I've been tasked with coming up with an appropriate way to map curb ramps and other ADA orientated assets around the city. I have been in contact with San Francisco who has recently tackled such a project but I was wondering if anyone else has worked with this sort of information before. Specifically, I want to be able to use this data to help show our efforts to become ADA compliant around the city.

I'm having an odd issue with the identify widget in 3.1. In my first two upgrades, this widget performs as expected. With the third nothing happens when I click on something as if it is not recognizing the layers as being present in the map. For the name I am taking it directly from the Services directory and for the field names I am using the aliases in the the services directory. Below is my widget config file. I'm not returning any errors and the main config file references IdentifyWidget_1 which is what is below. <?xml version="1.0" ?>

Hello everyone, Just wanted to drop by and update everyone on the status of this issue. There are two problems with the search component: 1. Expecting display extent output fields (Geographic), which will fail if a custom locator does not have these set since it will erroneously create an extent with the following coordinates (0,0,0,0). See Heather's workaround for this. 2a. Not projecting stored search results that might have a different spatial reference than the map. The only way to work around this is to avoid using stored search results (shown when typing) and always perform a search and selecting from the displayed search results (applies only to maps in Geographic or Web Mercator). 2b. Not projecting the result extent coordinates if the map is not in Geographic or Web Mercator. I'll push the fix to our GitHub repository as soon as it's been tested and verified. Thank you for your patience and I apologize for the inconvenience. My issue is definitely 2b. Heather's workaround didn't work for me either.

I got tired of doing that and just created a favorite. I don't know what browser you tend to use but in IE 9 you can even use the favorites bar. Looks like Firefox 17 has someting similar and Chrome Version 23 does as well.

K M, I think I could live with what you are proposing. It just seems insane to me that in order to do GIS you have to also at least have a grasp on the various programming languages. I know just enough to get by on several languages but I don't know enough to do anything very interesting. My very small amount of experience working with javascript has been quite painful and the various samples don't just simply combine. For instance, when I first started, I found an example of using a basemap and then when I tried to overlay my operational (dynamic) layers nothing happened. After more research I figured out what I had done incorrectly. I have seen the example of a web app that looks like Flex but is actually Javascript and this is basically what I'd like to do.

But the point is that I am not a developer and don't have a developer at my disposal. I use the App Builder to set up the app and then do customizations afterwards. I still require the compiled code. If I am asked to do something more advanced I'd have to turn to a third party developer. The viewers have saved me a lot of money and a lot of heartburn. I just feel that Esri isn't doing enough for us non-developers that want to be able use mobile devices to share GIS data.

A new problem has come up for me. I can't seem to pan on my Android smartphone. I am able to zoom but not pan. If I can't pan then there isn't much point in trying to develop a webmap for mobile. I looked through the readme and can't find any mention of this. PLEASE Esri, create a viewer that is configurable for Javascript and HTML5. Also, I entered a URL for my geocoder and now the search box disappears. We need more options for Mobile. I have a field guy using ArcGIS for Android for now but it doesn't have many options.

try adding the Url below at line 123 of the index.html //Modify this to point to your sharing service URL if you are using the portal
sharingurl: "http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items",
//specify a group in ArcGIS.com that contains the basemaps to display in the basemap gallery I did eventually find this in the readme document but it was under Specify map options. It should be under configure the application right under #3 where it tells you to put in your webmap id. I was just trying to make sure it worked before I tried to "specify map options". Thanks for pointing this out to me.

I'm a bit confused I tried out the basic viewer and I always get an error message. I did what the template readme said and I always get the attached error. I first tried it with my own webmap id and that didn't work so I used the one that came with the viewer and I still get the same error.

I'm not a developer but I've run into something recently. I discovered that Adobe no longer supports Flash on mobile and therefore not Flex. I've been working with the Flex Viewer but I discovered the viewer can not be seen on mobile devices. So, that leads me to the next step. I've read forums and blog posts that suggest everything is moving towards HTML5 and I guess JavaScript. Are there any intentions to create a JavaScript Viewer or an HTML5 viewer similar to Flex and Silverlight? I've tried out the ArcGIS for Android and while it gets the basic functions still leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone have any suggestions or places to point to that would allow a fully functional web app on mobile and still be as easy to use as the Flex Viewer?

Thanks, honestly I'd much rather use this search than the locator widget. I think it will more intuitive to my users who just want to quickly go to a certain address and spend 30 seconds there and then close the map. Other widgets (except print) are more for power users. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I'm not using Geographic or Web Mercator. We don't use those systems at city level, not accurate/precise enough.
