Update geometries (feature service)
Update a feature's location in an online 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 callingapplyEditsAsync
, which will update the feature's geometry on the online service.
Relevant API
- Feature
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
- ServiceGeodatabase
