How to Change Position of Polygon/Polyline graphic in ArcGIS java

FuzailSiddiqui

I am working on a map based application using ArcGIS java SDK 100.7.0. I'm working on drawing and editing graphics. My question is very simple. Is there a way that we can change the center point of the extent of a polygon or a polyline graphic. I am required to give my user the ability to drag and move a graphic on MapView when on edit mode. How can i achieve this in java.

Hello,

Utilitising the Sketch Editor, a user can click and drag a geometry (currently supporting polygon/polyline/point/multipoint) once it has been added to e.g. a graphics overlay. See the Sketch On Map sample for an example of how to use this functionality.

Programmatically, this happens via capturing the graphic's geometry and passing it into the sketchEditor.start() function. This allows the user to click on the graphic, and click and drag it to move the whole graphic, or click and drag individual vertexes on the graphic to edit individual segments. See for example the following code snippet from the Sketch On Map sample:

if (!graphicsOverlay.getSelectedGraphics().isEmpty()) {
      graphic = graphicsOverlay.getSelectedGraphics().get(0);
      sketchEditor.start(graphic.getGeometry());
    }

Hope this helps,

Rachael
