Add features (Feature Service)

View inJavaKotlinView on GitHubSample viewer app

Add features to a feature layer.

Image of adding features

Use case

An end-user performing a survey may want to add features to the map during the course of their work.

How to use the sample

Tap on a location on the map to add a feature at that location.

How it works

  1. Create a ServiceFeatureTable from a URL.
  2. Create a FeatureLayer derived from the ServiceFeatureTable instance.
  3. Create a Feature with attributes and a location using the ServiceFeatureTable.
  4. Add the Feature to the ServiceFeatureTable.
  5. Apply edits to the ServiceFeatureTable which will upload the new feature to the online service.
