Feature layer show attributes

Return all loaded features from a query to show all attributes.

Feature Layer Show Attributes App

Use case

Attributes can be used to help describe the objects represented by a feature. A geologist might use an attribute to describe the rock type of polygons representing surface geology. Archaeologists might use attributes to record the stratigraphic layer of finds represented as point features.

How to use the sample

Tap on a feature to see its attributes in a callout.

How it works

  1. Create an instance of a ServiceFeatureTable.
  2. Identify selected features with mMapView.identifyLayerAsync(...) and pass in the feature layer and tapped location to get all of the attributes for the feature at that location.
  3. Get the IdentifyLayerResult and iterate through the results to display each attribute in a callout.
