SpaceEffect.Transparent Android.

[dronematt]

According to what I am reading this should set the background to transparent. Is it broken in the 100.8 SDK? Is the app have to be a certain license level for this to work? package com.esri.arcgisruntime.basicandroidproject;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.graphics.Color; import android.os.Bundle; import android.transition.Scene;

import com.esri.arcgisruntime.ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.ArcGISMap; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.ArcGISScene; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.ArcGISTiledElevationSource; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.Basemap; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.Surface; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.AtmosphereEffect; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.MapView; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.SceneView; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.mapping.view.SpaceEffect; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.portal.Portal; import com.esri.arcgisruntime.portal.PortalItem;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private SceneView mSceneView;

private void setupScene() {
    if (mSceneView != null) {
       // String itemID = "579f97b2f3b94d4a8e48a5f140a6639b";
        //Portal portal = new Portal("https://www.arcgis.com");
        //PortalItem portalItem = new PortalItem(portal, itemID);
        ArcGISScene scene = new ArcGISScene();
        mSceneView.setScene(scene);
        //mSceneView.setAtmosphereEffect(AtmosphereEffect.NONE);
        mSceneView.setSpaceEffect(SpaceEffect.TRANSPARENT);
        mSceneView.setAtmosphereEffect(AtmosphereEffect.NONE);

    }
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    mSceneView = findViewById(R.id.scene);
    setupScene();
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    if (mSceneView != null) {
        mSceneView.pause();
    }
    super.onPause();
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (mSceneView != null) {
        mSceneView.resume();
    }
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    if (mSceneView != null) {
        mSceneView.dispose();
    }
    super.onDestroy();
}

}

@geospace12 I think the answer to your question may be here: https://community.esri.com/thread/256048-spaceeffecttransparent

I can confirm the functionality works correctly. The GeoNet post explains the purpose of the property and how it works.

Think the problem is that it appears in a regular sceneview it would be usable apparently its only in the AR functions.

@geospace12 take a look at the GeoNet post. It works for things other than the AR functions as had been shown in the latest post from Gunther.
