public final class Callout extends Control
A Callout typically displays text and image content from a GeoElement, such as a Feature. A callout is displayed on the GeoView at a given map coordinate. The callout is displayed with a leader (arrow) that points to the given location.

The callout can't be created directly, it must be retrieved from the view by calling GeoView.getCallout(). A GeoView has only one Callout. Call showCalloutAt(com.esri.arcgisruntime.geometry.Point) to display the Callout and dismiss() to hide it (this will clean up any internal resources, so prefer calling it over changing the visibility directly.)

A callout with default view looks like this:

typical looking callout

The following screenshot shows a callout with intentionally exaggerated properties that you would never see in a real-world application. The image does, however, label the main properties of a callout, and the table describes how to access and modify them.

Callout properties in screenshot labeled by number
Label Properties
1

Title - Short description of callout's purpose. See titleProperty(), titleColorProperty().

2

Detail - Detail text for the callout, which might be location-specific, as in both screenshots above. See detailProperty(), detailColorProperty().

3

Image - Optional image. See imageProperty().

Default View

The default view is a rectangular area composed of 1, 2, and 3 (title, detail, and image). The default view is assigned if you do not provide a custom view.

Custom View

You can provide a custom view, which covers the same area as the default view. See customViewProperty().

4

Margin - Empty space surrounding the custom or default view. See marginProperty().

5

Border - borderWidthProperty(), borderColorProperty().

6

Leader length - How much the point of the leader sticks out from the callout rectangle. (Dotted lines in the labeled screenshot are for illustration only. They do not appear on the actual callout.) See leaderLengthProperty().

7

Leader width - The leader's width can occupy most of the open side of the callout rectangle, as in the labeled screenshot, or a smaller portion of it, as in the default screenshot. (Dotted lines in the labeled screenshot are for illustration only. They do not appear on the actual callout.) See leaderWidthProperty().

8

Corner radius - In the default screenshot, the corner radius is the default of 10 device-independent pixels (dp). In the labeled screenshot, the corner radius is set to 1 dp, which appears as a right angle. See cornerRadiusProperty().

9

Callout location - Location on the map to which the callout is pointing. See showCalloutAt(Point), showCalloutAt(GeoElement, Point), showCalloutAt(Point, Duration), showCalloutAt(GeoElement, Point, Duration), or showCalloutAt(Point, Point2D, Duration).

Leader position - Side of the callout on which leader appears: TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, ANY. See leaderPositionProperty().

Background Color

You can set the background color of the callout. See backgroundColorProperty().

Styling

Callout can be styled using CSS. See the individual properties for details.

  • Styles can be applied inline, as below:
     geoView.getCallout().setStyle("border-width:20; border-color: red;");
     
  • Styles can be applied using a stylesheet, on the .callout class, as below:
     scene.getStylesheets().add("myCallout.css");
     
     Content of stylesheet (myCallout.css):
     
     .callout {
       auto-adjust-width: true;
       background-color: red;
       border-color: black;
       border-width: 10;
       corner-radius: 16;
       detail-color: white;
       image-uri: "file:///C://JavaRuntimeTestData//icons//globe-16x16.png";
       leader-length: 24;
       leader-position: top;
       leader-width: 24;
       margin: 16;
       title-color: yellow;
     }
