Find the location for an 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
Select an entry from the drop-down menu at the top left of the screen to zoom to the address, marked with a pin.
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
usinglocatorTask.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
.
Relevant API
- GeocodeParameters
- GeocodeResult
- LocatorTask
Additional information
This sample uses the World Geocoding Service. For more information, see the Geocoding service help topic on the ArcGIS Developer website.
