Location not updating when generating new route QML

Question

Hi All,

I am having trouble with my location updating every time I generate a new route. Any help would be much appreciated.

stop1Geometry = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("Point",{
                                                                                  x: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.x,
                                                                                  y: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.y,
                                                                                  spatialReference: Factory.SpatialReference.createWgs84()
                                                                              });

Cheers,

Eric

Hi Lucus,

Still no luck. The template I was using to generate the route is the "find a route" sample. The issue I am having is when I delete this (see below) and try to replace it with your code it will not generate the route.

function addStopGraphics() {
         mapView.locationDisplay.start();
             stop1Geometry = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("Point",{                                                                                                          x: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.x,                                                                                                      y: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.y,                                                                                                     spatialReference: Factory.SpatialReference.createWgs84()
                                                                                                  });

}

Your code does produce updated lat and long (updated) but just can't get it to tie into the find a route.

Once again appreciate all the help.

Hi Lucas,

Sorry for the late reply but have been working on something else. That coding does work but still does not update location when routing. It does update lat and long in console log I just can't seem to connect it to routing if that makes sense?

I tested out adding the following to our "display device location" sample and could successfully log the x and y properties.

Connections {
    target: mapView.locationDisplay

function onLocationChanged() {
        console.log("location changed")
        var stop1Geometry = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("Point",{
                                                                      x: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.x,
                                                                      y: mapView.locationDisplay.location.position.y,
                                                                      spatialReference: Factory.SpatialReference.createWgs84()
                                                                  });
        console.log(JSON.stringify(stop1Geometry.json))
    }
}

Can you confirm this works for you? If so, I wonder, what is different in your app?
