address-to-locations-complete runs callback function repeatedly

AzizaParveen2 — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 17:54:57 GMT

Hi, I am using address-to-locations-complete event with our custom locator, now if I type wrong address or garbage address, and click find button, the locator task runs just fine and brought 0 result and then show an alert msg saying "Address not Found", first time it works fine but I input wrong address or garbage address again, the alert box comes up twice, and this goes on and on..which is very annoying, did any of you see this behavior? I will appreciate any help in this regard, thanks--AZIZA

I made a very simple bare bone app with only few lines of code in it, I am pretty sure you guys can replicate this issue.

var searchByAddress, showResultLocation;

require([

"esri/tasks/locator",

"dojo/domReady!"

], function (locator) {

esriConfig.defaults.io.alwaysUseProxy = false;

esriConfig.defaults.io.corsDetection = false;

esriConfig.defaults.io.corsEnabledServers.push("http://services.arcgisonline.com/");

esriConfig.defaults.io.corsEnabledServers.push("http://www.arcgis.com/");

var rvcLocator = new locator(locator);

searchByAddress = function () {

var address = {

SingleLine: document.getElementById("search").value

};

var options = {

address: address,

outFields: ["*"]

};

showResultLocation = function (evt) {

var resultLocations = evt.addresses.length;

if (resultLocations == 0) {

alert("No Address found");

return;

}

rvcLocator.on("address-to-locations-complete", showResultLocation);

rvcLocator.addressToLocations(options);

};

});

Aziza,

The reason is because you are adding the "address-to-locations-complete" function each time you run the search. So each time you search you are adding it again and thus the multiple alerts.
