Display a map from a mobile map package

Learn how to display a map from a mobile map package (.mmpk file) when you're offline.

In this tutorial you use the MobileMapPackage class to access the .mmpk file, MahouRivieraTrails.mmpk, and load it to read its contents. The map within the mobile map package contains a basemap layer and data layers and does not require a network connection.

Prerequisites

Steps

Open a Java project

1. To start this tutorial, complete the Display a map tutorial, or download and unzip the Display a map solution into a new folder.

2. Open the build.gradle file as a project in IntelliJ IDEA.

3. If you downloaded the solution project, set your API key.

   More info

   An API Key enables access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

   1. 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.

   2. In the IntelliJ IDEA's Project tool window, open src/main/java/com.example.app and double-click App.

   3. In the start() method, set the API key property on the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment with your API key. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API Key. Be sure to surround your API Key with quotes, because the parameter passed to setApiKey is a string.

Specify a location for the .mmpk file

1. Make note of where the mobile map package (MahouRivieraTrails.mmpk) is. It's at the top level of the solution referenced in the Open a Java project step above.

2. Copy the .mmpk file onto a location you choose, then point your app to it as you would any file. For example, you can use Java's System.setProperty() to specify a new system property whose value is the directory where you placed the .mmpk file, and then call System.getProperty() with that property name to get the path to the file. The following code shows how to use the existing system property user.dir key, which points to the project's root directory.

After getting the path to your .mmpk file, create a MobileMapPackage and assign it to the mobileMapPackage variable. Also surround your code with a Java try statement, which will be later followed by a catch that prints a standard stack trace.

Load the .mmpk file and display its map

1. The following code shows how to load the .mmpk file to get a list of its maps and then select the map you want to display. It also adds the try statement's closing catch statement.

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, double-click run.

You should see a map of trail heads, trails, and parks for the area south of the Santa Monica mountains. You can zoom, rotate, drag, and double-tap the map view to explore the map.
