Hi, I tried with the example provided, there are some some inputs:: in the provided functionality- you have to click mouse 4 times. in order to complete the rectangle to zoom in/out. but this I would like to do like this:: When user clicks on Map using Left Mouse button and then drag the mouse (Keeping the Mouse button pressed; and while dragging it should draw the rectangle also.), and when use releases the mouse, it should draw the rectangle and zoom in/out.   This also save the end user's time. and its very user friendly also. The sample 'Switch Overlays' that Mark mentioned has exactly the functionality you describe above. When you click the 'Zoom Box Overlay' button, the overlay gets activated. Now you can press the mouse to get the initial corner of the zoom box, then drag and see the rectangle being drawn, and when you release the mouse it zooms to this rectangle/envelope. The source code for this is in the toolkit, the class is called ZoomBoxOverlay (com.esri.client.toolkit.overlays). You can get to the source code via your IDE by adding the toolkit jar to a project and expanding the classes as appropriate, or the toolkit sources jar is in <install location>/sdk/jars called ArcGIS_Runtime_Java_Toolkit-sources which you can unzip and browse through. ~elise ...

That was what the first part of my post was about. When I use USCitiesStates.mpk for example from the sample data that comes with the SDK, I can add 3 shapefiles as it has 3 sublayers. If I use the mpk_blank, I can add one at a time. Note that the code I attached has a couple of build errors against 10.1.1 jars, from imports that have changed packages. A simple remove/re-import solves that but just to mention it. ~elise ... View more

Hi, With what's available from JavaFX today you can embed a JavaFX component into a Swing application using a JFXPanel. The JFXPanel is a Swing component that can hold JavaFX content, as described here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/swing/swing-fx-interoperability.htm As far as I can tell the reverse is not possible right now, i.e. embedding a Swing component into a JavaFX application, but it may become available in the future. So, since the JMap is a Swing component, it can co-exist with one or more JFXPanels / JavaFX UI elements in this way. ~elise ... View more

Hi, The API doesn't have something specific for this case at the moment but we hope to better support this workflow at the upcoming release. At the moment, you can get the geometry type of the layer by creating a request yourself as described on this page: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/dynamicLayer.html From the sample code snippet you quote, you can rearrange the order a bit and use the LayerDataSource to create your request parameters...         DynamicLayerInfoCollection layerInfos = localDynamicLayer.getDynamicLayerInfos();         DynamicLayerInfo layerInfo = layerInfos.get(0);          // Create the data source         TableDataSource dataSource = new TableDataSource();         dataSource.setWorkspaceId(workspaceId);         dataSource.setDataSourceName(fileName);          // Set the data source         LayerDataSource layerDataSource = new LayerDataSource();         layerDataSource.setDataSource(dataSource);         layerInfo.setLayerSource(layerDataSource);          // NEW STUFF HERE             LayerInfo li = new LayerInfo(0, layerDataSource);         String layerParam = null;         String geometryType = null;         try {           layerParam = li.toJson();                      // make an http request, e.g. this code adapted from http://www.vogella.com/articles/ApacheHttpClient/article.html           HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();           HttpPost post = new HttpPost(localMapService.getUrlMapService() + "/dynamicLayer?");           List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);           nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("layer", layerParam));           post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));           HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);           BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));           String line = "";           while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {             // can get the geometry type from the response line, for example...             String regexp = "esriGeometry(\\w+)";             Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regexp);             Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(line);             matcher.find();             geometryType = matcher.group().replaceAll(regexp, "$1");             System.out.println(geometryType);           }          } catch (Exception e) {           e.printStackTrace();         }         // END NEW STUFF              // create renderer based on geometry, etc.          DrawingInfo drawingInfo = new DrawingInfo(myRenderer, myTransparency);         layerInfo.setDrawingInfo(drawingInfo);          localDynamicLayer.refresh(); The regexp stuff in particular is proof of concept... better to properly parse the Json that gets returned... Hope that helps, ~elise ... View more
