Create and save map
Create and save a map as a web map item to an ArcGIS portal.
Use case
Maps can be created programmatically in code and then serialized and saved as an ArcGIS portal item. In this case, the portal item is a web map which can be shared with others and opened in various applications and APIs throughout the platform, such as ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, the JavaScript API, Collector, and Explorer.
How to use the sample
When you run the sample, you will be challenged for an ArcGIS Online login. Enter a username and password for an ArcGIS Online named user account (such as your ArcGIS for Developers account). Then, choose the basemap and layers for your new map. To save the map, add a title, tags, description (optional), and a folder on your portal (you will need to create one in your portal's My Content section if you don't already have one). Tap the Save button to save the map to the chosen folder.
How it works
- Set a
DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler
to the app'sAuthenticationManager
. - Create a new
Portal
and load it to invoke the authentication challenge. - Access the
PortalUserContent
withportal.getUser().fetchContentAsync().get()
, to get the user's list of portal folders withportalUserContent.getFolders()
. - Create an
ArcGISMap
with aBasemapStyle
and a few operational layers. - Call
map.saveMapAsAsync()
to save a newArcGISMap
with the specified title, tags, and folder to the portal.
Relevant API
- ArcGISMap
- Portal
Additional information
In this sample, an API key is set directly on Basemap
objects rather than on the whole app using the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment
class. This is useful in a scenario where an individual developer is part of an organization within ArcGIS Online that uses an API key to access a range of BasemapStyle
s. In the case that an individual member of the organization wants to save a map locally to their account, and not that of the organization, they can set the organization's API key on the basemap, and log in to their own account when challenged. The individual can then save the final map to their own ArcGIS Online account.
