  • Minimum supported: Android 8.0, Oreo (API level 26)

Processor architectures

  • armeabi-v7a - For targeting Android-supported devices with CPUs based on the 32-bit ARMv7 architecture.
  • arm64-v8a - For targeting Android-supported devices with CPUs based on the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture.

  • x86-64 - For targeting Android-supported devices with CPUs that support the Intel64 architecture.

Graphics

ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET uses OpenGL ES technology on Android to render 2D map views and 3D scene views. Rendering in a map view uses OpenGL ES 3.0 or above if available on the device. Otherwise it uses OpenGL ES 2.0 or above. Rendering in a scene view requires OpenGL ES 3.2.

You may need to configure graphics acceleration when using an Android emulator. For more information, see the document Configure hardware acceleration for the Android Emulator.

OpenGL ES 3.0 for geoanalysis

OpenGL ES 3.0 or above is required if you are using the geoanalysis tools. These analysis classes primarily perform work on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).
