Qt 6.5 re-introduced the the Location API as a technology preview..

The current (esri's one) SDK is very cumbersome and not as flexible as apposed to the official (Qt Location API) one.

i.e in order to draw a simple graphic on the map and handle touch events from it you need to implement
all this mess https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt/blob/v.next/ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_CppSamples/DisplayInformation/IdentifyGraphics/IdentifyGraphics.cpp

While with QtLocation API it is as simple as creating a MapQuickItem with some MouseHandler .

i have made a custom scale bar similar to https://community.esri.com/thread/201990-scale-bar , i am trying to resize the scale bar when i zoom in and zoom out .

onFindStatusChanged is not catching the find results although the status change is signaled with 2. it appears findStatus === Locator.FindComplete is not working. I think it should be findStatus === Enums.FindStatusCompleted. (Likewise for the error condition)

This should be a simple change- switch out the textInput component's text property to "searchTextInput" and change the searchTextInput to "3575 Geary Blvd, San Francisco". Then, in the application code that uses the SearchBox, just set the searchTextInput to whatever you want it to say.

As a user... I want to be able to select a basemap from a list and apply it to my map or scene.

Min-ship (High Priority):

• Either a gridview or listview of basemaps. This can be platform specific
• each item will show the name and thumbnail. Default thumbnail will be shown if nothing is available (some TPKs might not have)
• Without any configuration, should support displaying a number of the most common basemaps in a gallery view
• Works with API Keys
• when user selects a basemap, the current map or scene's basemap will be switched to the selected basemap (works in 2D & 3D) -- Note - 3D does not support vector basemaps at the moment

Nice-to-haves (moderate priority):

• if user is signed into portal, they should see their org's configured basemap list instead of our default
• user can optionally create their own list of basemaps (local or online) in code, and display those in the list

Here is the JavaScript widget for BasemapGallery - https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/widgets-basemapgallery/

While this toolkit doesn't include CMake support yet, this might save someone a lot of frustration in the future.

The Problem

In the following code snippet, Q_OBJECT is embedded in the comment block (line 46). This unfortunately confuses AutoMoc into thinking it's a real class and a valid macro reference (I'm guessing the AutoMoc parser doesn't keep track of comment blocks).

Minor aside: typo on line 49, should be CONSTANT

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-toolkit-qt/blob/5c6f5abc3ad2f95e32dc9239782a4c2f7e23eecd/uitools/cpp/Esri/ArcGISRuntime/Toolkit/Internal/GenericListModel.cpp#L26-L52

Workaround

Removing Q_OBJECT, or otherwise invalidating the line inside the comment allows AutoMoc to complete successfully.

We need an orientation property to set if it should display in landscape or portrait.

Scale factoring needs to be applied to have the buttons work well on different resolution screens.

This issue was incorrectly opened in this repository.

Rename the component and the example to use the new name

An example of editing attributes with the PopupView would be nice. I can get the view to appear but the exact procedure to 'trip' the editing capabilities is not obvious right now.

Some of the examples reference the zoom toolbar component, and need to be updated

A rotation toolbar should be added. This will have icons to rotate the map. This will be useful especially for non-touchscreen devices.

I would like to be able to use a time enabled feature layer that is missing the time interval value, but given that there is no way to manually override that, we cannot utilize that service.

As per Ting 's suggestion, this appears to be possible in the iOS toolkit.

there is an initializer for the iOS TimeSlider to instantiate with a “full time extent”: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-toolkit-ios/tree/master/Documentation/TimeSlider#usage

public func initializeTimeSteps(timeStepCount: Int, fullExtent: AGSTimeExtent, completion: @escaping (Error?)->Void)

In iOS it is also possible to set the full time extent using the property:

timeSlider.fullExtent = AGSTimeExtent(startTime: startTime, endTime: endTime)

The initial release will only support armv8-capable devices on Android.

Min-ship (High Priority)

• The overview map itself will be 2D only. For a 3D overview map, we will have a separate component called "overview scene" which will be prioritized separately
• The "main" geoview of the app can be either 2D map or 3D scene
• The overview map indicator should show the current view
• As your main geoview's viewpoint changes, the overview map is updated automatically
• The scale/LOD of the overview map should update automatically as the user zooms in on the main map. For example, If you are looking at a city level, we don't want the overview map to be at the World level - it should be somewhere around state or country level (depending on size of state/country)
• Extent indicator is a red solid line by default
• Basemap is the Esri Topographic Vector Basemap by default
• Works with API Keys
• On mobile, the overviewmap's touch/click events should be ignored (no user panning or zooming) - it is for reference only. On Desktop, it will update the main map's viewpoint
• works across the dateline (likely need to normalize geometry)
• works if map is rotated

Nice-to-haves (Moderate Priority)

The overview map's basemap can be changed/specified
The overview map's extent indicator should be customizable

Examples:

PortalItemsView sample shows the NavigationToolbar but does not init a positionSource, so requesting PositionButton.onClicked produces an error

QmlSamplesApp.app/Contents/Resources/qml/ArcGIS/Runtime/Toolkit/Controls/PositionButton.qml:41: TypeError: Cannot read property 'active' of null

As a user... I want a text box where I can search for a place, address, or feature, get results, and display them on a map.

