Add features to a feature layer.

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
Click on a location on the map to add a feature at that location.
How it works
- Create and load a ServiceGeodatabasewith a feature service URL.
- Get the ServiceFeatureTablefrom the service geodatabase.
- Create a FeatureLayerfrom the service feature table.
- Create a Featurewith attributes and a location using theServiceFeatureTable.
- Add the Featureto theServiceFeatureTable.
- Apply edits to the ServiceGeodatabaseby callingapplyEditsAsync, which will upload the new feature to the online service.
Relevant API
- Feature
- FeatureEditResult
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
- ServiceGeodatabase
Tags
