Get tags from metadata from the layer in a Mobile Map Package

CarstenAndersson — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 09:18:46 GMT

I'm working on an app created in AppStudio (Qt Creator). The app is based on the MapViewer template which is able to use Mobile Map Packages (MMPK), and I want to be able to see the tags for each layer. It's possible to add tags on the layers in the MMPK, but I can't seem to figure out a way to read them in my code. I have a piece of code that iterates through all the layers, and I can see the layers tags by using the property tags on the ArcGISItem property, but since this is not an online layer I don't have that property on the offline layer. But as I wrote it's possible to add tags on the layers in the MMPK.

The screenshot above shows a tag on the layer in the MMPK.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙂

How about when you upload this MMPK to ArcGIS Online as an ArcGIS item, I think you can set a tag on the ArcGIS item, then read it from there?

I want to be able to read the tags from the layers within the MMPK, not the MMPK itself. So I can read tags for each layer when I iterate through them when I open the MMPK in my QML app.
