Map rotation

View inJavaKotlinView on GitHubSample viewer app

Rotate a map.

Image of map rotation

Use case

A user may wish to view the map in an orientation other than north-facing.

How to use the sample

Use the progress bar to rotate the map. If the map is not pointed north, the progress bar will show the heading relative to north in degrees. Slide the progress bar to zero to set the maps's heading back to north.

How it works

  1. Instantiate an ArcGISMap object.
  2. Set the map to a MapView object.
  3. Use setViewpointRotationAsync(...) to set the rotation angle.
