25 July 2012 Customizing ArcPad solutions Marika Vertzonis, Gareth Walters, Stephen Quan
Session Outline • What can be customized? • Custom Projects • Forms Editing • Toolbar editing • Scripting Business Logic • Shortcut Apps • Harnessing SQL • Extending beyond ArcPad • Geoprocessing
Do I need to be a programmer? Full on code jockey * NO! * But sometimes it Helps Increasing Skill No programmingskills required Scripted Forms & Applets Simple Toolbars, Basic data capture forms, Symbology Extensions
Where do your customizations go? • “My ArcPad” folder • “per user” on desktop systems • “per device” on Windows Mobile systems • Preferences and configuration files • “ArcPad” folder • Common to all users on desktop systems • Templates • Applets • Styles • Datum configuration • Your project folder(s) • Could hold all files - App • Good for deployment
Custom Projects • Configuration • Forms • Toolbars • Preferences • Shortcut Apps • Incorporation of business logic • Data • Definition Queries + + Customizations Map Shortcut Deploy
Forms • Edit: • Feature & Related Tables • Used for data capture and edit • Identify • Used when identifying features. • If not present uses Edit form in read-only mode • Query • Added to Find dialog • Search template, just fill in the boxes • “Other” • Application specific forms
Toolbars • System • QuickCapture • Dynamic Editing • Map Navigator • Status Bar • Custom
Preferences & Configuration • Application • Project • User
App Shortcuts • Start ArcPad with a range of command line options and parameters (.LNK) • On Windows Mobile :- • \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ArcPad App • App Icon (.ICO) extracted and saved in project folder with same name as map
Business Logic • Embed in ArcGIS GeoDatabase • Domains & Subtypes • Extend via Scripting • Data Validation
Data • Background - Not editable • Reference • Information Only (Vectors) • Read Only • For visual reference only (Raster or Vector) • Operational • Editable • focused on field task (not ALL available data) • Demo Theater Session: Preparing & Deploying data to ArcPad
Scripting environments available for ArcPad • JavaScript, VBScript & Python • Event Driven • Application • Forms/Controls • System Objects (eg GPS) • ArcPad Object Model • Execute SQL Commands
ArcGIS Online Help • Check out the new Python samples here
SQL • Definition Queries • Query Forms • Use standard SQL to edit/maintain data • SELECT • UPDATE • DELETE
Definition Queries • ArcMap • ArcPad • Studio • Dynamically via Layers.Filter() MATERIAL = ‘Al’
Query Forms • Query forms are search “templates” that automatically get added to the “Find” dialog • Default query form automatically created for each feature class • Useful for simplifying field work flows requiring repeatedly performed searches
SQL editing • DataSource object’s Execute method allows any SQL statement to be run against the AXF file • Bulk Updates • Bulk Deletes • Statistical queries (Aggregate functions) • Sort records • Copy data between tables • Much faster than iterating with RecordSet object
SQL Demo Bulk Edits
Extensions Camera Rangefinder Vector / Raster Datum Transform GPS Projection ArcPad
Camera Extensions • Custom Image Sources • Camera SDK Sketch Direct Show VFW Camera ArcPad
Extending Scripting with Extensions • Extensions("@SKT").Escape(filename, quality, hwnd)
Geoprocessing • Data management • Automation
The Road Ahead • ArcPad 10.1 • Release in the Fall • Support for ArcGIS Server 10.1 • Further integration with ArcGIS Online • HTML forms with JavaScript • Form customization in ArcPad • Beyond ArcPad 10.1 • Core ArcPad functionality on iOS, Android, WP7, WP8 • HTML forms • Unmanaged data collection • Related table support
