Map loaded

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Determine the map's load status which can be notLoaded, failedToLoad, loading, or loaded.

Image for Map load status

Use case

Knowing the map's load state may be required before subsequent actions can be executed.

How to use the sample

Open the sample to load the map. The load status will be displayed on screen.

How it works

  1. Create an AGSMap and add it to the AGSMapView.
  2. Use Key-Value Observing on the AGSMap's loadStatus property to determine when the status has changed.

The value of the loadStatus property is loaded when any of the following criteria are met:

  • The map has a valid spatial reference.
  • The map has an an initial viewpoint.
  • One of the map's predefined layers has been created.
