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

As the application is loading, the initial view point is set and the map view opens at the given location.

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 map.initialViewpoint = viewpoint.
  4. Set the map to a MapView object.
