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 menu bar, click File > New > New Project....
   • In the Create New Project window, make sure Phone and Tablet tab is selected, and then select Empty Activity. Click Next.
   More info

   Gradle is the default build tool in Android Studio. If you are unable to use Gradle, see Getting the API Manually.

   • In the Configure your project window, set the following configuration options:
     • Name: Display a scene.
     • Package name: Change to com.example.app. Or change to match your organization.
     • Save location: Set to a new folder.
     • Language: Kotlin
     • Minimum SDK: API 23: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

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 (Project: Display_a_scene). Replace the contents of the file with the following code:

   build.gradle (Project: Display_a_scene)

   Use dark colors for code blocks

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 network access, and also to indicate the app uses OpenGL 2.0 or above.

   More info

   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.

Add a UI for the scene view

A scene view is a UI component that displays a scene. It also handles user interactions with the scene, including navigating with touch gestures. Use XML to add a scene view to the UI and make it available to the main activity source code.

1. In app > res > layout > activity_main.xml, replace the entire TextView element with a SceneView element.

   More info

   If you do not see the XML code, select the Code tab to switch out of design mode and display the XML code in the editor.

   Your SceneView element creates an instance of the SceneView class from the ArcGIS Runtime API for Android.

   In your main activity source code, you can access the SceneView using an implicit property, which is declared in the value of the android:id attribute. In this case, the property will be named sceneView.

   activity_main.xml

5. Create a Point for the camera and assign it to cameraLocation. Then create a Camera, passing the cameraLocation and values for the camera's heading, pitch, and roll.

   More info

   The position from which you view the scene is defined by a Camera. The following properties of the camera are used to define an observation point in the scene:

   • 3D location: Latitude, longitude, and altitude
   • Heading: Azimuth of the camera's direction
   • Pitch: Up and down angle
   • Roll: Side-to-side angle

8. Override the Android lifecyle methods onPause(), onResume(), and onDestroy() to pause, resume and dispose of the sceneView.

   More info

   The sceneView needs to know when your app goes to the background or is restored from background in order to properly manage the view. When the view is no longer needed, its resources should be released by calling dispose() on sceneView.

   You can place these methods anywhere inside your MainActivity class definition.

Set your API key

An API key is required to enable access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

If you haven't already, go to your developer dashboard to get your API key. For these tutorials, use your default API key. It is scoped to include all of the services demonstrated in the tutorials.

1. Before running your app, create the setAPIKeyForApp() method, where you set the apiKey property on the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment using the API Key.

3. Click Run > Run > app to run the app.

   More info

   The Android Emulator should display and run your app in the Android Virtual Devcie (AVD) selected in the Android Studio toolbar:

   

   If your app builds but no AVD displays, you need to add one. Click Tools > AVD Manager > Create Virtual Device...

You should see a scene with the imagery basemap layer centered on the Santa Monica Mountains in California. Pinch, drag, and double-tap the scene view to explore the scene.
