Search for an address

Learn how to find an address or place with a search bar and the Geocoding service.

Geocoding is the process of converting address or place text into a location. The Geocoding service can search for an address or a place and perform reverse geocoding.

In this tutorial, you use a search bar in the user interface to access the Geocoding service and search for addresses and places.

To learn how to use the Geocoding service to reverse geocode, visit the Reverse geocode tutorial.

Prerequisites

Steps

Open a Xcode project

1. To start the tutorial, complete the Display a map tutorial or download and unzip the solution.

2. Open the .xcodeproj file in Xcode.

3. If you downloaded the solution project, set your API key.

   More info

   An API Key enables access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

   1. Go to your developer dashboard to get your API key. For these tutorials, use your default API key. It is scoped to include all of the services demonstrated in the tutorials.

   2. In Xcode, in the Project Navigator, click AppDelegate.swift.

   3. In the editor, set the apiKey property on the AGSArcGISRuntimeEnvironment with your API key.

      
      
      AppDelegate.swift

Add a search bar to the UI

To search an address using the application, add a UI element to prompt the user for text input.

The text input will be used as the geocode search text in a later step.

1. In Xcode, in the Project Navigator, click ViewController.swift.

2. In the editor, extend ViewController to conform to the UISearchBarDelegate protocol.

   More info

   The UISearchBarDelegate will allow ViewController to receive user interaction messages from a UISearchBar.

   ViewController.swift

3. Define a private method named setupSearchBar(). In setupSearchBar() create an UISearchBar with these initial values and assign it to navigationItem.titleView.

Add graphics to the map view

A graphics overlay is a container for graphics. Graphics are added as a visual means to display the search result on the map.

1. Create a private AGSGraphic property named textGraphic. This graphic will be used to display the result's text label.

   More info

   An AGSTextSymbol is used to display text at a location on the map view.

   Because textGraphic and markerGraphic haven't yet specified a geometry, they will not be visible.

4. In the viewDidLoad() method, call setupGraphics().

Define app geocode results status

The app will leverage a state-machine design pattern to ensure the contents of the map reflect the state of the search result. This design pattern supports wrangling multiple asynchronous requests to the world geocoding service into a single state variable result, ensuring the reliability of search results.

1. Define an enum named ResultStatus with two cases. The first case, none, is used when there is no result or an error is returned. The second case, result, is used when a result is found.
