Update geometries (feature service)

View on GitHub

Sample viewer app

Update a feature's location in an online feature service.

Image of update geometries feature service

Use case

Sometimes users may want to edit features in an online feature service by moving them.

How to use the sample

Click a feature to select it. Click again to set the updated location for that feature. An alert will be shown confirming success or failure.

How it works

Create and load a ServiceGeodatabase with a feature service URL.
Get the ServiceFeatureTable from the service geodatabase.
Create a FeatureLayer from the service feature table.
Select and load a feature from the FeatureLayer.
Change the selected feature's location using Feature.setGeometry(geometry).
Apply edits to the ServiceGeodatabase by calling applyEditsAsync, which will update the feature's geometry on the online service.
