ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Samples

Overview

The repo contains Qt projects for each sample that can be run from within the Qt Creator IDE. It also contians source code to build and run the C++ and QML sample viewer apps locally.

Prerequisites
Set up the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt samples repo locally
Open a sample project file in Qt Creator
Build and run the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Sample Viewers locally
Use a previous version
Use offline data in the samples

Prerequisites

Qt SDK 6.5.1 or higher (Open source or commercial)
Qt Creator
An ArcGIS Developer API key
ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Toolkit is required as some samples utilize toolkit components.
For more information, please visit the System Requirements page.

Set up the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt samples repo locally

Fork the repo

If you haven't already, fork the repo.

Clone the repo

How to clone a forked repository

Clone the sample code repo

Open your terminal, navigate to your working directory, use git clone to get a copy of the repo.

# Clone your fork of the repository into the current directory in terminal
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git

Clone the toolkit repo

Change directory into your locally cloned samples repo and then use git clone to get a copy of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Toolkit.

# Change directory to the clone of the samples repository
# Clone the toolkit repository into the current directory in terminal
cd /arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt
git clone https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-toolkit-qt.git

Cloning the toolkit in this location will allow for the samples to automatically pick it up. If you wish to place the toolkit in another location, you will need to update the samples project file accordingly to locate the necessary .pri file.

Configure remote upstream for your fork

To sync changes you make in a fork with this repository, you must configure a remote that points to the upstream repository in Git.

Open a terminal (Mac users) or command prompt (Windows & Linux users)
List the current configured remote repository for your fork

$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (push)

Specify a new remote upstream repository

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git

Verify the new upstream repository

$ git remote -v

origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt.git (push)

Sync your fork

Once you have set up a remote upstream you can keep your fork up to date with our samples repository by syncing your fork.

Open a terminal (Mac users) or command prompt (Windows & Linux users)
Change to the current working directory of your local repository
Fetch the branches and commits from the upstream repository. Commits to main will be stored in a local branch, upstream/main.

git fetch upstream

Check out your forks local main branch

git checkout main

Merge changes from upstream/main into your local main branch which syncs your forks main branch with our samples repository.

git merge upstream/main

Open a sample project file in Qt Creator

Start Qt Creator. When the IDE opens to the Welcome screen, click on the Open Project button and browse to a project file (.pro) within your forked repo location. Configure the project, set your ArcGIS Developer API key in main.cpp, and run the sample.

Build and run the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Sample Viewers locally

Start Qt Creator. When the IDE opens to the Welcome screen, click on the Open Project button and browse to either sample viewer's project file (.pro) within your forked repo location. The sample viewer project files are located at arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt\ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_SampleViewers\, in either ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_CppSamples or ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_QMLSamples. Configure the project, set your ArcGIS Developer API key in ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_Samples\SampleManager.cpp, and run the sample.

NOTE: the sample viewer project files search for the toolkit.pri at the default location specified above. If you cloned the toolkit repo to a different location, you will need to update the path in the respective sample viewer's project file.

Use a previous version

The main branch contains samples for the current, most up-to-date version of ArcGIS Maps SDK. To access previous versions, you can checkout by a tag or commit, or alternativley you can download the source zip: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-samples-qt/releases.

Use offline data in the samples

Some of the samples consume offline data, including TPKs, VTPKs, mobile geodatabases, and mobile map packages, among other data formats. If the sample does consume offline data, the sample's associated readme.md will note where you can download the data (from ArcGIS Online), and where the data can be placed once downloaded. For example, it may say something like:

Link	Local Location
Los Angeles Vector Tile Package	`<userhome>`/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data/vtpk/LosAngeles.vtpk

In this case, you would download the VTPK from the ArcGIS Online Location, and place it in a specified location. This location is the path returned by QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::HomeLocation) from the Qt QStandardPaths class. <userhome> is used throughout to denote a generic location on the different platforms. The below table specifies where this is on all of the supported platforms:

Platform	Userhome Location	Example Location
Windows	`%userprofile%`	`C:\Users\Bob\ArcGIS\Runtime\Data`
Linux	`~`	`/users/bob/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data`
Mac OS X	`~`	`/Users/Bob/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data`
Android	`<APPROOT>/files`	`<APPROOT>/files/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data`
iOS	`<your app bundle>`	`<appbundle>/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data`
