Obtain and Store the coordinates of a device's current location

Good Day,

I followed the tutorial entitled "Load a Webmap and Display Device Location" and I was successful. Now that I was able to display the device's location, I wanted to get/extract its coordinates and store it in a feature service. I have tried numerous examples on here and even resorted to trying to customize the add/ delete features template however I was unsuccessful. Instead of the Display Device Location, I also tried older examples such as position display point (mapPoint) where I modified the code a bit to use location display etc and it still did not work. I used another example from on here (Add a feature in a feature service-I had to modify the code as well) and I got a basemap to show up and a button (alone) however when the button was clicked, nothing happened.

What can I do? How can I obtain the coordinates from the device's current location and how can I store these coordinates? Thank you.

The Quick Report template should have an example of this functionality.

Giatri,

So the sample "Display Device Location" is using

LocationDisplay QML Type from ArcGIS Runtime for Qt QML , and then there is a property "positionSource" in the type of
- PositionSource QML Type from QT, that has "position" property in the type of
  - Position QML Type that has "coordinate" and other properties that should give lat/long, and other position value you need.

Thank you,

Erwin
