I am attempting to come up the ArcGIS Android learning curve by developing a few simple applications which do only one particular task..In this case I am trying to have a map which will open at the users location.  I looked at the Nearby sample, which works as is on my Nexus 7. I created another application using portions of the Nearby code but when the map opens, all I see is a grid.  Here is the code I am using. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);   setContentView(R.layout.main);     // Retrieve the map and initial extent from XML layout   mMapView = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.map);   /* create a @ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer */   tileLayer = new ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer(     "http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");   // Add tiled layer to MapView   mMapView.addLayer(tileLayer);     //now i will try to add code to zoom to current location   mMapView.setOnStatusChangedListener(new OnStatusChangedListener(){    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;    public void onStatusChanged(Object source, STATUS status){     if(source == mMapView && status==STATUS.INITIALIZED){      LocationService ls = mMapView.getLocationService();      ls.setAutoPan(false);      ls.setLocationListener(new LocationListener(){       boolean locationChanged = false;       public void onLocationChanged(Location loc){        if(!locationChanged){         locationChanged = true;         double locx = loc.getLatitude();         double locy = loc.getLongitude();         Point wgspoint = new Point(locx, locy);         Point mapPoint = (Point) GeometryEngine.project(wgspoint, SpatialReference.create(4326), mMapView.getSpatialReference());         Unit mapUnit = mMapView.getSpatialReference().getUnit();         double zoomWidth = Unit.convertUnits(SEARCH_RADIUS, Unit.create(LinearUnit.Code.MILE_US), mapUnit);         Envelope zoomExtent = new Envelope(mapPoint, zoomWidth, zoomWidth);         mMapView.setExtent(zoomExtent);        }       }       public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0){              }       public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0){              }       public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2){              }      });      ls.start();     }    }   });     }   @Override protected void onPause() {   super.onPause();   mMapView.pause(); } @Override protected void onResume() {   super.onResume();   mMapView.unpause(); } } the main.xml file has:     <com.esri.android.map.MapView     android:id="@+id/map"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent">    </com.esri.android.map.MapView> What am I missing?  Thanks. ...

I am working on a field data collection project where photographs are stored in various folders.  I want to be able to open a browse for folders dialog box so that I can select the folder (I just need to record the folder name into an attribute field). Is there a way to do this? Thanks. Jim Meuse ... View more

I have a bit of experience with ArcPad and ArcSudio, but am new to ArcGIS Mobile.  In ArcPad, a user in the field can click on a parcel and an edit form will appear which will allow the user to enter data for various attribute fields of the parcels layer.  It is easy to design the form, data entry controls can be laid out logically, entries can be validated, ect. In the out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile application, a user can edit attributes by: Tasks >> Identify (then click a parcel) >> Edit Attributes, which brings up a list of attribute fields, any of which can be selected to edit their values.  I note that a list of possible attribute values appears for fields where domains have been created. My question is: is it possible to create an ArcGIS Mobile application where a user clicks a parcel and an edit form appears where all of the data required to be updated is shown on a single form, as it is in ArcPad?  (I do understand that in ArcGIS Mobile, edits are recorded to the Map Cache to be reconciled with the geodatabase later.) Background: using ArcGIS Mobile 10, applications to be deployed on two YUMA tablet PCs, field crews will be in two completely different locations. Thank you. James Meuse ... View more

In previous ArcPad projects, I was able to open a common dialog box to allow the user to browse for files by using the following code: Set objOpenDialog = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog") This still works on my office PC with Windows XP, but our field computer has Windows 7 and I have been unable to find an equivalent statement which will allow the user to browse for files.  I also tried: objOpenDialog = CreateObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog") which worked in neither Windows XP or Windows 7.  Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
