the template, then click OK
  5. Click the Imagery tab, then "Raster Functions"
  6. Navigate to the Custom tab in the Raster Functions pane, then click the raster function you just created
  7. Select your input raster (the same raster) in the drop-down, then click "Create new layer"
  8. Remove or turn off the original raster layer, then share the Mobile Map Package with the new raster layer
  9. Download and open the Mobile Map Package on ArcGIS Field Maps, and the raster should now retain its symbology

I've tested this workflow and it seems to work without issue on my end. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Shelby

Your reply is a lot of help and certainly moving in the correct direction.  But a long way from a total solution.

Below is my result after following the directions supplied.  There are maybe some settings in the "Export as Raster Function Template" that I do not fully understand yet.  And thus, maybe the white and black edges can be eliminated.

More importantly... There is still no Legend

Please see if you can find a little more information regarding preserving the Legend in a mmpk file.
