Hello,
I'm trying to use the GeometryEngine.getNearestCoordinate() method but one of its arguments is a Geometry which I suppose it'd be the multi-point or polyline shape file which contains a trajectory I want to evaluate.
So that I'm trying to load this shapefile as a geometry using GeometryEngine.geometryFromEsriShape(). First I load the shape file as follows:
byte[] esriShapeBuffer = null; try { esriShapeBuffer = Files.readAllBytes(shapeFile.toPath()); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } Geometry g = GeometryEngine.geometryFromEsriShape(esriShapeBuffer, Geometry.Type.UNKNOWN); Point p = GeometryEngine.getNearestCoordinate(g, mapPoint, false).getCoordinate();
But in line 8 Geometry g results to be null, even though I tried all Geometry Types (although I know my shape file is multi point).
When I reviewed the documentation of geometryFromEsriShape it says: Note: this is not from a shape-file on disk.
So, please, how can I generate a geometry from a shapefile?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Edgar,
In ArcGIS Runtime, you can dynamically add geometries from a shapefile to you map by following the code example here:

I hope this helps!
