I can't show a web map using AGSWebMap

JoseMorales — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:58:39 GMT

I am trying to show a online map using AGSWebMap but I don't know exactly how doing.

This is my code: ViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ArcGis.h"

@interface ViewController : UIViewController 
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet AGSMapView *mapView;
    
@end

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize mapView;
.....

- (void) openIntoMapView: (AGSMapView*) mapView {
    AGSCredential* credential = [[[AGSCredential alloc] initWithUser:@"<my_user_name>" password:@"<My_passdword>"] autorelease];
    credential.authType = AGSAuthenticationTypeToken;
    AGSWebMap* webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"e20f2f98b35c4963a5e124bf43c1d74a" credential:credential];
}

I received a message from Xcode "Unusued variable webmap" and the simulator show a white screen. Could anyone help me to solve this error? Thanks

Just add a code line...

    AGSCredential* credential = [[[AGSCredential alloc] initWithUser:@"<my_user_name>" password:@"<My_passdword>"] autorelease];
    credential.authType = AGSAuthenticationTypeToken;
    AGSWebMap* webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"e20f2f98b35c4963a5e124bf43c1d74a" credential:credential];
[webmap openIntoMapView:self.mapView]; //added

Hi Nimesh

I am having the same problem and getting a white screen, even though I have added the above bit you suggested.

Here is my code

- (void) openIntoMapView: (AGSMapView*) mapView {

AGSWebMap* webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"3e7c311a0f2c49a1a5821411a22e3ac2" ];
[webmap openIntoMapView:self.mapView];
}

Its a public webmap so doesn't need any credentials. In my case it throws a warning as 'Method -initWithItemId not found' . I have included #import "ArcGIS.h" file properly.

Any help will be appreciated. Also it would be nice to have a sample created to display ArcGIS.com WebMap using iOS.

Cheers

Okie..i know what's happening. You must retain webmap so the instance remain around until web map finish loading and then you can open into mapView. Here is the code you should try..

ViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ArcGis.h"

@interface <Classname> : UIViewController <AGSWebMapDelegate>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController 
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet AGSMapView *mapView;
@property (retain, nonatomic) AGSWebmap *webmap;
    
@end

ViewController.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    AGSCredential* credential = [[[AGSCredential alloc] initWithUser:@"<my_user_name>" password:@"<My_passdword>"] autorelease];
    credential.authType = AGSAuthenticationTypeToken;
    self.webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"e20f2f98b35c4963a5e124bf43c1d74a" credential:credential];
    self.webmap.delegate = self
}

#pragma mark AGSWebMapDelegate

- (void)webMapDidLoad:(AGSWebMap *)webMap {
 
 NSLog(@"delegate webMapDidLoad");
 
 //open webmap in mapview
 [self.webMap openIntoMapView:self.mapView];
}

-(void)didOpenWebMap:(AGSWebMap*)webMap intoMapView:(AGSMapView*)mapView {
 NSLog(@"delegate didOpenWebMap");
}

Even though, the web map is public you must use the complete method..

self.webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"itemid" credential:nil];

I tried your code and the white screen appear newly. Xcode says that there is no error in the code.

ViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ArcGis.h"

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <AGSWebMapDelegate>
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet AGSMapView *mapView;
@property (retain, nonatomic) AGSWebMap *webmap;

@end

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize mapView;
@synthesize webmap;


#pragma mark - 

- (void) openIntoMapView: (AGSMapView*) mapView {
    self.webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"d802f08316e84c6592ef681c50178f17" credential:nil];
    self.webmap.delegate = self;
}
- (void)webMapDidLoad:(AGSWebMap *)webmap {
 
 NSLog(@"delegate webMapDidLoad");
 //open webmap in mapview
 [self.webmap openIntoMapView:self.mapView];
}

-(void)didOpenWebMap:(AGSWebMap*)webmap intoMapView:(AGSMapView*)mapView {
 NSLog(@"delegate didOpenWebMap");
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [mapView release];
    [super dealloc];
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
    [self setMapView:nil];
    [super viewDidUnload];
}
@end

Do you see anything printed on the debug window for following NSLog statements?

NSLog(@"delegate webMapDidLoad");
NSLog(@"delegate didOpenWebMap");

Looks like something wrong with the simulator. Please restart your machine and then try...

The code written by you never executes. Because the first method which view executes is viewDidLoad and it's missing. 😞

Just change the code as below and it should work..

//- (void) openIntoMapView: (AGSMapView*) mapView {
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    self.webmap = [[AGSWebMap alloc] initWithItemId:@"d802f08316e84c6592ef681c50178f17" credential:nil];
    self.webmap.delegate = self;
}
