ArcGIS WebMap - MapImage Sub Layer Visibility

JithenSingh · ‎05-06-2019

Hi - Am doing some R&D and have the SampleWorldCities coming from ArcGIS Enterprise - https://arcgis.cloud.eaglegis.co.nz/portal/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=f16c88ffa42a425e9e26ee932a...

Using JS API 3.27, I need to toggle off the sub layers, for example "World".

I am able to get all of the layer ID's from -

map._layers;‍

If I then call -

layer = map.getLayer(layersToSet[i].layerID);
layer.hide()‍‍‍‍

The map does not toggle this layer off in the WebMap but the properties show that it has.

Am I missing something? Or is there another way of handling this with using ArcGIS Server services with within WebMap?

Thanks

Jithen,

Because you have to get the parent layer (ArcGISDyanmicMapServiceLayer class) then use the setVisibleLayers method on that layer.

map.getLayer("SampleWorldCities_9560")‍.setVisibleLayers([2]);‍

Jithen,

Here is a working example of turning off a layer in your webmap.

Thanks. This uses a legend to getLegendLayers and then the layer ID following to layer.hide().

I already have valid layer ID’s through the approach that I have used, just that layer.hide() doesn’t do anything. Well it does - and re-querying the layer shows it as not visible but it still shows on the map.

I don’t need a legend so keen to investigate other options.

Thanks

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎05-06-2019

Jithen,

??? you can remove the whole legend portion and the code I provided still works using your webmap...

JithenSingh · ‎05-06-2019

Thanks - Just had a deeper look. Should clarify that I am looking to turn off the sub layers within the service so not

SampleWorldCities_9560

But instead -

SampleWorldCities_9560_2

I have tried to turn off the main layer and that works OK. Turning off the sub layer for example for World does not work?

Thanks

JithenSingh · ‎05-06-2019

So effectively if I do the following -

var lyr = map.getLayer("SampleWorldCities_9560_2");
lyr.hide();

It does not work.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎05-06-2019

Jithen,

Because you have to get the parent layer (ArcGISDyanmicMapServiceLayer class) then use the setVisibleLayers method on that layer.

map.getLayer("SampleWorldCities_9560")‍.setVisibleLayers([2]);‍

Thanks! - I did wonder about this. Means extra coding to traverse the layers. Ok - Thanks
