1 Developing Mapping Applications with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Windows Mobile Jay Chen Justin Colville

2 Agenda What is ArcGIS Runtime for Windows Mobile Software Development Kit Application SDK - Introduction and Key Concepts - Demos Core SDK - Architecture - What s new Road Map

3 Introduction

4 ArcGIS Runtime Family of SDKs for multiple platforms - Consistent capabilities Native to the platform - For building great apps Lightweight and fast Powerful Easy

5 Part of the ArcGIS platform ArcGIS Online / Portal - Maps, services, content and Organization branding ArcGIS for Server - Services ArcGIS for Desktop - Packages

6 SDK Platforms Android JavaSE QT 10.2 BETA ios OS X 10.2 BETA Java/ Android Java Win/Linux C++ Win/Linux Objective-C Cocoa Touch Objective-C Cocoa Windows Mobile WPF Windows Phone Windows Store 10.2 BETA.NET.NET/XAML.NET/XAML.NET/XAML Core Runtime

7 Runtime form factors Desktop OS X WPF Phone s and tablets Windows Store QT ios Windows Mobile JavaSE Android Windows Phone Embedded

8 ArcGIS for Windows Mobile Client Applications - Rapid Deployment of Maps, Apps & Projects - Task-based, Workflow Driven User Experience - Disconnected - Synchronization of Data between Field & Office SDK - Coarse-grained.NET API - Extend client applications - Build custom solutions

9 ArcGIS for Windows Mobile Offline multi-stop routing Support for hosted feature services Geometry editing Tablet application user experience enhancements - Simplified data collection workflow - GPS and coordinate display information

10 Software Developer Kit

11 Software Developer Kit Core SDK API Builds new field applications from scratch Embed GIS into existing Line-of-business applications Connected or occasionally connected filed operations Conceptual Documentation, API Reference, VS components & templates Application SDK API Extends ready-to-deploy applications Creates new tasks or customizing existing functions Available for Windows and Windows Mobile Sample Code

12 Core SDK and Application SDK Win Forms Network Resources Application SDK Sync Agents GPS Windows Mobile UI Controls Geometry WPF Spatial Reference Mobile Cache Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Core SDK.Net Framework /.Net Compact Framework

13 Application SDK

14 Application SDK - Introduction Designed for ready-to-deploy tablet and Windows Mobile applications Allows developers to customize the applications - Changes existing tasks/functions - Integrates new business logic and workflows

15 Application SDK Key Concepts Task - Defines a workflow for field operation - Embeds organization-specific business logic - Creates an entry on Task List Page - Inherits Task class - Execute() starts workflow - Example - Fire data collection task

16 Application SDK Key Concepts (cont.) Extension - Customizes behavior of existing Tasks or functions - Needs to hook up to an extensible point in framework - Inherits ProjectExtension class - Either modifies existing workflow or introduces new business logic - Example: - Laser Rangefinder Extension - Barcode Reader Extension - Bluetooth Camera Extension

17 Application SDK Conceptual Architecture WPF/Windows Mobile View Map Task Collect Features WorkList Mobile Application Project Search Synchronize GpsConnection Custom Custom Custom Task Task Task Project Extension Custom Custom Extension Custom Task Task

18 Application SDK Extensible Points MapPage - Extends MapPage if you need a page with map - Best practice for memory optimization - You can customize - Title bar (icon + title) - Soft menu

19 Application SDK Extensible Points (cont) Edit Attributes Page - Takes a Feature as input - Built-in data entry page when a group is activated - Built-in validation for required fields - Supports attachments View Attributes Page - Takes a Feature as input - Supports attachments

20 Application SDK Extensible Points (cont) CollectFeaturesTask - Add/remove geometry collection methods - Add/remove groups (fields)

21 Application SDK Extensible Points (cont) MenuDialog - Think of it as a context menu on Windows - Use it when there are multiple actions available

22 Application SDK Extensible Points (cont) SettingsPage - A central place to configure settings - Add/remove settings - Saves with mobile project Example: - Laser Rangefinder - Com port - Baudrate

23 Demo Application Extension

24 How to Get Started? Project Templates - Seamless integration with Visual Studio IDE - Creates Task or ProjectExtension solutions - Supports both Windows and Windows Mobile - Includes VS project for MPC Developer Help - Discusses architecture of the framework - Reveals extensible points with code snippets SDK Samples - Implemented in C# - Demonstrates various extensible points

25 Core SDK

26 Core SDK - Conceptual Architecture GPS Map MapAction Mobile Service Connection Sync Agents Feature Layer Mobile Cache Annotation Layer Tile Cache/StreetMap

27 What s new with the Core SDK No major namespace or class changes Feature Service Replication API - Supports hosted feature service from Online and Portal - Treated as a FeatureSource - Data stored in MobileCache - Supports connected and disconnected scenarios
