basemap gallery

[LukePhilips]

Is there equivalent functionality in the iOS api to get the standard ESRI base map gallery like you see in ArcGIS Online and the other web API's?

[LukePhilips]

getting the URL to the thumbnail image for each baseMapGallery item, it looks like it's a mix of hard-coding and dynamic content to build the URL.
For example, I could build

{portal_url}+"/sharing/rest/content/items"+{itemId}+"/info/"+{thumbnailFileName}

which would build as an example: http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items/aab054ab883c4a4094c72e949566ad40/info/thumbnail/tempTerr...

Is there something that helps me not have to hard-code some of the URL?

You do not need to contract a URL. If AGSPortalItem::thumbnailFileName property is not NIL then you should execute AGSPortalItem's fetchThumbnail method. Once, that successfully execute, you will get thumbnail image in portalItem:operation:didFetchThumbnail: delegate method of AGSPortalItemDelegate.

Also, once that method execute successfully, you will get portal item thumbnail in AGSPortalItem's thumbnail property.

Hope this helps!
