- All Implemented Interfaces:
Loadable
A tile cache stores a collection of images at various scales. A client can request the tiles needed to display a
particular map extent. You can use ExportTileCacheTask
to generate and download tiles from a service,
creating a tile package (.tpk/.tpkx). Alternatively, you can use ArcGIS Pro to create a map tile package and
provision it to the device.
Functional characteristics
ArcGIS tiled layers do not support reprojection, query, select, identify, or editing.
Performance characteristics
Tiles are generated when the cache is created. Requests for tiles are made on multiple threads and handled asynchronously. The size of each returned tile increases as the resolution or complexity of the image in the tile increases. For example, high-resolution imagery tiles can be larger files than topographic mapping for the same area and map extent.
Local tile caches are ideal for providing basemaps, or for infrequent changes to contextual layers when network
access is limited or non-existent. Use ExportTileCacheJob
to create and download a local tile cache to a device.
Alternatively, the cache can be provisioned directly to local storage. The supported types of
cache file formats are:
- Tile package (.tpk, .tpkx) - a tile cache of data, packaged into one convenient, portable file, ideal for offline sharing of complete tiled layers in a disconnected environment or via a portal.
- Compact Cache - a directory structure where groups of tiles are combined into larger .bundle files, preserving performance and reducing copy times and the size on disk of the cache.
- Exploded Cache - a directory structure where map tiles are stored as individual files.
TileCache
is often used as a basemap, as shown in the example below. Alternatively, it may be used to
create an ArcGISTiledLayer
that is added as an operational layer. An offline ArcGISTiledElevationSource
can also be created from an appropriate tile cache and added to the base surface of a scene using
ArcGISScene.setBaseSurface(Surface)
.
Example for working with a tile cache
// create a basemap from a local tile package TileCache tileCache = new TileCache("MyTiledPackage.tpk"); ArcGISTiledLayer tiledLayer = new ArcGISTiledLayer(tileCache); Basemap basemap = new Basemap(tiledLayer); ArcGISMap map = new ArcGISMap(basemap); // set the map to be displayed in the Map View mapView.setMap(map);

cancelLoad
public void cancelLoad()Description copied from interface:Loadable
Cancels loading metadata for the object.Cancels loading the metadata if the object is loading, and always invokes the done loading listener.
A load operation that is in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADING
state) can be cancelled by calling this method and the resource will transition fromLoadStatus.LOADING
toLoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOAD
state. If the load operation was successfully cancelled, a CancellationException will be returned fromLoadable.getLoadError()
.Cancellation should be used carefully because all enqueued done loading listeners for that resource instance will get invoked with an error stating that the operation was cancelled. Thus, one component in the application can cancel the load operation initiated by other components.
This method does nothing if the resource is not in
LoadStatus.LOADING
state.- Specified by:
cancelLoad
in interfaceLoadable
-
loadAsync
public void loadAsync()Description copied from interface:Loadable
Loads the metadata of the loadable resource asynchronously.The load status changes from
LoadStatus.NOT_LOADED
toLoadStatus.LOADING
. A listener can be added viaLoadable.addDoneLoadingListener(java.lang.Runnable)
that is invoked upon completion of the asynchronous load operation.If the load operation completes successfully, the load status will be
LoadStatus.LOADED
, which means the resource has loaded its metadata.If the load operation failed, the load status will be
LoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOAD
and the error can be retrieved by callingLoadable.getLoadError()
.This method can be called concurrently and repeatedly, but only one attempt is ever made to perform the load operation. If a load operation is already in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADING
state) whenloadAsync
is called, it simply piggy-backs on the outstanding operation and the done loading listener added to the loadable resource is enqueued to be invoked when that operation completes. If the operation has already completed (LoadStatus.LOADED
orLoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOAD
state) whenloadAsync
is called, the done loading listener is immediately invoked when added to the loadable resource.If a loadable resource has failed to load, calling
loadAsync
on it subsequently will not change its state. The done loading listener will be invoked immediately when added to the loadable resource. In order to retry loading the resource,Loadable.retryLoadAsync()
needs to be used.A load operation that is in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADING
state) can be cancelled by callingLoadable.cancelLoad()
. -
retryLoadAsync
public void retryLoadAsync()Description copied from interface:Loadable
Loads or retries loading metadata for the object asynchronously.Will retry loading the metadata if the object's load status is
LoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOAD
. Will load the object if it is not loaded. Will not retry to load the object if the object is loaded.For more details on the load process see
Loadable.loadAsync()
.- Specified by:
retryLoadAsync
in interfaceLoadable
-
addDoneLoadingListener
Description copied from interface:Loadable
Adds a listener to the loadable resource that is invoked when loading has completed.The listener may be added at any point, whether the loadable resource has already completed loading or not.
- For resources that are not loaded when the listener is added (LoadStatus is NOT_LOADED or LOADING): When the resource completes loading, the listener will be invoked on the UI thread if it is added from the UI thread, otherwise it is not guaranteed on which thread the listener is invoked.
- For resources that are already loaded when the listener is added (LoadStatus is LOADED or FAILED_TO_LOAD): The listener will be called immediately, on the current thread.
Alternatively, to be notified when there is any change in the load status, add a listener to the
Loadable.loadStatusProperty()
instead.- Specified by:
addDoneLoadingListener
in interfaceLoadable
- Parameters:
listener
- a Runnable that is invoked upon completion of the load operation
-
removeDoneLoadingListener
Description copied from interface:Loadable
Removes a done loading listener from the loadable resource.- Specified by:
removeDoneLoadingListener
in interfaceLoadable
- Parameters:
listener
- the listener to be removed- Returns:
- true if the listener was removed, otherwise false
-
addLoadStatusChangedListener
Description copied from interface:Loadable
Adds aLoadStatusChangedListener
to the loadable resource that is invoked whenever the load status changes.Adding this listener on the UI thread will cause it to be invoked on the UI thread, otherwise it is not guaranteed on which thread the listener is invoked.
The listener will not be called if added to a loadable resource that has already completed loading. To be notified when a loadable resource has completed loading, including if the resource is already loaded when the listener is added, use the
Loadable.addDoneLoadingListener(Runnable)
method.- Specified by:
addLoadStatusChangedListener
in interfaceLoadable
- Parameters:
listener
- theLoadStatusChangedListener
to be added
-
removeLoadStatusChangedListener
Description copied from interface:Loadable
Removes aLoadStatusChangedListener
from the loadable resource.- Specified by:
removeLoadStatusChangedListener
in interfaceLoadable
- Parameters:
listener
- theLoadStatusChangedListener
to be removed- Returns:
- true if the listener was removed, otherwise false
