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
