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.

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

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 Welcome to Android Studio window, click New Project.

     Or if you already have Android Studio opened, click File > New > New Project in the menu bar.

   • In the New Project window, make sure Phone and Tablet tab is selected, and then select Empty Activity. Click Next.

   • In the next window, set the following options and then click Finish.

     • Name: Display a scene.
     • Package name: Change to com.example.app. Or change to match your organization.
     • Save location: Set to a new folder.
     • Minimum SDK: API 26 ("Oreo"; Android 8.0)
     • Build configuration language: Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts)

2. In the Project tool window, make sure that your current view is Android. These tutorial instructions refer to that view.

   More info

   If your view name is something other than Android (such as Project or Packages), click on the leftmost control in the title bar of the Project tool window, and select Android from the list.

   

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

   build.gradle.kts (Project: Display_a_scene)

   Use dark colors for code blocks

       id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.9.10" apply false
   }

4. From the Project tool window, open Gradle Scripts > build.gradle.kts (Module :app). Replace the contents of the file with the expanded code below:

6. Sync the Gradle changes. Click the Sync now prompt or click the refresh icon (Sync Project with Gradle Files) in the toolbar. This may take several minutes.

7. From the Project tool window, open app > manifests > AndroidManifest.xml. Update the Android manifest to allow internet access.

   Insert these new elements within the manifest element. Do not alter or remove any other statements.

   Depending on what ArcGIS functionality you add in future tutorials, it is likely you will need to add additional permissions to your manifest.

Create a scene

1. From the Project tool window, right click on app > kotlin+java > com.example.app, select New > package from the list. Enter com.example.app.screens as the package name. Hit Enter on your keyboard. This step creates a new package that will contain all the UI files.

2. Right click on the screens package you just created, select New > Kotlin Class/File from the list. In the pop-up window, select File and enter MainScreen as the file name. Hit Enter on your keyboard.

3. In MainScreen.kt, delete any lines of code that were inserted automatically by Android Studio. Then add the following OptIn annotation, package name, and imports.

4. You will start by creating a function named createScene().

   Inside that function, you will create an ArcGISScene, assign a base surface to it, and use the top-level composable function remember to retain state across recompositions.

   Then you will create a camera location and a Camera, use them to create a Viewpoint, and then assign the view point to the initialViewpoint property of the ArcGISScene.

   1. Create a top-level function named createScene() that returns an ArcGISScene.

   2. Create a new ArcGISTiledElevationSource. Then create a Surface and, inside the apply block for Surface, add the elevation source to the elevationSources property, and set the elevationExaggeration property to 2.5f, which increases the 3D effect of the elevation.

      More info

      An elevation source can define a surface with 3D terrain in a scene. Without an elevation source, the default globe surface is used to display the scene.

   4. Create an ArcGISScene with a BasemapStyle.ArcGISImagery. Then call apply() on the new ArcGISScene. The createScene() function returns this ArcGISScene.

An API Key enables access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

2. In the MainActivity class, create the setApiKey() method, where you set the ArcGISEnvironment.apiKey​ property by calling ApiKey.create() and passing your API key as a string. Don't forget the quotes.

   Connect your computer to your Android device, using USB or Wi-Fi. For more details, see How to connect your Android device.

   Android Emulator

   Create an AVD (Android Virtual Device) to run in the Android Emulator. For details, see Run apps on the Android Emulator.

   Selecting a device

   When you build and run an app in Android Studio, you must first select a device. From the Android Studio toolbar, you can access the drop-down list of your currently available devices, both virtual and physical.

   If you cannot access the list on the toolbar, click Tools > Device Manager.
