Display a layer from a Web Map Tile Service.
Use case
WMTS services can have several layers. You can use ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps to explore the layers available from a service. This would commonly be used to enable a browsing experience where users can choose which layers they want to display at run time.
How to use the sample
Pan and zoom to explore the WMTS layer, which is displayed automatically.
How it works
- Create a
WmtsService
using the URL of the WMTS Service. - After loading the WMTS service, get the list of
WmtsLayerInfos
from the service info:service.getServiceInfo().getLayerInfos()
- Create a new
WmtsLayer
from aWmtsLayerInfo
- Set it as the map's basemap with
map.setBasemap(new Basemap(wmtsLayer))
.
Relevant API
- WmtsLayer
- WmtsLayerInfo
- WmtsService
- WmtsServiceInfo
About the data
We acknowledge the use of imagery provided by services from the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), operated by the NASA/GSFC/Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) with funding provided by NASA/HQ. This sample shows the Digital Elevation Model (Color Index, SRTM) layer from the WMTS service provided by GIBS, using the "SRTM_Color_Index" identifier.
