ArcGIS Runtime SDKs

Why Build Native Apps?

• Only native apps can give the best performance

• Fully leverage device capabilities

• Access all peripherals via their native SDKs

• Best debugging experience

• Offline use of ArcGIS

Deliver Mapping, Analysis, & Situational Awareness in Your Native Apps

Dynamic Situational Awareness Open Source App

• Open Source App for developers writing solutions to meet Situational Awareness needs in

“DIL” (Disconnected, Intermittent, and Low-Bandwidth) environments

A complete open source example application

https://developers.arcgis.com/example-apps/dsa-app-qt/

• Key Characteristics:

- In-Vehicle or Handheld environments

- Local Data (no reliance on server)

- Real-time Data Feeds

- Military Symbology

- Exploratory Analysis (Viewshed, Line of Sight)

- Conditions and Alerts

- Collaboration (reports, markup, share

location)

- 3D

Capability Demos

Local Data

Local Data

• ArcGIS Runtime supports several local data formats and packages:

• Data can be directly taken offline from a web map (”preplanned” and “on-demand”

workflows) or packaged and side-loaded onto the device (MMPK, MSPK)

Working in a completely disconnected environment

- Mobile Map Packages

- Mobile Scene

Packages

- Mobile Geodatabase

- GeoPackage

- KML

- Shapefile

- Mobile Mosaic

Dataset

- NITF & RPF

- DTED

- MrSID

- GeoTIFF

- IMG

App Capabilities

Runtime API Used

- Mobile Scene Package support (new)

- Layers and their visibility state are serialized for when app closes and reopens

- App includes Layer List Control to see name, toggle visibility, reorder and remove layers

- MobileScenePackage

- GeoPackage

- FeatureLayer & RasterLayer

- LayerListModel (MVC pattern)

Real-time feeds

& Military SymbologyPeer-2-Peer SA

Real-time Feeds“Messages” shared between team members in the field

• Receiving and Broadcasting message feeds over Peer-to-Peer network

• Examples of feeds:

- Friendly Position Reports, Observation Reports, Sensor Observations, …

- Simulated over UDP

• App Capabilities:

- Symbology (MIL-STD-2525C)

- Performance – Dynamic Graphics are optimized for performance on device

- Graphics from feeds can participate in other analyses

- Graphics Overlay (dynamic rendering mode)

- DictionaryRenderer (military symbology)

App Capabilities

Runtime API Used

Military Symbology in ArcGIS Runtime

• Runtime uses Stylex File + Dictionary Renderer (same as ArcGIS Pro)

• Works with either Graphics Layer or Feature Layer

m_graphicsOverlay = new GraphicsOverlay(this);

DictionaryRenderer* renderer = new DictionaryRenderer(dictionarySymbolStyle, this);

m_graphicsOverlay->setRenderer(renderer);

DictionarySymbolStyle* dictionarySymbolStyle = DictionarySymbolStyle::createFromFile(styleLocation, this);

1. Create the DictionarySymbolStyle

2. Search the SymbolStyle or create the DictionaryRenderer:

Exploratory

AnalysisViewshed & Line of Sight

Exploratory AnalysisGPU-based Viewshed & Line of Sight analysis

• Uses the GPU of the device to calculate visibility analysis on-the-fly

• Exploratory: visual only, using data & LOD rendered to screen (not conclusive)

• Two types:

- “Location” – based on coordinate

- “GeoElement” – tied to graphic or feature

• App capabilites:

- Analysis Overlay List

- Analysis results can be attached to current location or existing feature or graphic

• Runtime API Used:

- AnalysisOverlay

- LocationViewshed, GeoElementViewshed

- LocationLineOfSight, GeoElementLineOfSight

AnalysisAlerts and Conditions

Alerts & ConditionsCritical notifications

• Alerting on conditions/rules against the real time feeds

• Conditions are the rules that are always evaluated

- Attribute

- Spatial / GeoFence

• App Capabilties:

- Create Conditions

- View and manage Conditions

- View and manage Alerts

• Runtime API used:

- GeometryEngine

- Graphics signal when attribute or geometry changed

App Capabilities

Runtime API Used

CollaborationMarkup and Reports

CollaborationShared Situational Awareness

• Collaboration is key for situational awareness

- Sharing markups and reports over P2P network

• App Capabilities:

- Simple sketch tool to draw and broadcast markups, and save as local overlay

- Wizard-driven tool to define an observation report and broadcast to others (P2P)

• Runtime API Used:

- FeatureCollectionLayer- easy to gather data and define an ad-hoc schema

- JsonSerializable toJson, fromJson to serialize and persist

- Graphics Overlay to draw
