MGLOfflinePackProgressChangedNotification

Posted by the shared MGLOfflineStorage object when an MGLOfflinePack object’s progress changes. The progress may change due to a resource being downloaded or because the pack discovers during the download that more resources are required for offline viewing. This notification is posted whenever any field in the progress property changes.

The object is the MGLOfflinePack object whose progress changed. The userInfo dictionary contains the pack’s current state in the MGLOfflinePackUserInfoKeyState key and details about the pack’s current progress in the MGLOfflinePackUserInfoKeyProgress key. You may also consult the MGLOfflinePack.state and MGLOfflinePack.progress properties, which provide the same values.

If you only need to observe changes in a particular pack’s progress, you can alternatively observe KVO change notifications to the pack’s progress key path.

Declaration

Objective-C

extern const NSNotificationName _Nonnull MGLOfflinePackProgressChangedNotification

Swift

static let MGLOfflinePackProgressChanged: NSNotification.Name

MGLOfflinePackErrorNotification

Posted by the shared MGLOfflineStorage object whenever an MGLOfflinePack object encounters an error while downloading. The error may be recoverable and may not warrant the user’s attention. For example, the pack’s implementation may attempt to re-request failed resources based on an exponential backoff strategy or upon the restoration of network access.

The object is the MGLOfflinePack object that encountered the error. The userInfo dictionary contains the error object in the MGLOfflinePackUserInfoKeyError key.

Declaration

Objective-C

extern const NSNotificationName _Nonnull MGLOfflinePackErrorNotification

Swift

static let MGLOfflinePackError: NSNotification.Name

MGLOfflinePackMaximumMapboxTilesReachedNotification

Posted by the shared MGLOfflineStorage object when the maximum number of Mapbox-hosted tiles has been downloaded and stored on the current device.

The object is the MGLOfflinePack object that reached the tile limit in the course of downloading. The userInfo dictionary contains the tile limit in the MGLOfflinePackUserInfoKeyMaximumCount key.

Once this limit is reached, no instance of MGLOfflinePack can download additional tiles from Mapbox APIs until already downloaded tiles are removed by calling the -[MGLOfflineStorage removePack:withCompletionHandler:] method.

MGLShapeSourceOptionClusterProperties

An NSDictionary object where the key is an NSString. The dictionary key will be the feature attribute key. The resulting attribute value is aggregated from the clustered points. The dictionary value is an NSArray consisting of two NSExpression objects.

The first object determines how the attribute values are accumulated from the cluster points. It is an NSExpression with an expression function that accepts two or more arguments, such as sum or max. The arguments should be featureAccumulated and the previously defined feature attribute key. The resulting value is assigned to the specified attribute key.

The second NSExpression in the array determines which attribute values are accessed from individual features within a cluster.

let firstExpression = NSExpression(format: "sum:({$featureAccumulated, sumValue})")
let secondExpression = NSExpression(forKeyPath: "magnitude")
let clusterPropertiesDictionary = ["sumValue" : [firstExpression, secondExpression]]

let options : [MGLShapeSourceOption : Any] = [.clustered : true,
                                       .clusterProperties: clusterPropertiesDictionary]

MGLStyleDefaultVersion

A version number identifying the default version of the Mapbox Streets style obtained through the MGLStyle.streetsStyleURL method. This version number may also be passed into the +[MGLStyle streetsStyleURLWithVersion:] method.

The value of this constant generally corresponds to the latest released version as of the date on which this SDK was published. You can use this constant to ascertain the style used by MGLMapView and MGLTilePyramidOfflineRegion when no style URL is specified. Consult the Mapbox Styles API documentation for the most up-to-date style versioning information.

Warning

The value of this constant may change in a future release of the SDK. If you use any feature that depends on a specific aspect of a default style — for instance, the minimum zoom level that includes roads — you may use the current value of this constant or the underlying style URL, but do not use the constant itself. Such details may change significantly from version to version.
