Getting Locations by External ID

A method on MapsIndoors is available to retrieve locations by their externalId. This is only for exact matches and is not a part of the general search implementations, so must be specifically implemented.

The function on all 3 platforms functions similarly, returning an Array or List of Locations that match the supplied External ID strings.

If you are looking for documentation on Android SDK v3, please see here.

Running the below snippet will return a List of MPLocations.

val locations = MapsIndoors.getLocationsByExternalIds(externalIds)

iOS v3

Known iOS Issues

1. Developing on the new Arm-based Apple Silicon (M1) Macs requires building and running on a physical iOS device or using an iOS simulator running iOS 13.7, e.g. iPhone 11. This is a temporary limitation in Google Maps SDK for iOS, and as such also a limitation in MapsIndoors, due to the dependency to Google Maps.
2. Note: Due to a bug in CocoaPods it is necessary to include the post_install hook in your Podfile described in the PodFile post_install wiki.

Running the below snippet will return an Array of MPLocations.

MPLocationService.sharedInstance().getLocationsByExternalIds(externalIds)

Web v4

Running the below snippet will return an Array of MPLocations.

locationsService.getLocationsByExternalId(externalIds)
