Local Server map image layer

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Start the Local Server and Local Map Service, create an ArcGIS Map Image Layer from the Local Map Service, and add it to a map.

Use case

For executing offline geoprocessing tasks in your ArcGIS Runtime apps via an offline (local) server.

How to use the sample

The Local Server and local map service will automatically be started and, once running, a map image layer will be created and added to the map.

How it works

  1. Create and run the Local Server.
    • LocalServer::instance creates the Local Server.
    • LocalServer::start() starts the server asynchronously.
  2. Wait for server to be in the LocalServerStatus::Started state.
    • LocalServer::statusChanged() fires whenever the running status of the Local Server changes.
  3. Create and run a local service, example of running a LocalMapService.
    • new LocalMapService(Url), creates a local map service with the given URL path to the map package (mpkx file).
    • LocalMapService::start() starts the service asynchronously.
    • The service is added to the Local Server automatically.
  4. Wait for map service to be in the LocalServerStatus::Started state.
    • LocalMapService::statusChanged() signal fires whenever the status of the local service has changed.
  5. Create an ArcGIS map image layer from local map service.
    • Create a ArcGISMapImageLayer(Url) from local map service URL, LocalMapService::url()
    • Add the layer to the map's operational layers.
    • Connect to the map image layer's LoadStatusChanged signal.
    • When the layer's status is Loaded, set the map view's extent to the layer's full extent.
