Tutorials | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Kotlin

Follow step-by-step instructions to build apps that incorporate ArcGIS Maps functionality.

Maps

Create a map that displays one of the many basemaps available from the basemap styles service The ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, also referred to as the Basemap Styles service, is a location service that provides basemap styles and data for the world. It returns styles as Mapbox styles and web maps, and data as vector tiles and/or map tiles. It supports all of the styles in the ArcGIS Basemap style and Open Basemap style family. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the service. Learn more .

Display a map

Create a map that uses a basemap service layer and zoom to a specified location.

Add a point, line, and polygon

Add shapes (graphics) to represent features on the map.

Display a web map

Display a preauthored map stored as an ArcGIS Online portal item.

Scenes

Display data in 3D with a scene.

Display a scene

Create a scene that uses a basemap service layer and zoom to a specified location.

Display a web scene

Display a preauthored scene stored as an ArcGIS Online portal item.

Layers

Add additional datasets to your map or scene.

Add a feature layer

Display feature service data hosted on ArcGIS Online.

Add a feature layer from a portal item

Display a feature layer based on an ArcGIS portal item hosted on ArcGIS Online.

Query

Query features using spatial and/or attribute Attributes are fields and values for a single feature or non-spatial record. They are typically stored in a database or service such as a feature service. Learn more criteria.

Query a feature layer (SQL)

Execute a SQL query to access polygon features from a feature layer.

Styles and data visualization

Create interesting maps and scenes with layer symbology customizations.

Style a feature layer

Learn how to apply renderers and label definitions to a feature layer based on attribute values.

Search and location

Show the current device location. Find addresses, businesses, and places with the Geocoding service A geocoding service is a service that can search for addresses, place addresses, businesses, reverse geocode coordinates to addresses, provide suggestions for places, and perform bulk geocoding. It is hosted by Esri as the ArcGIS Geocoding service and can also be hosted in ArcGIS Enterprise. Learn more .

Display device location

Show the location of the device that is running your app.

Search for an address

Display the geographic location for an address string.

Find places

Locate businesses, addresses, or points-of-interest on the map.

Routing

Find routes and directions with the Routing service A routing service is a service that uses network analysis and streets data to calculate the most effective path and turn-by-turn directions on a street network, optimize fleet routing and deliveries, find the closest facilities, calculate service areas, and more. It is hosted by Esri as the ArcGIS Routing service and can also be hosted in ArcGIS Enterprise. Learn more .

Find a route and directions

Calculate a route between locations on the map and provide directions for following it.

Spatial analysis

Find length and area

Find planar and geodetic measurements for length of lines and area of polygons.

Display a viewshed

Find areas of a scene that are hidden or visible based on terrain and 3D objects.

Display projected geometries

Display geometries in different spatial references.

Offline

Use tools to prepare data for offline use. Build applications to display, analyze, and edit data locally without an internet connection.

Create a mobile map package

Use ArcGIS Pro to package a map for offline use.

Display a map from a mobile map package

Display a map that’s been packaged for offline use.

Create an offline map area

Use ArcGIS Online to create an offline map area for your app users.

Display an offline map (on-demand)

Download and display an offline map for a specified geographic area.

Security and authentication

Implement user authentication User authentication is a type of authentication that allows users with an ArcGIS account to sign into an application and allow it to access ArcGIS content, services, and resources on their behalf. The typical authorization protocol used is OAuth2.0. Learn more in your app to access secure services A service, also known as an ArcGIS service, is software that supports an ArcGIS REST API and provides geospatial functionality or data. A service can be hosted by Esri or in ArcGIS Enterprise. Learn more .

Access services with OAuth credentials
