Was the issue exclusive to the implicit brackets from the JavaDoc class description?  We can remove them in the next release.  Let me know if there is/was an issue beyond including the brackets with your Bing Maps Key. ... View more

You can populate the attributes of a graphic after it has been created using the GraphicsLayer.updateGraphic() method.  Once a Graphic is added to a GraphicsLayer it is assigned a UID.  This is currently by design so you cannot specify a UID on a new Graphic.  The overloaded Graphic constructor that takes a UID parameter is an issue we are working on.  As you have observed, when you assign a UID with that constructor it will not be honored with a returned Graphic from GraphicsLayer.  We are looking to address this issue.  If I understand your scenario correctly, you need to update a graphic with attributes based on user clicking on the graphic.  You can use the screen coords x, y from the MapView listener to identify which Graphic you want to update.  Below is an example:    mMapView.setOnLongPressListener(new OnLongPressListener() { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override public void onLongPress(float x, float y) {   int[] guids = gLayer.getGraphicIDs(x, y, 10);       if(guids.length != 0){    Graphic gr = gLayer.getGraphic(guids[0]);    int uid = gr.getUid();    Map<String,Object> attr = gr.getAttributes();    attr.put("name", "Test");    gLayer.updateGraphic(uid, attr);    Log.d("Test", "Graphic attr update name = "+ gr.getAttributeValue("name"));       } } ...

Are you specifically wanting to use the Viewshed service?  If so, it does not support asynchronous execution.  Before you can use the Geoprocessing task you have to know whether the task is asynchronous or synchronous.  This is described in the ArcGIS Services Directory. ... View more

Is there a specific question on this thread?  I understand you are frustrated, please explain the exact issue you are having and I seek some answers for you.  BTW:  We have been testing the updated emulator provided by Google and recently posted a workflow which works on all supported platforms > http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/05/02/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-android-v1-1-supports-android-emulator/. ...

Good catch!  Thanks for pointing this out.  We have marked this as a bug and will have it addressed in our upcoming release. ... View more

Are you interested in viewing the RPF (Raster Product Format) as a map service or as a local tile layer? Direct read of RPF data is not supported in the Android API but you can do one of the following to view the data on in your Android Application. 1. Map Service Create your map in ArcGIS Desktop and publish it as a MapService to ArcGIS Server. 2. Local Tile layer Create a map cache and store the data locally on your device. The data for this layer must be in an ArcGIS Compact Cache format. The path used in the constructor of the ArcGISLocalTiledLayer must point to the Layers folder e.g. ArcGISLocalTiledLayer local = new ArcGISLocalTiledLayer("file:///mnt/sdcard/<CacheName>/Layers"); ...

What's the proper way to recycle/destroy/free up resources for an ArcGIS Map? You should implement the following Activity methods in the class with your MapView         MapView map;         //*******         //********         @Override          protected void onDestroy() {                     super.onDestroy();                     map.recycle();                }         @Override          protected void onPause() {                     super.onPause();                     map.pause();                }        @Override         protected void onResume() {                     super.onResume();                      map.unpause();                } We do not support multiple MapViews with this release of the SDK.  This is a limitation of our current implementation and there is no workaround unfortunately.   We are working to resolve this in the next release. ...

These classes were removed in the release API.  By removing these classes we no longer support extending the base classes to create customized layers.  You can override the 'getTile()' method on the TiledLayer class to create customized layers.  Please share your use case if you continue to have issues refactoring  your code to the release API. ...

A lot has changed between beta SDK and release with respect to the MapView so you may need to refactor your code a bit.  Can you share the code on how you are instantiating the MapView component? ... View more

Can you confirm whether you are using a device or emulator?  We do not support the emulator so you must deploy to a device. ... View more

Yes, this is supported in the SDK.  To use a service that requires tokens, you must first obtain a token, and then embed the token in your application.  Once you have a valid token you can add it to your application code using the ArcGISFeaturelayer constructor. In order to create a token based secure layer you must construct a UserCredential with a token and pass it into the ArcGISFeaturelayer constructor. UserCredentials credentials =new UserCredentials(); credentials.setUserToken("PLACE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE", "URL_REFERRER"); tokenLayer = new ArcGISFeatureLayer("SECURE FEATURE SERVICE URL", MODE.SNAPSHOT, credentials); Replacing BOLD text with appropriate parameters. The same philosophy applies to WebMap. Do not put a token based URL as your web map layer�??s URL. The correct way to include a secure layer in webmap.     1. Include the layer�??s URL without a token     2. If layer initialization fails and it is a security exception, ask for user�??s credential     3.  Re-initialize the layer with user credential. ...

This workflow is unsupported as we only support one map running in an application at a time.  This is a known issue with our current release of the SDK and we are looking into supporting this in the future. ... View more
