ATTENTION:


QuickCapture Esri Labs is graduating into a fully supported ArcGIS product. ArcGIS QuickCapture is planned to be released on June 25, 2019 and its Esri Labs version will be retired a that time.

If you are new to ArcGIS QuickCapture and are looking for information into how to configure the app, we strongly recommend you start with the official ArcGIS QuickCapture app in our Esri Early Adopter Program at: https://earlyadopter.esri.com/key/ArcGISQuickCapture

If you are already using ArcGIS QuickCapture Esri Labs, you will also find detailed information in the Early Adopter Site about how to migrate your existing projects from ArcGIS QuickCapture Esri Labs to ArcGIS QuickCapture.


The following steps describe how you can extract local QuickCapture data from your device. All QuickCapture data is stored in a plain SQLLite database (geometries and attributes) plus a folder for your attachments. You can use SQLLite tools to browse the content of your data files.

Data Recovery for Android

  1. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with your device.

  3. Copy the SQLite database to a location on the PC ready for viewing.
