Robert Scheitlin, GISP‌ I am using the Enhanced Locate widget and trying to make a change to add some extra info to the result list and popup.  It all seems to be working but the extra lines don't show up in the Results list (popup is as expected).  My guess is that there is a style limiting the height or number of lines allowed but I cannot seem to find. Any thoughts on where I should be looking? Thanks -Joe Found it, this gets built out in the custom List object... ... View more

We definitely recommend using the Runtime APIs to take maps/layers offline. Whilst you could do this directly via the REST API you would need to handle authentication, edit validation, error handling etc. yourself. Using the Runtime API takes care of these things for you and also gives access to the other parts of the API for visualizing and analysing your data etc. There are workflows one could use that generate the replicas outside the client mapping application.  In these cases using an application that may not use Runtime API may make sense.  This is simply for the purpose of generating a replica, obviously for a client mapping application the Runtime API is needed ...

Not sure what your actual question is.... But basically wherever you are supposed to pass a username and password to get a credential pass in empty strings.  This tells the API to use IWA. ... View more

Not exactly.  When you take a map offline it does not produce a MMPK file.  The files are contained in a folder on the device.  I believe these are basically the same files contained in an MMPK package, just not packaged. There are two options to take a map offline. Generate and download the package on-demand.  This means the user requests the package from the server and all the files are created then downloaded.  These packages can take a while to generate (5-10 minutes, or so depending on size of area and amount of data) which can be inconvenient. Generate pre-packaged offline packages in portal or agol and then have client download these.  This is far faster, but the number of pre-packaged maps is very limitted (I believe 16 per web map This is incorrect.  A feature layer does not need to be hosted to be taken offline.  It just needs to be configured correctly.  Both versioned and archive enabled, non-versioned data can be taken offline.  The service needs to be setup to allow Sync when it is published The simplest way to generate replicas is with Runtime.  Each of the above is slightly different, but follow the same pattern and are quite straight forward.  There are samples of how to do each in documentation For completeness:  The Runtime API is not required to generate offline data.  The Runtime API simplifies things greatly, but the Runtime API just wraps a bunch of ArcGIS Server Rest API calls.  One could generate replicas using the ArcGIS Server Rest API directly, including doing this from the web interface provided by esri.  In the same manner one could sync data using ArcGIS Server Rest API directly. ...

I would probably just say simplicity.  You don't need to do anything to use the SystemLocationDataSource it's already implemented.  If you wanted to tie any other location provider into the MapView's LocationDisplay you will have to write a custom LocationDataSource.  Not an overly difficult task, but more difficult than doing nothing. -Joe ...

Maybe in a another release    For now we will just use a list to show the features in the selected area and the user can then select an item to investigate more fully ... View more

M is a relative measure of length and can represent any unit of measure.  It could be length in feet, or it could be the time it takes a turtle to walk from one point to the next.  It is what the creator of the data meant it to mean. ... View more

I really didn't want to display a lot of information, just one or two lines with the button like the Callout, but with an ability to scroll through a set of features that were identified.  Then use the button to display a more complete list of attributes in a panel  The need stems from having features very close together so being able to tap the single feature is impossible. We already have implemented a select tool to return things as a list in a side panel we can use that same approach for doing an identify, just thought it would be nice to have it done within the map view ...

To move something you just need to update the geometry of the existing feature var feature = //somehow get existing feature feature.Geometry = myNewGeometry; await feature.FeatureTable.UpdateFeatureAsync(feature);‍‍‍‍‍ In terms of how one would actually allow a user to choose an existing polygon and allow the user to move that depends on many factors. ...

I have only tried to use the nuget package created compiling the github project.  Not to actually use the NuGet package at 100.4, I could try that.  Currently I cannot navigate to a view that has the Legend control on it.  No exceptions, it just won't open the view ... View more
