Data Collection for Android shows how a robust application can be built around the ArcGIS Platform using the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android and Kotlin. It demonstrates best practices around some simple but key functionality of the ArcGIS Runtime. Using your organization's web maps, you can use Data Collection as is, or extend it to meet your specific needs.

SDK Usage

Mobile Data Collection leverages several aspects of the Runtime SDK including:

• Identifying map features
• Portal authentication with OAuth 2.0
• Working with Features, Popups and PopupManagers

Detailed Documentation

Read the docs for a detailed explanation of the application, including its architecture and how it leverages the ArcGIS platform, as well as how you can begin using the app right away.

Development Instructions

Data Collection is an Android Studio project and app module that can be directly cloned and imported into Android Studio.

1. Log in to ArcGIS for Developers and register your app.

2. Once you've registered the Data Collection app, grab a copy of the client id from the registration and set the client_id in the application's app_settings.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <!-- TODO: add your own client id here-->
    <string name="client_id">YOUR_CLIENT_ID</string>

    <!-- This redirect URI is the default value for https://www.arcgis.com -->
    <string name="redirect_uri">data-collection://auth</string>

</resources>

3. As part of the registration process, add a redirect URI for your app. Navigate to the Redirect URIs section at the bottom of the registration page and set the redirect URI to data-collection://auth.

Note that the scheme for the DefaultOAuthIntentReceiver in the Android Manifest file is derived from the redirect uri.

        <activity
            android:name="com.esri.arcgisruntime.security.DefaultOAuthIntentReceiver"
            android:label="OAuthIntentReceiver"
            android:launchMode="singleTask">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

                <data
                        android:host="auth"
                        android:scheme="data-collection"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Fork the repo

Fork the Data Collection for Android repo.

Clone the repo

Once you have forked the repo, you can make a local clone.

Command line Git

1. Clone the Data Collection for Android repo
2. cd into the data-collection-android folder
3. Make your changes and create a pull request

Configuring a Remote for a Fork

If you make changes in the fork and would like to sync those changes with the upstream repository, you must first configure the remote. This will be required when you have created local branches and would like to make a pull request to your upstream branch.

1. In the Terminal (for Mac users) or command prompt (fow Windows and Linux users) type git remote -v to list the current configured remote repo for your fork.
2. git remote add upstream https://github.com/Esri/data-collection-android to specify new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork. You can type git remote -v to verify the new upstream.

If there are changes made in the original repository, you can sync the fork to keep it updated with the upstream repository.

1. In the terminal, change the current working directory to your local project.
2. Type git fetch upstream to fetch the commits from the upstream repository.
3. git checkout master to checkout your fork's local master branch.
4. git merge upstream/master to sync your local master branch with upstream/master. Note: Your local changes will be retained and your fork's master branch will be in sync with the upstream repository.
