map moving when lifting finger off map

DewayneKorth1 — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 00:41:26 GMT

I have logged a problem with ESRI and they don't have a solution but created a bug ticket. The problem is that when I lift my finger off the map, the map moves. Making it impossible to actually center the map to an exact point. It only occurs on Android tablets and IPads. On smart phones we weren't able to re-create problem. I really need a work around in the mean time. So far the only work-around is to use version 3 which doesn't have this problem. I need to use version 3.1+ but each version after 3.0 has the problem. Anyone have a work around. Does panEasingFactor have something to do with it?

Can you try with the latest 3.4 release?
We tweaked the touch handling to prevent that problem.

I discovered the problem using agslib-3.4-2013-06-30/Flex 4.6/Air 3.5. It doesn't seem to occur on smart phones but does on Asus Pad Infinity Tablet and IPad 3.

Dewayne,
I know what you are talking about. I tend to just deal with it but if you really wanted to get around it you could assign a mouseMove event and a mouseUp event to the map in question.

So your mouseMove would look like.

myMap.panEnabled = true;

and your mouseUp

myMap.panEnabled = false;

Its obviously not a perfect solution but it lets you pan with precision.

Thank you! I figured there was a work-around besides reverting to 3.0.
