Graphics

ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET uses OpenGL ES technology on Android to render 2D map views and 3D scene views. Rendering in a map view uses OpenGL ES 3.0 or above if available on the device. Otherwise it uses OpenGL ES 2.0 or above. Rendering in a scene view requires OpenGL ES 3.2.

You may need to configure graphics acceleration when using an Android emulator. For more information, see the document Configure hardware acceleration for the Android Emulator.
