It looks like I can call getExtent() to get a polygon of the extent of the layer. Next I would like to have the point that is the center of the extent so that I can pan to it with my map view? I have looked around and can not find a method that will do this (probably looking right past it in the API). Any help would be much apprenticed. Thanks, Forest ... View more

I know the object ID of (OBJECTID) of the feature I want from a local geodatabase on the sd card. I wish to pick it out and display I have this in my on click for my search button... try {    searchFeature = geodatabaseFeatureTable.getFeature(2);   } catch (TableException e1) {    // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); }    Geometry searchFeatureGeometry = searchFeature.getGeometry();    Graphic searchGraphic = new Graphic(searchFeatureGeometry, sfs);    GraphicsLayer searchGraphicLayer = new GraphicsLayer();    searchGraphicLayer.addGraphic(searchGraphic);    mMapView.addLayer(searchGraphicLayer);   } when I pass getFeature(1) it works fine but when I pass getFeature(2) the output is null. What is wrong here? Thanks so much for any help, Forest ... View more

I am not sure really how big of a problem this is or if it is a problem at all in the long run, but??? I have a main activity that shows a map view and some buttons/company logo etc. in relative layouts. The parent relative layout has two children, a map view and a relative layout for the buttons, logo, and app title - appearing like an action bar. Some of the buttons open up fragments taking up 1/6 of the screen for user input. So what is weird is that I can drag the map around (and use all other gestures) in the empty space (no buttons or edit text views) of the fragment and the ???action bar.??? This feels a little unnatural to me as logic suggests that the user should not be able to interact with the map where they cannot see it. Is there a way to control this behavior? Like I said, I am not sure it is worth it to fix???. Thanks so much for any input! Forest ... View more

This tool works good on my workstation, but it does not work on some other machines It looks like the data type is wrong for the parameter. However the data type is set to GPFeatureLayer which is a legal data type. I do not understand why this tool is not working on all machines.....

When I pick a symbol out of the contents right click menu they look nice and professional. But when they display on the map they are very poor looking. Please see attached images. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? Any help would be much appreciated, Forest ... View more

I have some custom png symbols made up for my data set. I have applied them to a layer in arcgis desktop using the picture marker symbol type. Then I have been saving layer packages and then adding them into arcgis explorer. All is well, but the alpha channel is lost. Also the symbols are not the same point size as they were in the original mxd. Next I tried setting them up as bmp files and setting a transparent RGB value. This worked but I would much rather have the soft edges that one can obtain with an RGBA image. Additionally I would like to not have to rework the symbols. Lastly, the symbols seem to re-size oddly with zooming. Some times they are displaying much to large, making them look pixelated. Any input would be much appreciated, thanks. ... View more

I may be missing some thing simple, but when I create a feature service hosted on ArcGIS Online it's features are all lost. However, the tiled service works as expected. I would like to ultimately have a tiled service for labels and a feature service to support pop-ups. rest endpoint for feature service http://services1.arcgis.com/i6Ak8tKmIYWZR75o/arcgis/rest/services/27/FeatureServer rest endpoint for tiled service http://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/i6Ak8tKmIYWZR75o/arcgis/rest/services/27_tile/MapServer I have attached a mpk of the original test data.
