Generate a local geodatabase from an online feature service.

Use case

Generating geodatabases is the first step toward taking a feature service offline. It allows you to save features locally for offline display.

How to use the sample

Zoom to any extent. Then click 'Generate Geodatabse' to generate a geodatabase of features from a feature service filtered to the current extent. A red outline will show the extent used. The job's progress is shown while the geodatabase is generated. When complete, the map will reload with only the layers in the geodatabase, clipped to the extent.

How it works

Create a GeodatabaseSyncTask with the URL of the feature service and load it.
Create GenerateGeodatabaseParameters specifying the extent and whether to include attachments.
Create a GenerateGeodatabaseJob with geodatabaseSyncTask::generateGeodatabase(parameters, downloadPath). Start the job with job::start().
When the job is done, job::result() will return the geodatabase. Inside the geodatabase are feature tables which can be used to add feature layers to the map.
Call syncTask::unregisterGeodatabase(geodatabase) after generation when you're not planning on syncing changes to the service.
