ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android Samples

Overview

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android v10.2.6 samples for Android Studio. The repo contains an Android Studio project with multi-project sample app modules that can be run from within the Android Studio IDE.

Prerequisites

• The samples are building with compileSdkVersion 21 which requires JDK 7 or higher
• Android Studio

Developer Instructions

The ArcGIS Android SDK Samples are Gradle based Android projects which can be directly cloned and imported into Android Studio.

Each sample app module has a build.gradle file with the latest ArcGIS Android SDK compile dependency.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.esri.arcgis.android:arcgis-android:10.2.6-2'
}

Our SDK is hosted in our public maven repository hosted by Bintray. Our repository url is added to the projects build.gradle file.

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'https://esri.bintray.com/arcgis'
    }
}

Command line Git

Clone the ArcGIS Android SDK Samples

# Clones your fork of the repository into the current directory in terminal
$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git

Configure remote upstream for your fork

To sync changes you make in a fork with this repository, you must configure a remote that points to the upstream repository in Git.

• Open a terminal (Mac users) or command prompt (Windows & Linux users)
• List the current configured remote repository for your fork

$ git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (push)

• Specify a new remote upstream repository

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git

• Verify the new upstream repository

$ git remote -v

origin	https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-android.git (push)

Sync your fork

Once you have set up a remote upstream you can keep your fork up to date with our samples repository by syncing your fork.

• Open a terminal (Mac users) or command prompt (Windows & Linux users)
• Change to the current working directory of your local repository
• Fetch the branches and commits from the upstream repository. Commits to master will be stored in a local branch, upstream/master.

$ git fetch upstream

• Check out your forks local master branch

$ git checkout master

• Merge changes from upstream/master into your local master branch which syncs your forks master branch with our samples repository.

$ git merge upstream/master

Import Gradle Sample project into Android Studio

Once the project is cloned to disk you can import into Android Studio:

• From the toolbar select File > Import Project, or Import Non-Android Studio project from the Welcome Quick Start.
• Navigate to the root project folder, arcgis-android-sdk-gradle-samples-10.2.6 directory and click OK

Run a sample

You should now be able to run any of the included samples. We will use the HelloWorld Sample as an example.

• Select HelloWorld from the Select Run/Debug Configuration drop down
• Click the Run button

Location Services

Some of our apps need an active GPS connection to run. When using the emulator, you will need to push the location when trying to run these sample apps on a GPS enabled emulator. Refer here for more information. You can also push the location using the Android Device Manager

1. Launch Android Device Manager
2. Select 'Emulator Control' tab
3. Enter Longitude and Latitude and click on Send (This will fix the location on your emulator)
