Create empty FeatureLayer and fill manually with items

[padmalcom]

We want to create an empty FeatureLayer in the new ArcGIS Maps SDK and fill it with items coming from our backend. Documentation only tells how to create a FeatureLayer from URLs or files (see https://developers.arcgis.com/kotlin/sample-code/add-feature-layers/).

We are on Maps SDK 200.1.

Can you help out?

Hi,
To work with data from external sources, you can also use a FeatureCollectionLayer. We don't have a sample yet for it in Kotlin 200.x, but here is an equivalent one in java in 100.x that can be translated to Kotlin.

Thanks

Thanks @RamaChintapalli, I managed to load our POIs into the FeatureCollectionLayer and display them.
