ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android

Esri has released the ArcGIS Runtime Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Android platform. Available at no cost from the Esri Resource Center, ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android enables organisations to build and deploy powerful geospatial solutions that extend GIS to a wider audience.  

Esri designed the SDK to use web services available from ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS Online. Users of the platform can access dynamic, tiled, and image map services; overlay graphics; search and identify features; locate addresses; collect and update data; and perform GIS analysis. Developers and Esri partners can also use the SDK to create custom mapping applications for both internal and external use. ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android is delivered via an Eclipse plug-in and contains native Java libraries; integrated documentation, sample applications, and templates; conceptual and reference guide help and community resources including code galleries, forums, and blogs.
