Convert features into graphics to show them with mil2525d symbols.
Use case
A dictionary renderer uses a style file along with a rule engine to display advanced symbology. This is useful for displaying features using precise military symbology.
How to use the sample
Pan and zoom around the map. Observe the displayed military symbology on the map.
How it works
- Create a
Geodatabase
usingnew Geodatabase(geodatabasePath)
. - Load the geodatabase asynchronously using
Geodatabase.loadAsync()
. - Instantiate a
DictionarySymbolStyle
usingDictionarySymbolStyle(dictionarySymbolStylePath)
. - Load the symbol dictionary asynchronously using
dictionarySymbolStyle.loadAsync()
. - Wait for geodatabase to completely load by connecting to
Geodatabase.addDoneLoadingListener()
. - For each
GeoDatabaseFeatureTable
in theGeoDatabase
, create a feature layer with it, then add it to the map usingMap.getOperationalLayers().add(FeatureLayer)
. - Create
DictionaryRenderer(dictionarySymbolStyle)
and attach to the feature layer usingFeatureLayer.setRenderer(dictionaryRenderer)
. - Set the viewpoint of the map view to the extent of the feature layer using
MapView.setViewpointGeometryAsync(featureLayer.getFullExtent())
.
Relevant API
- DictionaryRenderer
- DictionarySymbolStyle
Offline Data
- Download the data stylx file and geodatabase from ArcGIS Online.
- Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to disk.
- Open your command prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the contents of the data from step 1.
- Push the data into the scoped storage of the sample app:
adb push mil2525d.stylx /Android/data/com.esri.arcgisruntime.sample.featurelayerdictionaryrenderer/files/mil2525d.stylx
adb push militaryoverlay.geodatabase /Android/data/com.esri.arcgisruntime.sample.featurelayerdictionaryrenderer/files/militaryoverlay.geodatabase
