Display a map

Learn how to create and display a map with a basemap layer.

A map contains layers of geographic data. A map contains a basemap layer and, optionally, one or more data layers. You can display a specific area of a map by using a map view and setting the location and zoom level.

In this tutorial, you create and display a map of the Santa Monica Mountains in California using the topographic basemap layer.

The map and code will be used as the starting point for other 2D tutorials.

Prerequisites

Steps

Create a new Java project with Gradle

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA.

   • In the menu bar, click File > New > Project.

   • In the New Project window, select Gradle from the list on the left and click Next.

   • In the next window, enter a name for your new project and choose a location to save it.

2. In the project, replace the contents of the build.gradle file with the following script to configure your app and reference the API. Make sure that you import the Gradle changes once you have replaced the contents.

   build.gradle

       }
   }
   
   configurations {

   }
   
   dependencies {
       implementation "com.esri.arcgisruntime:arcgis-java:$arcgisVersion"

               "project build directory for development."
       group = "build"

           from(zipTree(it))
       }
       // store native libraries in a common location shared with other samples
       into "${System.properties.getProperty("user.home")}/.arcgis/$arcgisVersion"
   }
   
   run {
       dependsOn copyNatives
       mainClassName = 'com.example.app.App'
   }
   
   wrapper {
       gradleVersion = '6.5.1'
   }
   

3. Click View > Tool Windows > Gradle to open the Gradle view, then in Tasks > build, double-click copyNatives. This unpacks the native library dependencies to $USER_HOME/.arcgis.

   More info

   You can also run Gradle tasks via the command line. Consult Gradle's documentation to learn how this is done.

4. In the Project tool window, under src/main, right-click the Java folder, and click New > Package.

5. Name the package com.example.app.

6. Right-click this package and click New > Java class.

7. Name the class App.java.

Add import statements

In App.Java, add import statements to reference the ArcGIS Runtime API and JavaFX classes.

Add a UI for the map view

A map view is a UI component that displays a map. It also handles user interactions with the map. Use JavaFX to add a map view to the UI.

1. In App.Java, create a new public class named App that extends the JavaFX Application class.

   • Add a member variable for a MapView and a main() method.

     The main() method constructs an instance of the Application on the JavaFX Application Thread.

     More info

     The mapView member variable allows you to easily reference your MapView from other parts of the application.

   • In the start() method, configure the JavaFX Stage with a title and dimensions, and then show it.

     More info

     Note that the start method is abstract and must be overridden. It takes a single parameter of the JavaFX type Stage.

   • Create a JavaFX StackPane, and use it to create a JavaFX Scene. Then set the scene on the stage.

3. Center the mapView at a specific point and scale on the Earth by setting a Viewpoint to it.

   • Provide latitude and longitude coordinates, and a scale value as parameters to a new Viewpoint, and set it to the mapView with setViewpoint().
   More info

   The Viewpoint constructor used in this tutorial takes a scale parameter. The scale value 144447.638572 is converted from zoom level 12. Zoom levels are often used as a shorthand for predetermined scale values in Web Mercator maps. Learn more in Zoom levels and scale.

Set your API key

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 the ArcGIS Java API code, set the API key property on the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment with your API key.

2. Run the app.

   Ensure to run the app as a Gradle task and not as an application in your IDE. In the Gradle tool window, under Tasks > application, click run.

You should see a map with the topographic basemap layer centered on the Santa Monica Mountains in California. Click, drag, and scroll the mouse wheel on the map view to explore the map.

Stop the app

To ensure that ArcGIS Runtime API resources used in the application are released when it is closed, override the JavaFX stop method and call dispose() on the mapView:
