Hello,

Is it possible with the SDK to discern the difference between programmatically panning/zooming the map and one actually touching and pinching the map?

I need to be able to tell the difference with my app.

1. Listening for the 'MapDidEndPanning' and 'MapDidEndZooming' event does not tell you whether or not the user panned/zoomed the map or whether or not you did so programmatically.
2. AGSMapViewTouchDelegate only provides methods for click, tap + hold, tap + hold + release, and tap + hold + move.

Thanks,
- Aaron

This question is not answered. I've been developing to the latest API for iOS and I still don't see a delegate function that fires on user touch pan and zoom. Basic stuff to know the user's interactions here. Clicking or tap and hold gives me nothing. Unless I'm missing something.

There is an interacting flag on AGSMapView for you to determine whether interaction with map is by user or not.

Interacting: Whether the map is currently being dragged, pinched, rotated or scrolled by the user.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nimesh...

What about pinch zoom functionality for touch screen Windows 7 tablets?  Will ArcReader for this environment eventually support pinch zooming?
