New to GitHub
GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that uses an open source revision control system called Git. For an introduction to Git and how it compares with other version control systems, see Git basics.

Sample Viewer application
The Android sample viewer is available on the Google Play store and requires Android 6.0 (API level 23).
The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android sample viewer illustrates the functionality available using ArcGIS Runtime API for Android in your Android applications. Each sample consists of a live sample, a brief description, and source code tabs (showing both Java and Kotlin code, where available). If you find functionality that's useful for your app while running the sample viewer, you can copy and paste relevant code into your project and update it as needed.
Code samples documentation
To use the samples on this page (on this SDK website), select a category on the left and click a sample title to view or copy the full sample's code or to view the sample's description. Use the platform switcher at the top of the page to view code specific to your preferred language (Java or Kotlin). You can copy and paste the code directly into your project or click the View in GitHub button at the top of each sample page to navigate directly to the sample in GitHub.
