Remove default base layer MapView

Question

Hi all, I try to  make a simple Android app with Esri Api. But when I init MapView, it always show with a default layer ( OSM, TOPO, STREET) . I want to load only my private layer and not show any default layer at all (default is blank map). I have tried many times for changing MapOption but not found any solution. Please help me if you know, thanks

You can create your MapView without a basemap. You don't have to use MapOptions. This is a convenience approach to creating a MapView with some content quickly and easily, but it is optional.
