The following code sample demonstrates how to add a basic marker to a 3D map by
caling theaddMarkermethod. To use this code sample, follow the instructions inSetupandAdd a 3D map to your appto set up your Android Studio project with a basic 3D map. Then, add the
following code to theMainActivity.ktfile:
