The My Content page lets me add a Geocoding Service that I published on my own server but I don't see any way to use this service in my ArcGIS Online hosted apps. Being just introduced to Online at the User Conference I am trying to figure how it fits it over all. Do these Web Apps created from our hosted Web Maps allow substitution of our own geocoding services? Is there the ability to perhaps add buttons or tools? I see where it mentions the ability to develop with ArcGIS Online but then it refers us back to the more standard Web API's, so when they say develop with ArcGIS Online are we saying, basically, we can refer to the parts of ArcGIS online but in our own servers?
Sorry for the long post, trying to get a handle on how in depth we can get with this new service.
The web application templates that you can create a hosted application from have some out-of-the-box customization ability. However, if you want to do things like specify your own geocode service or add buttons/tools, you would need to download the applications and make the necessary modifications. Then, you'd publish the application to your own web server. The application can still access web maps stored in ArcGIS Online. Take a look at the many samples in the documentation for the JavaScript API.
