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

  1. Create and load a ServiceGeodatabase with a feature service URL.
  2. Get the ServiceFeatureTable from the service geodatabase.
  3. Create a FeatureLayer from the service feature table.
  4. Create a Feature with attributes and a location using the ServiceFeatureTable.
  5. Add the Feature to the ServiceFeatureTable.
  6. Apply edits to the ServiceGeodatabase by calling applyEditsAsync, which will upload the new feature to the online service.
