public final class ArcGISTiledLayer extends ImageTiledLayer implements RemoteResource, ApiKeyResource
A layer that can visualize data from an ArcGIS map service or a local TileCache by using previously generated tiles.

ArcGIS tiled layers consume image tiles provided by an ArcGIS map service or a local tile package. Raster tiles are cached at various scales when the map service is created. This API requests the tiles needed at a particular map extent. ArcGISTiledLayer will display data from an ArcGIS MapServer if "Single Fused Map Cache" is set to true in its ArcGIS REST Services Directory.

You can use the ExportTileCacheTask class to generate and download tiles from the service, creating a tile package (.tpk/.tpkx) for use locally on the device. Alternatively, you can use ArcGIS Pro to create a map tile package and provision it to the device.

Functional characteristics

ArcGIS tiled layers do not support re-projection, query, select, identify, or editing.

Performance characteristics

Tiled image layers (those that derive functionality from the ImageTiledLayer class) provide fast display of geographic imagery stored in raster files. These rasters typically contain image data acquired from satellite, aircraft, or drones. The resolution of such imagery can be very high, providing a detailed view. With increased resolution comes increased file sizes and potentially slower performance.

Raster tiling is a process that resamples the pixel size at different scales to create images with the appropriate resolution for each scale. The tiling process creates level-of-detail pyramids to efficiently manage how much detail you see as you zoom in and out on the map. Typically, as you zoom closer to the Earth's surface, you want to see greater detail of the geographic information. Tiled image layers allow you to see just the information you need very quickly based on the level-of-detail pyramid at a particular scale, rather than having to load a single large image at once.

Tiles are generated by the server when the service is created. Requests for tiles are made on multiple threads and handled asynchronously. The size of each returned tile increases as the resolution or complexity of the image in the tile increases. For example, high-resolution imagery tiles can be result in larger file sizes than topographic mapping for the same area and map extent.

    • getApiKey Link icon

      public String getApiKey()
      Description copied from interface: ApiKeyResource
      Gets the API key to access API key enabled services and resources in ArcGIS Online.

      An API key is a unique long-lived access token that is used to authenticate and monitor requests to ArcGIS location services and private portal items. You can create and manage an API key using your portal when you sign in with an ArcGIS Location Platform account or an ArcGIS Online account with administrator access or a custom role that has the Generate API keys privilege. To learn how to create and manage API keys, go to the Create an API Key tutorial. You must ensure that your API key has the correct privileges to access secure resources.

      In addition to setting an API key at a global level for your application using ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.setApiKey(String), you can call ApiKeyResource.setApiKey(String) on any class that implements ApiKeyResource. When you call setApiKey(String) on an APIKeyResource, it will override the default key at the global level (the key returned by ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.getApiKey(), in other words), enabling more granular usage telemetry and management for ArcGIS Online resources used by your app.

      Classes that expose an API key property by implementing APIKeyResource include:

      Specified by:
      getApiKey in interface ApiKeyResource
      Returns:
      the API key to access API key enabled services and resources in ArcGIS Online

    • setApiKey Link icon

      public void setApiKey(String apiKey)
      Description copied from interface: ApiKeyResource
      Sets the API key to access API key enabled services and resources in ArcGIS Online.

      An API key is a unique key used to authorize access to specific services and resources in ArcGIS Online. It is also used to monitor access to those services. An API key is created and managed in the ArcGIS developer dashboard and is tied to a specific ArcGIS account.

      In addition to setting an API key at a global level for your application using ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.setApiKey(String), you can call setApiKey(String) on any class that implements ApiKeyResource. When you call setApiKey(String) on an APIKeyResource, it will override the default key at the global level (the key returned by ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.getApiKey(), in other words), enabling more granular usage telemetry and management for ArcGIS Online resources used by your app.
