Slick2D TileD Map Editor Properties [closed]

Question

So I used the following post to help me render my isometric map in Slick2D:

Slick2D Isometric TiledMap Rendering Problem

Big thanks and credit to arminb for the code supplied and for the fix to be able to use it.

My question is, how would I go about getting the properties of the isometric tiles. I have a little character that can walk around on the map, but he can walk on the blocked tiles. I have no code to be able to detect the properties.

This is the code I am using. The map is generated correctly, and the character is generated correctly.

How would I get the properties of a tile that I walk on?

        // Original orientation of the sprite. It will look right.
        sprite = right;
        map = new TiledMap("data/iso.tmx"); //path is valid!
    }

            sprite.update(delta);
            // The lower the delta the slowest the sprite will animate.

Read the documentation for the TiledMap class. You'll find a method called getTileID(). It takes a x and y position and a layer ID. Pass in the position and layer ID of the player. This will give you the ID of the tile the player is at. Use that ID to retrieve information about the tile.
