How can I perform multiple operations in a single applyEdits?

Question

I want to perform update and delete operation in a single applyEdits() call from my android application, my code is as below:

Thread.sleep(300);
layer.applyEdits(null, deletes, updates, new CallbackListener<FeatureEditResult[][]>() {
...
});

I am able to perform the desired operation only before applying a certain sleep interval, if not, the deletes array gets passed as empty, and therefore, the delete and update operations does not take place in a single transaction.

Please provide your inputs.

What if you call deleteFeaturesAsync() and then updateFeaturesAsync() when you get the callback? Does it have to be in the same operation? Two asynchronous calls may work better.

I'm a little rusty on Android/Java, but maybe something like (I cannot test right now):

public ListenableFuture<Feature>deletesFuture = layer.deleteFeaturesAsync(deletes);

// add done listener
deletesFuture.addDoneListener(new Runnable() {
   @Override
   public void run() {
    try {
     // now try doing the updates
     public LisenableFuture<Feature>updatesFuture = layer.updateFeaturesAsync(updates) // updates is a global var

     // add yet another event listener on the update features if you want
     updatesFuture.addDoneListener(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
        try {
         // do stuff when updates have been added
        } catch (Exception e) {
         Log.e(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name), "updating features failed: " + e.getMessage());
        }
       }
      }
     } catch (Exception e) {
      Log.e(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name), "deleting features failed: " + e.getMessage());
     }
    }
   }

If you haven't done so already, you should check out the ArcGIS Runtime Samples for Android on GitHub.
