This repository contains Flutter sample code demonstrating the capabilities of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter and how to use them in your own app. This SDK enables development of cross-platform GIS apps for mobile devices running iOS and Android.

Visit earlyadopter.esri.com and download the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter package. Follow the instructions to unpack it.

Clone or download this repository into the same parent directory as the arcgis_maps_package. Your file structure should be:

parent_directory
   |
   |__ arcgis-maps-sdk-flutter-samples
   |
   |__ arcgis_maps_package

Navigate to the arcgis-maps-sdk-flutter-samples directory.

cd arcgis-maps-sdk-flutter-samples

Use flutter pub upgrade to configure the dependencies.

flutter pub upgrade

Install arcgis_maps_core.

Note on Windows: this step requires permission to create symlinks. Either run this step in an elevated "Administrator" command prompt, or go to "Settings > Update & Security > For developers" and turn on "Developer Mode".

dart run arcgis_maps install

Now you are ready to run the samples app!

The app can be run on an iOS or Android simulator or device. Note: you will need to configure an API key to take full advantage of the samples in the app. See Configuring API Keys.

• Open the flutter project in VSCode
• Ensure a simulator is running or a device is connected to your development machine
• Open the "Run and Debug" sidebar
• Select which device or simulator you wish to use in the lower right corner of the VSCode window
• Select "Sample Viewer App (debug or release)"
  • Note that "Sample Viewer App (release)" can only be run on a device
• Click the run button or press F5

Individual samples can also be run on an iOS or Android simulator or device.

• Open the flutter project in VSCode
• Ensure a simulator is running or a device is connected to your development machine
• Select which device or simulator you wish to use in the lower right corner of the VSCode window
• To run from VSCode, open lib/utils/sample_runner.dart and define the sample you want to run
• Or run from the command line with flutter run lib/utils/sample_runner.dart --dart-define=SAMPLE=display_map

To take full advantage of the samples in the app, you will need to generate an API Key access token. Follow the Create an API Key tutorial. Ensure that you set the Location services privileges to Basemap, Geocoding, and Routing. Copy the API key as it will be used in the next step.

Add the new API Key directly to main.dart or create an environment JSON file that can be loaded with the --dart-define-from-file flutter run command line argument.

The JSON file itself should be of the format:

{
    "API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}

To run the Sample Viewer App using the JSON file to define your API key:

flutter run --dart-define-from-file=path/to/json/file.json
