The 10.2.9 release of ArcGIS Runtime is a very old release which is now retired.  Things have moved on a lot in the last few years. We do however regularly update our APIs and add new features to support the latest devices.  Take a look at our 100.9.0 release here and you should have a lot more success.  ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android (latest) | ArcGIS for Developers  Does this help? ...

Hi Fuzial, At the moment for the Java SDK we only support the non-encrypted S57 format ENC data.  We are certainly planning this in a future release. If you need something today, I can confirm that we do support S63 on the .Net platform so if you could bring yourself to writing a WPF app for example you'd be able to read the data. I'd be very interested to hear more about your Java requirement so this can be prioritised if needed. Thanks Mark ... View more

Hi Arron, You need to tell me exactly what you are trying to do here. The NMEALocationDataSource class is for internal use only at the moment.  This will become a new item of functionality on a future release for high accuracy GPS devices. If you explain what you are trying to achieve, I can guide you. Thanks Mark ... View more

Hi Travis, I need to understand a little more about what you are trying to achieve here.  The Runtime SDK for Java is a client side SDK for the purpose of writing JavaFX desktop applications.  Although it might be technically possible to use the SDK for a server side component, this isn't the intended use-case. I'm sure we've got a good solution for you, but we need to better understand what you are trying to achieve here. If you give us some more details, we'll guide you to the best solution. Thanks Mark ... View more

I suspect I know the problem here.  Although the latest version of Local Server and Runtime is 100.8, we've not released 100.8 of the sample viewer.  I suspect you are using 100.7 for the sample viewer which won't work with the latest Local Server. To get this working, you have a couple of options:  - Run the sample in your IDE (inteliJ for example) using the latest 100.8 version of Runtime (this is what I strongly recommend)  - If you want to use the 100.7 sample viewer, then you will need to install Local Server 100.6.

Can you give me a little more background on this issue?  - what does your app do?  - what device are you using?  - can you share any code? If you take a very basic app such as this sample can you reproduce it? ... View more

100.4 is quite an old release.  Are you able to reproduce the issue with 100.8 which is our current version? ... View more

The purpose of SpaceEffect.TRANSPARENT value is for setting the SceneView.setSpaceEffect property. It is documented here SceneView (ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android 100.8.0)  I'm going to try to answer your question based on how we designed it to be used, but if this doesn't help please reply explaining (with pictures if it helps) what you are wanting to do. It is working as expected, but I need to explain how it works any why. We added this to the API for developers wanting to create Augmented Reality (AR) experiences.  The transparency is for allowing you to view a video feed behind your scene view.  Making AR experiences can be quite complex so keeping this answer simple for the moment, there is an nice easy alternative.  We've made a toolkit component which simplifies matters for you. I would start by looking at this sample which demonstrates a fly-over experience which in its current state just uses the device sensors for navigating a scene.  In the background the spaceEffect property is set to STARS, but this is exposed via the ARView property renderVideoFeed. Samples code in Git    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <com.esri.arcgisruntime.toolkit.ar.ArcGISArView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/arView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" app:renderVideoFeed="false" /> So if you modify the activity XML in the sample and set the renderVideoFeed property to true, you will view the video feed as in the background we've set the spaceEffect property to TRANSPARENT.  When you move your device around you will see the video feed rendered behind your data. This is what it looked like when I ran it on my phone earlier.  With the transparency you see the light behind my desk. There is also a sample which has the video feed set up already, but you need to ensure you have the local data side-loaded on your device.  See table top AR sample code  All of the toolkit components are open source so you can see how it works internally if you are interested in how it works.  This code shows how we use the renderVideoFeed property to set the transparency: arcgis-runtime-toolkit-android/ArcGISArView.kt at master · Esri/arcgis-runtime-toolkit-android · GitHub  And in terms of the activity layout it looks something like this: arcgis-runtime-toolkit-android/layout_arcgisarview.xml at master · Esri/arcgis-runtime-toolkit-android · GitHub  Does this answer your question or clarify the purpose of the property? If you are trying to create an AR app, then it is also worth reading this : Display scenes in augmented reality—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android | ArcGIS for Developers  ... View more

Okay the word from the Local Server team is that the GDB is needed by some GP tools which need to write content into it.  So you could exclude it if you've tested you workflows function correctly. If however you start using a GP tool which does need it, you may run into trouble. ... View more

Julien, If no popup information is defined for a layer then you can always just do a straight identify operation and read the attributes.  You should be able to get an identify result back for feature layers, shapefiles, even raster cell values now. Mark ... View more

Your code is basically okay, but there is something odd with that shapefile. I opened it up in ArcMap and looked at the attributes.  It has FID which I would expect, but it also has FID_1.  I deleted the attribute completely from the shapefile and this fixed the issue - it loaded fine! I'm not a shapfile expert, but I'll ask someone to comment on what might have happened here. I'd also be tempted to ask the data provider what the purpose of the FID_1 attribute is.  From the description given of the data I don't believe it should be there. You also ask why the console has "Licensed For Developer Use Only".  This is because you have not licensed your application for deployment.  ArcGIS Runtime is free to use as a developer, but there might be a cost associated with deployments.  Take a look at License your app—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers  Does this help? ...

Hi Julien, The availability of shapefiles for download for datasets really depends on if the data creator made one available.  In the case of the Florida data you supplied the data owner has specifically made these available for download. Are you trying to make an app to display data from an online source when you don't have any network connectivity (an offline app)?  If you are then offline webmap might be something you should consider.  These allow you to take the map offline, view and potentially edit it.  When you have network connectivity you can sync the changes back to the original dataset.  This document introducing the subject. Does this help at all?   If you need any more guidance its best if you explain what you are trying to achieve and the workflows you are trying to implement. Thanks Mark ... View more

Hi Julien, I'm afraid I don't understand your question.  The link you give above is link for some Portal item, but I can't see what it is as you need a username and password to access it. If you can explain what you are trying to achieve then I will try to help. Thanks ... View more
