Update feature attributes in an online feature service.
Use case
Online feature services can be updated with new data. This is useful for updating existing data in real time while working in the field.
How to use the sample
To change the feature's damage property, click on the feature to select it, and update the damage type using the drop down.
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. - Select features from the
FeatureLayer. - To update the feature's attribute, first load it, then use
.getAttributes().put(keyValuePair)to modify the desired attribute. - Update the feature table with
.updateFeatureAsync(feature). - Apply edits to the
ServiceGeodatabaseby callingapplyEditsAsync, which will update the feature on the online service.
Relevant API
- ArcGISFeature
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
