Specify a map's spatial reference.
      
  
    
Use case
Choosing the correct spatial reference is important for ensuring accurate projection of data points to a map.
How to use the sample
Pan and zoom around the map. Observe how the map is displayed using the World Bonne spatial reference.
How it works
- Instantiate an 
ArcGISMapobject using a spatial reference e.g.ArcGISMap(SpatialReference.create(54024)). - Instantiate a 
Basemapobject using anArcGISMapImageLayerobject. - Set the base map to the map.
 - Set the map to a 
MapViewobject. 
The ArcGIS map image layer will now use the spatial reference set to the ArcGIS map (World Bonne (WKID: 54024)) and not its default spatial reference.
Relevant API
- ArcGISMap
 - ArcGISMapImageLayer
 - Basemap
 - MapView
 - SpatialReference
 
Additional information
Operational layers will automatically project to this spatial reference when possible.
