Loading KML with Tiled Map Service

jeremygoins — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 12:12:23 GMT

I'm new to the ArcGIS API. I have experience with Google Earth API so please bare with me on this question as it might be simple. Below is my attached codepen I can't figure out why the KML will not show up when I use the Tiled Map service with adding the KML. I suspect that it is being placed behind the REST map, but I'm not entirely sure.

Could someone point me in the right direction or provide some input.

Jeremy,

Try setting your basemap in the map's constructor. That's one way to solve it!

Actually, I was incorrect... it's this bit of code that's preventing the KML from rendering:

    kml.on("load", function() {
      domStyle.set("loading", "display", "none");
    });

But, you can still set-up the basemap in the map constructor as an alternative way to show the topo layer. If you are curious, here's how it would look:

    map = new Map("map", { 
      basemap: "topo"
    });

Many ways to skin a cat in the ArcGIS JSAPI!

I failed to mention I'm behind a firewall and need to utilize my ArcGIS REST server. I can see that the code wants to go to the services.arcgisonline.com REST server.

Jeremy,

Straight from the KMLLayer docs:

Note: The KMLLayer uses a utility service from ArcGIS.com, therefore your kml/kmz must be publicly accessible on the internet. If your kml/kmz files are behind the firewall you will need to set the esriConfig.defaults.kmlService to your own utility service. (Requires Portal for ArcGIS).

I know and researched this information regarding the loading of KMLLayers. I have my KML rendering to the internal server with the esri/config code to achieve this.

However it is hit or miss when it renders so I assumed it was the REST services causing this problem or my coding.

Thank removined the on load piece resolved this issue and I can still use my REST services. Much appreciated.
