Image of find address

Use case

A user can input a raw address into your app's search bar and zoom to the address location.

How to use the sample

For simplicity, the sample comes loaded with a set of suggested addresses. Choose an address from the suggestions or submit your own address to show its location on the map in a callout.

How it works

Create a LocatorTask using the URL to a locator service.
Set the GeocodeParameters for the locator task and specify the geocode's attributes.
Get the matching results from the GeocodeResult using locatorTask.GeocodeAsync(addressString, geocodeParameters).
Create a Graphic with the geocode result's location and store the geocode result's attributes in the graphic's attributes.
Show the graphic in a GraphicsOverlay.

Additional information

This sample uses the World Geocoding Service. For more information, see the Geocoding service help topic on the ArcGIS Developer website.
