public final class BingMapsLayer extends ServiceImageTiledLayer
A layer that can visualize data from a Bing Maps web service.

A Bing maps layer displays map content from a Bing Maps web service, providing access to static map tiles and imagery meta-data. Map style and culture can be customized prior to loading the layer.

Functional characteristics

Bing maps require an API key from Microsoft. There are two ways to set this key:

A Bing maps layer will fail to load if it does not have a Bing map key or a Portal from where it can get the Bing map key. In this situation, you can set the getKey() and call Loadable.retryLoadAsync(). To use the BingMapsLayer you must adhere to Microsoft's Mobile Brand Guidelines.

Bing maps layers do not support identify, query, selection, or time.

Performance characteristics

Bing maps layers perform similarly to other tiled layers. Raster tiles are fetched from Bing's servers on demand.

Example for working with Bing Maps layer 

 BingMapsLayer bingMapsLayer = new BingMapsLayer(Style.AERIAL, <bing-maps-key>");
 
 bingMapsLayer.addDoneLoadingListener(new Runnable() {
   public void run() {
     if (bingMapsLayer.getLoadStatus() == LoadStatus.LOADED) {
       // work with bingMapsLayer here
     }
   }
 });
 
 map.getOperationalLayers().add(bingMapsLayer);
The layer is loaded when displayed in a MapView or a SceneView; if using the layer without a MapView or a SceneView, call the Layer.loadAsync() method. Use the layer done loading event to determine when the layer is ready, and check the load status before using the layer; see Layer.addDoneLoadingListener(Runnable) and Layer.getLoadStatus().

  • Method Details Link icon

    • getCulture Link icon

      public String getCulture()
      The culture for this Bing maps layer.

      Culture determines the language used for labels in this layer. English (en-US) is used by default. For a list of all available options, see Supported Culture Codes.

      The value of getCulture() cannot be changed after the layer loads.

      Attempting to set the value to null will throw a NullPointerException exception.

      Returns:
      the culture that was set, or "en-US" if not set or was set to an invalid value
      Since:
      100.1.0

    • setCulture Link icon

      public void setCulture(String culture)
      Sets the culture.

      This determines the language that is used to display text. If the culture is not set or is set to an invalid value, then "en-US" is used.

      See Supported Culture Codes for a list of valid culture codes.

      This should be called before loading the layer.

      Parameters:
      culture - the culture to set
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if culture is null or empty
      ArcGISRuntimeException - if set after the layer has loaded
