Depending on what you need to do with the results, you can work with the appropriate return type you configured in the trace
-
Elements—Element results provide the utility elements
A utility element is an entity in a utility network that corresponds to a feature or a part of a feature (for example, a terminal inside a device). that are found by a trace. Use these results when you need access to individual utility elements, their corresponding featuresA feature is a single record, also known as a row, that represents a real-world entity. It typically contains a geometry (point, multipoint, polyline, or polygon) and attributes but it can also contain just attributes. , and their attributesAttributes are fields and values for a single feature or non-spatial record. They are typically stored in a database or service such as a feature service. . This is the default trace result type. -
Geometry—Geometry results contains multipart geometries that represent the union of the geometry
A geometry is a geometric shape, such as a point, polyline, or polygon, that contains one or more coordinates and a spatial reference. for all elements returned. These results are best for displaying the trace result on a map. -
Functions—A function is a trace configuration that allows you to run calculations on network attributes associated with traced features. A function output is returned for every function defined in the configuration.
// Execute the network utility trace.
ListenableFuture<List<UtilityTraceResult>> utilityTraceResultsListenableFuture =
utilityNetwork.traceAsync(utilityTraceParameters);
// Wait for the trace to complete.
utilityTraceResultsListenableFuture.addDoneListener(() -> {
try {
// Get the trace results.
List<UtilityTraceResult> utilityTraceResults = utilityTraceResultsListenableFuture.get();
// Check that there is a trace result, then get the first result of the utility trace.
if (utilityTraceResults.getFirst() != null &&
utilityTraceResults.getFirst() instanceof UtilityElementTraceResult utilityElementTraceResult) {
// Get the elements in the trace result.
List<UtilityElement> utilityElements = utilityElementTraceResult.getElements();
if (!utilityElements.isEmpty()) {
// Check if there are any elements in the first trace result.
System.out.println("Count of utility elements in first trace result is: "
+ utilityElements.size());
// Process trace results here.
Element results
If you need fine-grained access to the results, such as the ability to work with individual utility elements
You can use the element's network source
For every group (network source with utility elements), make sure there is a layer in the map for the features. Next, find the features corresponding to the utility elements.
// (continued from above)
// Make a hash map of key-value pairs where key is the name of a utility network source
// and value is a list of utility elements in that utility network source.
HashMap<String, List<UtilityElement>> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
for (UtilityElement utilityElement : utilityElements) {
// Group together utility elements that have the same network source.
List<UtilityElement> utilityElementsWithSameNetworkSource;
String utilityNetworkSourceName = utilityElement.getNetworkSource().getName();
// If the utility network source name is already a key, then get the
// corresponding list of elements.
if (hashMap.containsKey(utilityNetworkSourceName)) {
utilityElementsWithSameNetworkSource = hashMap.get(utilityNetworkSourceName);
} else {
// If utility network source name is not a key, create a new list of elements.
utilityElementsWithSameNetworkSource = new ArrayList<>();
}
// Add current utility element to the list of elements.
utilityElementsWithSameNetworkSource.add(utilityElement);
// Update the hash map with the new/modified key-value pair.
hashMap.put(utilityNetworkSourceName, utilityElementsWithSameNetworkSource);
}
// Ensure that the features' layer exists in the map.
for (Map.Entry<String, List<UtilityElement>> entry : hashMap.entrySet()) {
FeatureLayer layer = (FeatureLayer) map.getOperationalLayers().getFirst();
if (layer.getFeatureTable().getTableName().equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getKey())) {
// Get the features that correspond to the elements.
ListenableFuture<List<ArcGISFeature>> arcGISFeatureListListenableFuture =
utilityNetwork.fetchFeaturesForElementsAsync(entry.getValue());
arcGISFeatureListListenableFuture.addDoneListener(() -> {
try {
List<ArcGISFeature> arcGISFeatureList = arcGISFeatureListListenableFuture.get();
// Do something with the features.
Select the features that correspond to the trace result or process as required.
// (continued from above)
// Select features to highlight result.
for (ArcGISFeature arcGISFeature : arcGISFeatureList) {
layer.selectFeature(arcGISFeature);
}
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}); // End of arcGISFeatureListListenableFuture.addDoneListener(() -> {
} // End of if (layer.getFeatureTable().getTableName().equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getKey())) {
} // End of for (Map.Entry<String, List<UtilityElement>> entry : hashMap.entrySet()) {
} else {
System.out.println("First trace result is empty.");
}
} // End of if (utilityTraceResults.getFirst() != null &&
// utilityTraceResults.getFirst() instanceof UtilityElementTraceResult utilityElementTraceResult) {
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Function results
If function results are included, they will contain a UtilityTraceFunctionOutput for every UtilityTraceFunction that was defined in the UtilityTraceConfiguration. Each UtilityTraceFunctionOutput contains the original function definition as well as the function result.
Geometry results
Geometry results make it easy to display the tracex,y values. Each coordinate can also optionally include a z value for height and/or a m value for measure (typically used in linear referencing).UtilityGeometryTraceResult exposes the geometry result for each potential geometry type. If the result does not include a certain geometry type, the corresponding property will be null.
Get the geometry results from the trace results. Depending how the trace parameters were defined (i.e. which result types were requested), there may be more than one result type. Create a new graphic for each geometry in the geometry results, check if there's any need to reproject to the map's spatial reference
