Loading a .mmpk file - base map not showing up

Question

I've created a .mmpk file which contains 4 polygons on a topographic map. When I open it up in ArcGIS Pro, it looks great. On Android, the polygons show up, the map does not, and I get the following:

ArcGIS Maps SDK: Load Error: ArcGISTiledLayer
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
hostname nor servname provided, or not known (services.arcgisonline.com:443)

I think I somehow have to embed the map in the mmpk file, but I don't see anyway to do that in ArcGIS Pro. Can someone please help me out?

If you want to work with the content offline you may find this blog about using Esri basemap in Mobile Map Packages useful.

Whether to embed/include the basemap within the mmpk is typically a choice you make based on your scenario/workflow and if users will have internet connectivity on their devices in the field. For more info see Offline maps, scenes, and data | ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET | ArcGIS Developers.

In terms of the error above, it indicates that your app cannot connect to the internet - some questions / things to investigate:

* Are you testing on an Android emulator or on a physical Android device?
* Can that environment access other internet content?
* What permissions have you requested/enabled in the Android manifest file for your app?
