Gradle build

Welcome to the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java Samples repository.

The ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java is used to build mapping, location, and GIS applications for desktop applications running on Windows, Mac, or Linux. This repo contains a set of sample projects demonstrating how to accomplish various mapping and geospatial tasks with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java.

Running the samples locally via this project

Each sample is an individual Gradle project that can be run standalone. Installing Gradle is not necessary since each sample includes the Gradle wrapper.

Pre-requisites:

Manually via the IDE:

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA and select File > Open....
  2. Choose one of the sample project directories (e.g. display-map) and click OK.
  3. Select File > Project Structure... and ensure that the Project SDK and language level are set to use Java 17.
  4. Store your API key in the gradle.properties file located in the /.gradle folder within your home directory. The API key will be set as a Java system property when the sample is run.

Note: if a gradle.properties file does not already exist in the /.gradle folder within your home directory, a Gradle task in the samples build.gradle file will generate one for you to populate with your API key.

apiKey = yourApiKey
  1. Open the Gradle view with View > Tool Windows > Gradle.
  2. In the Gradle view, double-click the run task under Tasks > application to run the app.

Note: if you encounter the error Could not get unknown property 'apiKey' for task ':run' of type org.gradle.api.tasks.JavaExec. you may have to set the Gradle user home in the IntelliJ Gradle settings to the /.gradle folder in your home directory.

Via the terminal:

  1. cd into one of the sample project directories (e.g. display-map).
  2. Run gradle wrapper to create the Gradle Wrapper
  3. Store your API key in the gradle.properties file located in the /.gradle folder within your home directory. The API key will be set as a Java system property when the sample is run.
  4. Run ./gradlew run on Linux/Mac or gradlew.bat run on Windows to run the app.

Setup an API key

Accessing ArcGIS location services, including basemap styles, routing, and geocoding services, requires authentication using either user authentication or API Key authentication:

  1. User authentication. Allows a user to sign into the application with an ArcGIS account to access ArcGIS content, services, and resources.
  2. API key authentication: A long-lived access token that gives your application access to ArcGIS location services. Go to the Create an API key tutorial to obtain a new API key access token. Ensure the following privileges are enabled: Basemaps, Geocoding, and Routing.

Offline sample data

Some samples require offline data. A samples-data directory will automatically download to the project root when the Gradle project is configured/imported.