Min Ship (High Priority):

• User can search for place or address
• Suggestions are returned (if supported by locator).
• Out of the box, the search bar works with AGOL world geocoding service. No configuration required. Just add to your app, and you can geocode and show results on map.
• Works with API Keys
• When user selects a suggestion or hits enter, a default graphic is added to the geoview and optionally the viewpoint is changed
• Added graphics contain attributes with geocode result information, so that developer can identify and display a callout with the geocoded address info
• works in 2D and 3D
• Developer can clear geocode result graphics from the view

Nice-to-haves (Moderate Priority):

• Developer can customize to specify their own locator, whether online (service endpoint/item) or offline (either locator file or from MobileMapPackage.locatorTask)
• Developer can easily modify style of graphic "pin" that is dropped (they might want to change the picture marker symbol or simple marker symbol style)
• Developer can opt to continue adding new pins with each search (add to), or to always only have 1 pin with the latest search (add as new).
• To consider - how can we build this so we can pull it into the route directions control when we get to that later? (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/widgets-directions/)
• To consider - how do we handle multiple results? If I search for "Coffee" and there are 8 results, can the developer opt to show all 8?
• Can search feature tables for features
• Customize search pins for the returned category ("coffee", "restaurants", "gas station", etc)

Here is the JS Search Widget - https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/widgets-search-3d/

Update import statements for 10.2.5.

The overview map should center on the full extent of the main map, and should zoom in slightly when the main map zooms.

SearchboxExample.qml sets SearchBox with searchTextInput: "900 North Point Ave, San Francisco", but search control renders with its internal default of "3575 Geary Blvd, San Francisco". Without typing in anything and clicking search it locates 900 North Point Ave, which is not what the user wanted but it is what the code wanted. Altering the text after init produces the correct results.

On windows: when selecting "ArcGIS Runtime 100.8 Qt Quick app" from the Qt creator wizard and selecting Cmake as buildssystem, where I set the following Cmake values:

• ArcGISRuntime_EsriCommonQt_IMPLIB = C:\ArcGIS\Qt100.8\sdk\windows\x64\lib\EsriCommonQtd.lib
• ArcGISRuntime_EsriCommonQt_LIB = C:\ArcGIS\Qt100.8\sdk\windows\x64\bin\EsriCommonQtd.dll
• ArcGISRuntime_runtimecore_LIB = C:\ArcGIS\Qt100.8\sdk\windows\x64\bin\runtimecore.dll
• ArcGISRuntime_INSTALL_DIR = C:/ArcGIS/Qt100.8
• QML_IMPORT_PATH = C:/ArcGIS/Qt100.8/sdk/windows/x64/qml

I keep getting the following error during runtime debugging:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qml/main.qml:16 plugin cannot be loaded for module "Esri.ArcGISRuntime": Cannot load library C:\ArcGIS\Qt100.8\sdk\windows\x64\qml\Esri\ArcGISRuntime\ArcGISRuntimePlugind.dll: The specified procedure could not be found.

How can I fix this? Would it be possible to fix this in the "ArcGIS Runtime 100.8 Qt Quick app" template?

timeslider

I have noticed a discrepancy between the QML and CPP timeSlider toolkits. In the QML version, under the start and end buttons, it specifies the date and time, whereas the C++ one does not say anything. I think it is really helpful to include that information in the C++ timeslider as well so the user knows what date range they are currently viewing. Please compare the 2 images below for more details.

QML:

C++:

Update the occurrences of the onMapReady signal handler with the new MapStatus enum.

The AppStudio team is creating a sample base on the Runtime sample Control time extent using time slider. During holistic testing we received some enhancement requests and 2 issues. One UI issue we found is components overlap if the screen width is small.

The other issue is not reproducible and is believed to be caused by latency issue (issue found by user in Melbourne, Australia). The issue reported by the user is after adjusting the slider, the user had to press play (or pause) button 2+ times to change behaviors.

The enhancement requests are:

• Disable forward and rewind buttons when in play
• Allow press and hold on forward and rewind buttons to skip until released
