SketchEditor - prevent shape rotation?

SteveMiller4

I'm using the SketchEditor to create a selection UI. This works great except that when users rotate the map, the rectangular envelope that is created by the SketchEditor rotates as well. Is there some way to prevent the SketchEditor shapes from rotating the shapes it draws, when the map rotates?

For those that are interested, this question was about dragging a selection rectangle that's always aligned with the screen, regardless of the rotation of the map.

The suggested solution was to use the AGSGeoViewTouchDelegate methods that deal with drag interactions.

1. Implement didTouchDownAt() and call the completion handler with true. This tells Runtime you want to handle interactions for a bit. The screenPoint will be the fixed corner of a selection rectangle.
2. Handle didTouchDragToScreenPoint(). This will give you the opposite corner of the rectangle. From the original screen coordinate and the screen coordinate passed in here, you can define the 4 screen coordinates of the rectangle (it's aligned with the screen). Use AGSMapView.screenToLocation() to turn those into map coordinates of a polygon to display as an AGSGraphic on the map view.
3. On didTouchUpAt(), perform the selection. Once this method returns, Runtime will resume handling map interactions.
