Turn off Map Rotation

Question

Is there a way in ArcGIS Runtime 100.1.0 to turn off the map rotation? When use pinch gesture it rotates the map view is there a way to disable that? In ArcGIS 10.2.9 you there was a function mapView.setAllowRotationByPinch(boolean). Does something like that exist in 100.1.0?

package com.arcgis.apps.rotate import android.content.Context import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity import android.os.Bundle import android.util.Log import android.view.MotionEvent import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.ArcGISMap import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.Basemap import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.DefaultMapViewOnTouchListener import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.MapView class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) val map = ArcGISMap(Basemap.createDarkGrayCanvasVector()) val mapV = findViewById(R.id.mapView) as MapView mapV.map = map mapV.DisableRotation() } fun MapView.DisableRotation() { this.onTouchListener = NoRotate(this.context, this) } private inner class NoRotate(context: Context, mapView: MapView) : DefaultMapViewOnTouchListener(context, mapView) { override fun onRotate(event: MotionEvent, rotationAngle: Double): Boolean { Log.e("NOHE", "ROTATED") return true } override fun onLongPress(e: MotionEvent) { Log.e("NOHE", "SANITY") super.onLongPress(e) } } } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This is a sample in kotlin showing how to disable map rotation. Hope this helps!

DexterMorgan54‌,

I passed this along to our development team.  One thing that was suggested to me by them was to override the DefaultMapTouchListener::OnRotation() method so it does not call the super() method.  I have not had a chance to test this as of yet, but when I get some more time, I can test / write a extension function in Kotlin for this.
