Mobile Feature Layer Click Event

bmanghi — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 15:09:54 GMT

I'm trying to customize the map series template by changing the content of the infoTemplate for a feature layer, but I'm having trouble with the click event listener. I've added the listener to the feature layer after the webmap is loaded and it works fine on a desktop browser, but I get nothing on a mobile device (iPad). I thought maybe it was related to a mobile infoWindow or Popup, but I've tried debugging the iPad and it looks like the event listener isn't responding. Any insights or advice? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does it respond it you double click on it? Sometime touch devices will count a click or tap as a mouseover or hover event. This usually happens if the CSS has a hover selector or their is also a mouseover event for desktop that has not been disabled. You could look into using a gesture library for better event recognition on touch devices. This one might be easy to include since you already have access to the dojo library: dojox.gesture — The Dojo Toolkit - Reference Guide.

Doesn't respond on a double click, but I was able to attach the listener to the map and now it's working. Thanks for your response and I'll have to keep your suggestion in mind for future projects.
