Display a scene

Learn how to create and display a scene with a basemap layer and an elevation layer. Set properties of the scene's camera to control the 3D perspective.

image

Like a map, a scene contains layers of geographic data. It contains a basemap layer and, optionally, one or more data layers. To provide a realistic view of the terrain, you can also add elevation layers to define the height of the surface across the scene. The 3D perspective of the scene is controlled by the scene's camera, which defines the position of the scene observer in 3D space.

In this tutorial, you create and display a scene using the imagery basemap layer. The surface of the scene is defined with an elevation layer and the camera is positioned to display an area of the Santa Monica Mountains in the scene view.

The scene and code will be used as the starting point for other 3D tutorials.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial:

  1. You need an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

  2. Confirm that your system meets the system requirements.

  3. An IDE for Android development in Kotlin.

Steps

Create a new Android Studio project

Use Android Studio to create an app and configure it to reference the API.

  1. Open Android Studio.

    • In the menu bar, click File > New > New Project....
    • In the Create New Project window, make sure Phone and Tablet tab is selected, and then select Empty Activity. Click Next.
    • In the Configure your project window, set the following configuration options:
      • Name: Display a scene.
      • Package name: Change to com.example.app. Or change to match your organization.
      • Save location: Set to a new folder.
      • Language: Kotlin
      • Minimum SDK: API 23: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
  2. In the Project tool window, make sure that your current view is Android. These tutorial instructions refer to that view.

  3. From the Project tool window, open Gradle Scripts > build.gradle (Project: Display_a_scene). Replace the contents of the file with the following code:

    build.gradle (Project: Display_a_scene)
    Use dark colors for code blocks

        id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.1' apply false

    }
    
    task clean(type: Delete) {
        delete rootProject.buildDir
    }
  4. From the Project tool window, open Gradle Scripts > build.gradle (Module: Display_a_scene.app). Replace the contents of the file with the following code:

    build.gradle (Module: Display_a_scene.app)
    Use dark colors for code blocks

Add a UI for the scene view

A scene view is a UI component that displays a scene. It also handles user interactions with the scene, including navigating with touch gestures. Use XML to add a scene view to the UI and make it available to the main activity source code.

  1. In app > res > layout > activity_main.xml, replace the entire TextView element with a SceneView element.

    activity_main.xml

Add a scene

Use the scene view to display a scene centered on the Santa Monica Mountains in California. The scene will contain a imagery basemap layer.

  1. In MainActivity.kt, add a new setupScene() method in your MainActivity class and create an ArcGISScene with an imagery basemap.

Get an access token

You need an access token to use the location services used in this tutorial.

  1. Go to the Create an API key tutorial to obtain an access token using your ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

  2. Ensure that the following privilege is enabled: Location services > Basemaps > Basemap styles service.

  3. Copy the access token as it will be used in the next step.

To learn more about other ways to get an access token, go to Types of authentication.

Set your API key

  1. Create the setApiKeyForApp() method, in which you set the apiKey property on the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment using the access token. Paste your access token inside the quotes, replacing YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN.
