Adding a label next to static point on map

Hi,

I have static points on a map.

I use this code to draw them:

point = GeometryEngine.project(longitude, latitude, mapSR);

pointGraphic = new Graphic(point, symbol);

graphicsLayer.addGraphic(pointGraphic);

The point is drawed on the map.

Now I want to add a label(?) to it - show under the drawn point it's longitude and latitude.

I can do it using text adding, but then when I resize the map, the text placement changes.

I want to put it like a label - let's say on the bottom right from the point.

I want it to be sensitive for zooming, and binded to the Point.

I read about dinamic labels, but it seems very complex for such a simple request.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use TextSymbol and set offset accordingly. Another option is to use FeatureLayer (from SQLite local geodatabase), edit data with Labels set and enabled. I did not try the second approach, but it should work.

Hope this helps a bit.
