Edit Text on Map (runtime SDK for android)

LouiePang — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 07:23:16 GMT

I'm writing a annotation placement on map function, while in "onSingleTapConfirmed"

Below text can be placed on map

TextSymbol ts = new TextSymbol(14, "some text", BLUE, CENTER, MIDDLE);
currentTextGraphic = new Graphic(mapPoint, ts);
mGraphicsOverlay.getGraphics().add(currentTextGraphic);

Cascade the created text on map, when user try to edit it, it show up as a "Point" and after save, the text turned into point system, e.g. only below determination failled into.

if (graphic.getGeometry().getGeometryType() == GeometryType.POINT) {

Or may I know if any method to check the "point" had "TextSymbol" before so that I can further udpate?

Hello LouiePang,

I believe the issue may be that the selected object that you are checking is a MapPoint, so you should try check if it is of type

Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Geometry.MapPoint

May I know how I can check if it is should be a Text/TextSymbol e.g. from the Graphic?
I'm using SketchEditor for placing the Text as mentioned, Or I should uses other way to do it?

My aims is to let user interactively place text on map, it will be good if can be move/edit content again.

Thx
