Hello,

Is it possible to load shapefiles from local storage in Xamarin Forms sfMaps? I tried both a local path "/data/..." as well as a file Uri "file:///data/..." on Android, however both was not working and gave me a "Java IO Path not found" exception. Any thoughts?

Many thanks,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Greetings from Syncfusion!

We have the support to load the shape file as stream. Hence, you can achieve your requirement by converting the accessed shape file (from your device location) to stream and load to maps using ReadAsStream() method.

Please refer the below code snippet for loading shape files as stream.

// Load Shape file only

ShapeLayer.ReadAsStream(stream);

// Load Shape file and dbf file

ShapeLayer.ReadAsStream(shstream, dbstream);

We have prepared the sample to load the shape file from the application. Please find the sample from the following location.

Sample link: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/Maps-1442848209.zip

Note: We need to convert the loaded shape file into stream and then load stream into maps.

Thanks,

Bharathiraja.
