Notes

OpenGL ES

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt 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 graphics acceleration.

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).

Rendering

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt renders 2D maps and 3D scenes with different graphics APIs, depending on the platform. The Qt Rendering Hardware Interface (RHI) for Qt Quick applications defaults to Metal for macOS/iOS, Direct3D on Windows, OpenGL on Linux, and OpenGL ES on Android. When developing Qt Quick apps for macOS/iOS or Windows, you will need to include Metal or Direct3D shaders respectively or force the use of OpenGL. See the Deployment page for information on how to include these additional shaders within your apps. If you want your application to always force the use of OpenGL regardless of platform and not use the target's default rendering API, you can make the following call in your main() C++ method, before constructing any QQuickWindow:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
QQuickWindow::setGraphicsApi(QSGRendererInterface::GraphicsApi::OpenGL);

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) support for https

This API requires SSL support to make network requests over https using the Qt Framework. The Qt Framework supports various SSL backends per platform, for example Schannel on Windows, secure-transport on Apple platforms, OpenSSL on Linux, etc. The following Qt documentation provides additional details for SSL configuration and deployment with Qt.
