Hello,

  I am using the flex api to create a mobile app that lets you add/edit features.  When I test app in flash builder everything works fine.  I can add points and select them to edit.  Once I install app on device (Motorola Xoom)  I can add features but i can't select the to edit.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Haven't had a response on here but after the initial post I have noticed some things that may help lead to a solution. First I am using the lastest version of the api.  I have run the app on the XOOM and the Galaxy tab 10.1.  Something i have noticed is that on the Galaxy tab it is easier to select a feature after it has been placed but on both devices it seems that you have to be zoomed in to the maximum extent to even begin selecting a feature.  Sometimes it will select the feature on one tap some times it is a double tap.  Selecting polygons is easier to do than both lines and points.  Selecting lines is next to impossible. on these devices.  From continous trail and error it seems like with points you have to make sure you press on the centerpoint.  Hopes this helps.

Hi,

I'm going to start building a new mobile app with add/edit capabilities; And was wondering if you can share some insight. I am not able to use the esri:Editor apparently because it uses certain mx components. How did you come up with your solution, all custom code? Would you be able to share your interface?

Regards,
Hooman

"if you are using certain mx components, you will need to include the mx.swc among the project libraries. You might also want to include sparkskins.swc."

I started to work on a mobile application that could do what you are talking about, but found when you add a feature to the map with the editor enabled it creates a really wide info-window. I could control the size of the info-window, but when you enable editing on the attributes it created different behavior on the info-window size. Not sure if anyone has been able to resolve that issue.
