Set initial map area

View inJavaKotlinView on GitHubSample viewer app

Display the map at an initial viewpoint representing a bounding geometry.

Image of map initial extent

Use case

Setting the initial viewpoint is useful when a user wishes to first load the map at a particular area of interest.

How to use the sample

When the sample loads, note that the map is opened at the initial view point set.

How it works

  1. Instantiate an ArcGISMap object.
  2. Instantiate a Viewpoint object using an Envelope object.
  3. Set the starting location of the map with setInitialViewpoint(Viewpoint).
  4. Set the map to a MapView object.
