3D Maps using ArcGIS Android API

ViralSavani — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 23:58:23 GMT

I am involved in development if an android application which requires a 3D view of places. Ideally Google Earth view is something that suits our need. But unfortunately, there is no SDK implementation.

My question is, is there any remote possibility to generate such view using OpenGL and data from ESRI like the CityEngine does but for Mobile Device, preferably Android Device? Or is there any SDK feature for Enterprise user that provides that 3D view?

Not sure about the Android API, but at least for the JSAPI, with v4.0, 3D will be available:

I haven't heard anything about the Android API, but it's possible they could add support. You could always create a mobile app in JavaScript!

Hey Chris,

I know about the JSAPI but is it possible to render 3D data independent of underlying hardware platform? Like map.google.com on desktop will show the 3D Earth View but on mobile it won't.
