I want to click on a point to display attributes from a feature server.  The only tutorial/sample I could find was from App Studio v1.4  sample on github and too much has changed to get it working.

Currently my code looks like this

        onMouseClicked: {
            var tolerance = 22;
            var returnPopupsOnly = false;
            var maximumResults = 1;
            mapView.identifyLayerWithMaxResults(featureLayer, mouse.x, mouse.y, tolerance, returnPopupsOnly, maximumResults);
        }
        onIdentifyLayerStatusChanged: {
            if (identifyLayerStatus === Enums.TaskStatusCompleted) {
        
                featureLayer.clearSelection();
                var identifiedObjects = [];
                for (var i = 0; i < identifyLayerResult.geoElements.length; i++){
                    var elem = identifyLayerResult.geoElements[i];
                    identifiedObjects.push(elem);
                }
                var count = identifyLayerResult.geoElements.length;
                featureLayer.selectFeatures(identifiedObjects);
            }
        }

Which is just code I took from the selecting feature app sample.

I have this code

                        onSelectFeaturesStatusChanged: {
                
                            if (selectFeaturesStatus === Enums.TaskStatusCompleted) {
                                if (!selectFeaturesResult.iterator.hasNext)
                                    return;
                                selectedFeature = selectFeaturesResult.iterator.next();
                                value= selectedFeature.attributes.attributeValue("attributeValue");
                                console.log(value)
                            }


but it does not get invoked because selectFeatures apparently doesn't call
onSelectFeaturesStatusChanged? 





I find this all very frustrating, this should be extremely simple to do but there is no documentation that has been properly maintained
That even suggests how to properly accomplish this.

Hi Kyle,

Sorry to hear that. Yes it is quite simple to get attributes from the GeoElement. GeoElement has a sub class called Feature and Feature provides a property called attributes which is a ListModel (the model name is AttributeListModel in Runtime) that has the attribute names and value listed.

However, showing it in a dialog or a popup is a UI aspect and it can vary on the users requirement. This can be done in many ways.

But just to give you a proof of concept I have provided a code snippet below for you to show how we can tweak the Feature Layer Selection Sample to show the feature attributes when you click on the feature. In this sample I have added a Dialog known as Pane which show all the attribute values along with the name using the AttributeListModel to show the attributes. 

property real scaleFactor: AppFramework.displayScaleFactor
    property string displayText: "Click or tap to select features."

    ListModel{
        id:displayAttributesModel
    }

    // Map view UI presentation at top
    MapView {
        id: mapView
        anchors {
            left: parent.left
            right: parent.right
            top: parent.top
            bottom: messageBar.top
        }
        wrapAroundMode: Enums.WrapAroundModeDisabled

        Map {
            id: map
            BasemapStreets {}

            FeatureLayer {
                id: featureLayer

                selectionColor: "cyan"
                selectionWidth: 3

                // feature table
                ServiceFeatureTable {
                    id: featureTable
                    url: "http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/DamageAssessment/FeatureServer/0"


                }               
            }

            onLoadStatusChanged: {
                if (loadStatus === Enums.LoadStatusLoaded) {
                    mapView.setViewpoint(viewPoint);
                }
            }
        }

        // initial viewpoint
        ViewpointCenter {
            id: viewPoint
            Point {

        //! [identify feature layer qml api snippet]
        onMouseClicked: {

            var maximumResults = 1000;
            mapView.identifyLayerWithMaxResults(featureLayer, mouse.x, mouse.y, tolerance, returnPopupsOnly, maximumResults);
        }

        onIdentifyLayerStatusChanged: {

                    var elem = identifyLayerResult.geoElements;
                    identifiedObjects.push(elem);
                    displayAttributesModel.append(elem);

                }
                // cache the number of identifyLayerResult
                var count = identifyLayerResult.geoElements.length;

                // select the features in the feature layer
                featureLayer.selectFeatures(identifiedObjects);
                displayText = "%1 %2 selected.".arg(count).arg(count > 1 ? "features" : "feature");

                            }

                    }
                }
            }


        }

    }

    Rectangle {
        id: messageBar
        anchors {
            left: parent.left
            right: parent.right
            bottom: parent.bottom
        }

        border {
            width: 0.5 * scaleFactor

        }

        Text {
            id: msgText
            anchors {
                verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
                left: parent.left
                leftMargin: 10 * scaleFactor
            }
            text: displayText
            font.pixelSize: 14 * scaleFactor
        }
    }

If you notice in the code I added a SwipeView within the Pane to accommodate multiple selected features. Hence you can swipe horizontally to get to the next feature attributes if you would like.

I hope you find this useful. Thank you.

What libraries are you importing to get this to work?

If you are using Appstudio 3.0. Then the sample should have the libraries listed below

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.1
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.1

import ArcGIS.AppFramework 1.0
import ArcGIS.AppFramework.Controls 1.0
import Esri.ArcGISRuntime 100.2

Thank you for your response

.

Is it possible to control which values are displayed? I don't want some of the fields being displayed visible
