Google Street View for the Flex 3.0 API

andrewj_ca — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:32:07 GMT

Just posted the code for the updated 3.0 API for my Street View Widget. I have't had a chance to do the install instructions yet but I'm sure most of you will figure it out. Both source and compiled versions are included. Cheers,

Andrew,

You will want to go back into your content tab in ArcGIS online and edit your item to be Purpose: configurable and not Purpose: Code Sample, as it has now disappeared from the Flex Viewer code gallery because of this.

*EDIT* Must be the missing "widget" and "flexviewer" tags also because it is still not in the Flex Viewer Code Gallery!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for this widget, it work fine except with the WKID that i use (31370).

I have a difference of 100-200m.

Is there a solution that that i can try?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like going from 4326 to 31370 on the fly might be troublesome. I'm not familiar with Belgian Lambert but it may require a transformation to go from one to the other. Any Datum/Projection specialists out there want to weigh in?

Hi Andrew,

I added the compiled version to a Flex Viewer following directions in the readme file. Tool displays and I can add a point to the map, but the street view window doesn't show up at the bottom of the page. Any ideas?

ryanwendt,

Did you overwrite the index.html with the one I supplied?

I had the same issue and this fixed it. I had previous skipped that step because I didn't know what it did, and that scares me.

cdebruin,

The altered index.html does several things. First, it adds the Google API to the application and the required JavaScript. Second, it gives the flash object a standard name so that it can be referred to later in the code. Nothing scary there.

Yes I did overwrite the index.html with yours. Funny thing I noticed is that the widget works in the Preview mode for the Flex App Builder. I can't get it to work in IE or Firefox though.

Try this url:

I just opened it in Chrome, FireFox, Opera, Safari and IE8/9. It's the exact same as I posted.

The widget works for me in the link you sent. Not sure what the deal is with my Flex Apps.

Andrew,

Hey some good news, your widget started working in my flex app.

But the bad news is that it killed my Draw/Measure widget (see attachment). If I replace the index file and remove your widget the Draw/Measure works properly.

Andrew,
I also replaced the index file and the text on the buttons have disappeared. When I put my original index they reappear.

I too have been struggling getting this Street View Widget to work in 3.0. Like Ryan mentioned it works in Preview mode of the App Builder, but nothing happens when you click on a street in a web app. It does show a message at the bottom of the App Builder preview, "Could not find Google_Street_View widget module". Yet it appears to be working in spit of this message.

Any ideas?
