Hi,

I Wonder if it is possible to set a ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer layer name when creating this layer ?

Thanks,

Where would you like the new layer name to appear? If it's the legend, this is possible. Take a look at the 'title' property of the layerInfos parameter:

Hi,

   After adding a one ArcGISdynamicMapServiceLayer to my map , I can then get it name by :

   map.getLayer(map.layerIds[0]).layerInfos[0].name

   The ArcGIS API for javascript sets the name automatically after creating the layer.

   What I want to do is to give that layer what ever name I wanted. So that when
    I make map.getLayer(map.layerIds[0]).layerInfos[0].name It will give me the name I have set.

   Or may be there is another custome attribute inside the layer the developper can use ?

Thanks

Hi Maxim,

            You can set the id for the layer you add to the map as follow:

            var TiledMapServiceLayer = new ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer(baseMapServiceLyr, {
                "id": "LayerNamegoeshere"
            });

            You can refer to the below API documentation for further reference:
            https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jsapi/arcgistiledmapservicelayer-amd.html

            Hope this helps.

            Regards,
            Manish
