Using ArcGIS API for JavaScript in Mobile Applications

Pawan_KumarVenugopal — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:07:28 GMT

Hi,
We have a Web Application using ArcGIS Javascript API. I would like to know if the Same API can be used for Mobile Applications. Has anyone tried using the API for mobile applications.

I am planning to use Sencha touch, ArcGIS Javascript API. Does any one have any samples of using arcgis map with sencha touch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I have no idea about Sencha, but for your first question take a look at the Compact Build of the JS API.

I also work with ArcGIS, Google Api, SharePoint and Sencha Touch 2. If you are still interested let me know kevin@rgia.org

We're about to roll out our first mobile Javascript application based on the Find Nearby location example, which uses dojox mobile. It worked better on mobile devices that it did in the older browsers we have installed (IE7, IE8). I felt like I needed it to work in our browsers too, not just on mobile. The first thing people will do when you send out a notice of a new map is to try it out (no matter what device they happen to be using at the time!). I spent a fair amount of time debugging for IE and I ended up having to use a slightly older version of the Javascript library, which ended up working better for IE (used version 2.8).

Even though the example is written calling the iPhone CSS, it has been tested successfully on an Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry too. I don't know about Sencha touch.
