# Query the API for items

Create a basic UI with 3 views (**CiewControllers** for iOS and **activities** for Android) and a tab bar. 

Each view will represent a section of the app (**Home**, **News**, and **Gallery**).

To obtain the content that will be displayed in the views, call this function with the id of the block that you can see from the dashboard:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="iOS" %}

```bash
MBClient.getSectionsWithBlockId(THE_BLOCK_ID, parameters: nil, success: { (sections, paginationInfos) in

}, failure: { (error) in
 
})
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Android" %}

```bash
MBurgerTasks.askForSections(context, HOME_BLOCK_ID, null, true, listener)

...

@Override
public void onSectionsApiResult(ArrayList <MBSection> sections, long  block_id,
    MBPaginationInfo  paginationInfos)  {
    
    ArrayList <Home> homePages = new ArrayList <> ();        
    for (int i = 0; i < sections.size(); i++)  {          
        Home home = mapHome(sections.get(i));
        homePages.add(home);
    }      
    showHome();  
}    
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Now you need to create `Home` objects from `MBSection` objects in order to create an array of Homepages we will use the mapping functions of the section object to do this.
