How to Get Geometry Type of a Feature Layer

Question

Hi,

I created a feature layer and tried to get the geometry type of that layer. But this doesn't work. I need this to define a selection symbol depending on the geometry type.featureLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer(layerListArray[0], layerOptions);

featureLayer.geometryType; (This doesn't work)

featureLayer.setSelectionSymbol(markerSymbol);
map.addLayer(featureLayer);

Need a help...

Thanks for the reply. Now I understood that, map should be fully loaded to get the geometry type of a layer. So, when i call FeatureLayer.geometryType inside layer-add-result event. it works fine.

Hi,

Actually FeatureLayer.geometryType

should work but if that doesn't work also then when the layer get added to map you can get geometry type of feature layer .Suppose the feature layer Id is  Layer1  then use this map._layers["Layer1"].geometryType

.

Thanks
