How to programatically rotate a mapView object on android?

Hi,

My android device has a resistive screen which means no multi-touch.
So i put two buttons on my MapView object and i want by pressing them to rotate the map left or right.
I was unsuccessful so far.
Ill appreciate you help.
thanks,
Dan.

Hi Dan,

You should be able to use the setRotation method on the MapView to set the rotation angle of the map.
https://developers.arcgis.com/android/api-reference/reference/com/esri/android/map/MapView.html#setRotationAngle(double)

You can see an example of this in the Map Rotation sample - this sample sets a listener so that a single tap on the map will re-set the rotation angle of the map back to 0. There are overloads of this method available with alternative parameters.

Thnx, but how can i tell the mapview to make the rotation command?
do i have to issue a set of motion commands and if so, what is the best set of commands? or is there a better way?

Thank you,
Dan.
