Use case
For displaying web maps stored on ArcGIS Online.
How to use the sample
A web map can be selected from the drop-down list. On selection the web map displays in the map view.
How it works
- Create a
Portal
from the ArcGIS URL http://www.arcgis.com. - Create a
PortalItem
using the Portal and the web map ID:new PortalItem(portal, ID)
. - Create a
Map
using the portal item. - Set the map to the
MapView
.
Relevant API
- Map
- MapView
- Portal
- PortalItem
