Widget controller at the bottom of the map not working when using custom layout

AndyB

Hi everyone,

I have an Experience Builder app with a widget controller at the bottom of the map, which I'm using on a mobile device. It works fine in "auto" layout mode but when I turn on "custom" layout, the widget controller doesn't work until I click on another map tool like measure or layers.

Does anyone know why that might happen? 

Steps to recreate :

- create a new Experience Builder app using the Launchpad template
- go to mobile view (small screen devices)
- change the layout to custom
- add the layers and measure map tools
- save and publish
- test on mobile (or mobile view in browser dev tools)
- try clicking on the widgets at the bottom of the screen. The widgets are not responsive.
- click on the map layers button (or the measure tool)
- click on the widgets at the bottom of the screen. Now it works!

Does anyone else have the same issue? Maybe I'm missing something! 

Cheers

Hi @AndyB - it seems like you had the same problem with a recent post here:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/experience-builder-widgets-unresponsive-on-smart/m-p/1208689#M5230

 

It seems like there is somehow an extra space generated. However, I believe you could utilize their updated configuration for now as a workaround - instead of putting the widget controller inside the map, try put it outside of it:

 

We will take a look at the issue.
