Can I attach other events to a map?

JimWharton

I need to attach either a double-tap/click or a long press to a map that I'm using on a mobile device. Currently double-clicking is not supported on mobile devices. I can include doubleTap.js but it won't attach to a map:

var pick = on(map, 'dbltap', function(evt) {
            Event.stop(evt);
            var latLng = webMercatorUtils.xyToLngLat(evt.mapPoint.x, evt.mapPoint.y);
            var location = {};
            coords = {
              latitude: latLng[1],
              longitude: latLng[0],
              accuracy:null,
              heading:null
            };
            var locationInfo = {
              coords:coords,
              point: evt.mapPoint
            };
            pick.remove();
            topic.publish('location-picked', locationInfo);
            menus.hideTapAndHoldDialog();
          });

Dojo provides a gestures library in DojoX, but it also will not work when trying to attach a listener to a map.

on(map, tap.hold, function(e){//does not fire})

The API states a bunch of events that the map object honors, but I need to let a user pan, zoom and then double-click/press and hold to get a point. I've asked a similar question below, but I just need to know if we are completely limited to the events offered.

ok yeah doesn't look like you're using the map 'click' event as well.  i figured out a fix to have both coexist.  basically when a hold fires I set a variable so that when the click happens after finger release or mouse up I can bail out of the click action if the var is set
