Description

Displays Bing maps layers.

A Bing maps layer displays map content from a Bing Maps web service, providing access to static map tiles and imagery metadata.

Map style and culture can be customized prior to loading the layer.

Functional characteristics:

Bing maps require an API key from Microsoft.

There are two ways to set this key:

By providing an ArcGIS portal configured with a Bing Maps key. For more information, see How to install a Microsoft Bing Key.
By providing a Bing Maps key directly for this layer. For more information, see Getting a Bing Maps Key.

A Bing maps layer will fail to load if it does not have a Bing map key or a Portal from where it can get the Bing map key. In this situation, you can set the AGSBingMapsLayer::key and call AGSLoadable::retryLoad.

Bing maps layers do not support identify, query, selection, or time.

Use of AGSBingMapsLayer in ArcGIS Runtime requires adherence to Microsoft's Mobile Brand Guidelines.

Performance characteristics:

Bing maps layers perform similarly to other tiled layers. Raster tiles are fetched from Bing's servers on demand.

Method Documentation

◆ bingMapsLayerWithKey:style:

+ (instancetype) bingMapsLayerWithKey:	(NSString *)	key
style:	(AGSBingMapsLayerStyle)	style

Creates a layer with the provided Bing Maps key and map style.

Parameters

key	A key to access the Bing Maps service.
style	The map style.

Returns: A new Bing Maps layer.

Since: 100.1

◆ bingMapsLayerWithPortal:style:

+ (instancetype) bingMapsLayerWithPortal:	(AGSPortal *)	portal
style:	(AGSBingMapsLayerStyle)	style

Creates a layer with the provided ArcGIS portal and map style.

Parameters

portal	A portal containing a key to access the Bing Maps service.

Since: 100.1

◆ cancelLoad

- (void) cancelLoad

requiredinherited

Cancels loading if it is in progress, otherwise it does nothing. This should be called carefully because other objects could be waiting for loadWithCompletion: or retryLoadWithCompletion: to complete and this will call them all back with the error of NSUserCancelledError

Since: 100

◆ doCancelLoading

- (void) doCancelLoading

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when cancelLoad (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to cancel loading their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) at the end passing in an error representing NSUserCancelledError.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ doStartLoading:

- (void) doStartLoading: (BOOL) retrying

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when loadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) or retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to load their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) upon completion, passing in the error if any.

Parameters

retrying flag that is true if this method was called from retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p).

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ fetchLegendInfosWithCompletion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) fetchLegendInfosWithCompletion: (void(^)(NSArray< AGSLegendInfo * > *__nullable legendInfos, NSError *__nullable error)) completion

Fetches the array of legend infos (AGSLegendInfo) for this layer.

◆ isEqualToLayer:

- (BOOL) isEqualToLayer: (AGSLayer *) other

◆ isVisibleAtScale:

- (BOOL) isVisibleAtScale: (double) scale

Check whether this layer is visible at a given scale.

Since: 100

◆ loadDidFinishWithError:

- (void) loadDidFinishWithError: (nullable NSError *) error

Only subclasses should call this method in doStartLoading: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) and doCancelLoading (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) when done loading or failed to load.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ loadWithCompletion:

- (void) loadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Loads data for the object asynchronously. The completion block is invoked upon completion.

You can call this method any number of times, however only one attempt is made to load the data. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load (i.e. not force a reload). If it has already loaded successfully, the completion block will be invoked right away. If it has already failed to load, the completion block will be invoked right away with error previously encountered. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

Since: 100

◆ onLoadStatusChanged

- (void) onLoadStatusChanged

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when AGSLoadable::loadStatus changes is called. Subclasses can optionally implement this to know when their loading status has changed.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey:

- (void) respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey: (AGSTileKey *) tileKey

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer does not find a tile.

Parameters

tileKey specifying the tile that was requested.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ respondWithTileKey:data:error:

- (void) respondWithTileKey:	(AGSTileKey *)	tileKey
data:	(nullable NSData *)	data
error:	(nullable NSError *)	error

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer has successfully retrieved the tile requested in tileRequestHandler, or if an error is encountered while retrieving the tile.

Parameters

tileKey	specifying the tile that was requested.
data	for the retrieved tile if the operation was successful.
error	encountered while retrieving the tile if the operation failed.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ retryLoadWithCompletion:

- (void) retryLoadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Tries to reload when an object has failed to load. This method should be called judiciously. It should be called when:

you didn't have network connectivity earlier when it failed and you want to retry now that you have connectivity
the server was down earlier when it failed and you want to retry
the request is taking too long and you want to cancel it and retry, in which case you will first call cancelLoad and then this method

If the data hasn't started loading, it will start loading. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load. If it has already loaded successfully, calls back right away. If it has already failed to load, tries again. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

◆ noDataTileBehavior

- (AGSNoDataTileBehavior) noDataTileBehavior

readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Determines how a tile request that returns 'NoData' is resampled.

Zooming in can result in tile requests with no tiles at the requested level of detail.

In this case, there are options that control what to display where the tile should be:

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorUpSample - Resample the pixels from a lower level of detail tile. This can result in pixelation or blurriness. This is the default behavior for operational layers.

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorBlank - The 'NoData' pixels will show the raster picture as being blank (or disappearing). This is the default behavior for basemap reference layers.

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorShow - This will show the raster picture with the text 'No Data' stamped over it once you pass the lowest level-of-detail scale

Sometimes, to see the effect on the map when setting the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior property, the AGSLayer::maxScale value must also be explicitly set. The AGSLayer::maxScale property may need to be smaller than the level-of-detail setting that was used to create the tiled images in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop. For example, consider an operational image tiled layer showing forest cover that was created with the level-of-detail assumption that it was to be viewed above a scale of 5000 (meaning you will not see 'NoData' until you zoom closer to the Earth than a 5000 scale). However, you want to be able to zoom in closer to the Earth surface, say down to 3000 or 300. By setting the AGSLayer::maxScale property to a number smaller than 5000, you will be able to zoom in closer to the Earth and see the effects of changing the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior enumerations.
