Good Day,

I have been using the code below to zoom to the device's location and add a point feature based on the device's current location by clicking any where on the screen. The feature is being added to the service table however there is no/null geometries for each point therefore it is not showing up on the map. How can I fix this?

Giatri, 

Can you check the "addFeatureStatus" property? As stated in this doc when calling "addFeature()" function. FeatureTable QML Type | ArcGIS for Developers 

It sounds like this type of question is best handled by Esri Technical Support‌ as it might require further troubleshooting. 

Thanks,

Erwin

Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that the problem lies in the mapView.locationDisplay.mapPoint;

 

  var feature = featureTable.createFeatureWithAttributes(featureAttributes, mapView.locationDisplay.mapPoint);

I came to this conclusion because if I replace
  var feature = featureTable.createFeatureWithAttributes(featureAttributes, mouse.mapPoint) I can add random features and it works fine.

What are your thoughts?

It could be. The addFeatureStatus would have made sure what's wrong. 

So mapView.locationDisplay.mapPoint return null or undefined? It sounds like you are already progressing towards the resolution.

This documentation, LocationDisplay QML Type | ArcGIS for Developers , explains that LocationDisplay does not have "mapPoint" property, maybe you could try "mapLocation" property instead?

I will try that and let you know. Thank you.

Hi,

I tried the "mapLocation" property

(var point = mapView.locationDisplay.mapLocation)

 and I am getting 0,0 now. In the greater scheme of things, atleast it's not null however still can't figure out why I can't get the correct geometry. Also, how do I check the addFeatureStatus?

The reason why it is returning 0,0 could be in the description of Location Display documentation, LocationDisplay QML Type | ArcGIS for Developers  

I still think that this type of question is best handled via Esri Technical Support‌, due to the nature of it and it requires more troubleshooting and back/forth. 

Thank you,

Erwin

Will check that out.

Yes I have put forward the question, however no one from the team replied.
