Pinch Zoom on Android

KarenRobine — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:34:00 GMT

We've had some issues getting the pinch/zoom (touch gesture) functionality to work on Android devices (Samsung Galaxy Smartphones; ie., S3). I'm running JavaScript API 3.5. Even the ESRI HTML5/Mobile samples seem problematic on these devices. I can occasionally zoom in and out but not all the time. Is anyone else seeing similar issues? Ideas on how to fix the problem? We've tested on older IPhones and pinch/zoom works perfectly. I've also noticed that this functionality works great on IPads.

We found that pinch-zoom wasn't working when using Chrome on Android devices. Other browsers on Android and other OSs seem OK.

ESRI has replicated this:

We just got a Nexus 7 tablet (high-resolution screen, July 2013 model), and the pinch/zoom works fine. Still doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy phone (although I can occasionally get it to zoom in).
