The new DrawStatusChanged event on the ArcGISView enables you to track the drawing status of a view, indicating whether the content is currently being drawn (InProgress) or if the drawing process is complete (Completed). This status can change during actions like zooming, panning, or any other activity that triggers a redraw of the map. To showcase this functionality, the DisplayDrawStatus sample is included as a plugin sample, demonstrating how to subscribe to the draw status changed event to show a loading spinner while layers in the map are being drawn.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2601822,"id":2601822,"title":"DrawStatusUnrealEngine","filename":"SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","filesize":5703190,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/unreal-engine\/developers\/announcing-arcgis-maps-sdk-1-7-for-unreal-engine\/spinnerue800x450pan","alt":"","author":"5171","description":"","caption":"Using the new map view draw status events to display a loading indicator (lower right corner of image).","name":"spinnerue800x450pan","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2597782,"date":"2024-11-25 13:07:53","modified":"2024-11-25 13:56:37","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":800,"height":450,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","large-width":800,"large-height":450,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","1536x1536-width":800,"1536x1536-height":450,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","2048x2048-width":800,"2048x2048-height":450,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","card_image-width":800,"card_image-height":450,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SpinnerUE800x450Pan.gif","wide_image-width":800,"wide_image-height":450}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
The new AttributionText property on the ArcGISView provides access to a unified string that combines the attribution text for the layer data currently displayed within the map view.

Included in the SDK is a component that showcases this functionality by displaying the attribution text in a banner positioned along the bottom edge of the view, adjacent to the “Powered by Esri” text, which is required for all applications utilizing Esri technology.
