public class ArcGISFeatureLayer
extends GraphicsLayer

ArcGISFeatureLayer is a special type of GraphicsLayer that allows you to display features from a layer hosted by an ArcGIS Server map service or feature service. The layer can be either a spatial layer or a non-spatial table. If the layer is editable, you can add, update and delete features. The following are examples of how you might work with the ArcGISFeatureLayer class.

Java usage:

 //ArcGISFeatureLayer class is used to define the Layer that is added to the 
 //MapView object.
 MapView mv = new MapView(this);
 mv.addLayer(new ArcGISFeatureLayer(url,MODE.SNAPSHOT));
 setContentView(mv);

Method Detail

initLayer

protected void initLayer()

Description copied from class: Layer

Initializes the layer. The implementation should submit the OnStatusChangedListener.STATUS event accordingly.

Overrides:

initLayer in class GraphicsLayer

getDefinitionExpression

public String getDefinitionExpression()

Returns the current definition expression.

Returns:

the definition.

Since:

1.0

See Also:

setDefinitionExpression(String)

setDefinitionExpression

public void setDefinitionExpression(String expression)

Sets the definition expression of the feature layer. Only the features that match the definition expression are displayed. A definition expression limits the features available for display and queries by applying constraints to the layer's attribute fields. Setting a definition expression is useful when the dataset is large and you don't want to bring everything to the client for analysis. This method is typically called before adding the layer to the map. If the method is called after the layer is added to the map the layer will refresh itself to reflect the new definition expression.

Parameters:

expression - the definition expression.

Since:

1.0

getDefaultDefinitionExpression

public String getDefaultDefinitionExpression()

Returns the Metadata describing the default definition expression for the layer as defined by the service. The default definition expression limits the features available for display and query. You cannot override this value but you define additional filters on the default expression using the setDefinitionExpression(String) method. For example, if the default definition expression is set to display data where "STATE_NAME = 'California'" you could use setDefinitionExpression to only display a subset of the features in California e.g., "COUNTY='San Diego'".

Returns:

the default definition expression

Since:

1.0

Since:

1.0

getBufferFactor

public int getBufferFactor()

Returns the factor used to calculate buffered extent. When in ONDEMAND mode, you have a choice to fetch the features within current extent or buffered extent. The buffer is calculated as: width = extent.width * bufferFactor * 2 + 1); height = extent.height * (bufferFactor * 2 + 1);

By default it is 1 (100%).

Returns:

the buffer factor

Since:
