Hi Shelly,
Thank you, I have been able to get it working using drawables that you can insert directly into your app through Android Studio.
After having a more careful look using the link below I was able to identify two offline methods. (Drawables, External File Storage)
Link: Picture Marker Symbols—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android | ArcGIS for Developers
After inserting the symbol in Android Studio and adding the below code to a button under the mapview I have been able to get it working to a predefined location...
public void symbol3(View v) {
mGraphicsOverlay = new GraphicsOverlay();
mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().add(mGraphicsOverlay);
//[DocRef: Name=Picture Marker Symbol Drawable-android, Category=Fundamentals, Topic=Symbols and Renderers]
//Create a picture marker symbol from an app resource
BitmapDrawable pinStarBlueDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.pin_star_blue);
final PictureMarkerSymbol pinStarBlueSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol(pinStarBlueDrawable);
//Optionally set the size, if not set the image will be auto sized based on its size in pixels,
//its appearance would then differ across devices with different resolutions.
pinStarBlueSymbol.setHeight(40);
pinStarBlueSymbol.setWidth(40);
//Optionally set the offset, to align the base of the symbol aligns with the point geometry
pinStarBlueSymbol.setOffsetY(
11); //The image used for the symbol has a transparent buffer around it, so the offset is not simply height/2
pinStarBlueSymbol.loadAsync();
//[DocRef: END]
Point pinStarBluePoint = new Point(000.000000, -00.000000, SpatialReferences.getWgs84());
Graphic pinStarBlueGraphic = new Graphic(pinStarBluePoint, pinStarBlueSymbol);
mGraphicsOverlay.getGraphics().add(pinStarBlueGraphic);
}
I am now currently working on using this code but adding the ability to do onclick like below....
public void symbol1(View v) {
// Symbol 1 -
Point initialPoint = new Point(0,0, SpatialReferences.getWgs84());
coordinateLocation = new Graphic(initialPoint,
new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.Style.TRIANGLE, Color.YELLOW, 20f));
mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().add(new GraphicsOverlay());
mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().get(0).getGraphics().add(coordinateLocation);
toCoordinateNotationFromPoint(initialPoint);
mMapView.setOnTouchListener(new Symbol1MapTouchListener(this, mMapView));
Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this,
"You Just Pressed Symbol 1!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
If you have any suggestions on how to achieve this it would be most appreciated. My latest attempt is below.
public void symbol3(View v) {
Point initialPoint = new Point(0,0, SpatialReferences.getWgs84());
BitmapDrawable pinStarBlueDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.pin_star_blue);
final PictureMarkerSymbol pinStarBlueSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol(pinStarBlueDrawable);
coordinateLocation = new Graphic(initialPoint, new Graphic(pinStarBluePoint, pinStarBlueSymbol));
mGraphicsOverlay = new GraphicsOverlay();
//mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().add(mGraphicsOverlay);
pinStarBlueSymbol.setHeight(40);
pinStarBlueSymbol.setWidth(40);
//Optionally set the offset, to align the base of the symbol aligns with the point geometry
pinStarBlueSymbol.setOffsetY(
11); //The image used for the symbol has a transparent buffer around it, so the offset is not simply height/2
pinStarBlueSymbol.loadAsync();
mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().add(new GraphicsOverlay());
mMapView.getGraphicsOverlays().get(0).getGraphics().add(coordinateLocation);
toCoordinateNotationFromPoint(initialPoint);
mMapView.setOnTouchListener(new ShowCoordinatesMapTouchListener(this, mMapView));
Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this,
"You Just Pressed Symbol 3!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//[DocRef: Name=Picture Marker Symbol Drawable-android, Category=Fundamentals, Topic=Symbols and Renderers]
//Create a picture marker symbol from an app resource
//Optionally set the size, if not set the image will be auto sized based on its size in pixels,
//its appearance would then differ across devices with different resolutions.
//[DocRef: END]
//Point pinStarBluePoint = new Point(000.000000, -00.000000, SpatialReferences.getWgs84());
// Graphic pinStarBlueGraphic = new Graphic(pinStarBluePoint, pinStarBlueSymbol);
//mGraphicsOverlay.getGraphics().add(pinStarBlueGraphic);
}
