We use scripts (python toolbox) to publish our map and geoprocessing services. For most of our services, we use the default service setting.  In order to set custom properties (like dynamic layers), we store the custom properties in a json config file. After the service is published, we fetch the service properties using the a call to the Admin API, edit the fetched json object using the stored file, then apply the edits by making another call to the Admin API.   ...

I don't think you can.  ArcGIS Online maps use a default for all query tasks.  It looks like the app creates a buffer (actually an envelope) around the click point .  I doubt it can be updated.  ... View more

Could you use the elevation profile widget as an example? Something like this: http://www.arcgis.com/apps/Elevations/index.html?webmap=8dd583ea3de64e40b92ea5a261d0c6c8 ... View more

Ok, I think I tracked it down to the root of the problem.  It appears to be caused by the following lines of code in "dojox/mobile/common", which is called by "dojox/mobile/View".     // tell dojo/touch to generate synthetic clicks immediately     // and regardless of preventDefault() calls on touch events     win.doc.dojoClick = true;     /// ... but let user disable this by removing dojoClick from the document     if(has("touch")){         // Do we need to send synthetic clicks when preventDefault() is called on touch events?         // This is normally true on anything except Android 4.1+ and IE10+, but users reported         // exceptions like Galaxy Note 2. So let's use a has("clicks-prevented") flag, and let         // applications override it through data-dojo-config="has:{'clicks-prevented':true}" if needed.         has.add("clicks-prevented", !(has("android") >= 4.1 || (has("ie") === 10) || (!has("ie") && has("trident") > 6)));         if(has("clicks-prevented")){             dm._sendClick = function(target, e){                 // dojo/touch will send a click if dojoClick is set, so don't do it again.                 for(var node = target; node; node = node.parentNode){                     if(node.dojoClick){                         return;                     }                 }                 var ev = win.doc.createEvent("MouseEvents");                 ev.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, win.global, 1, e.screenX, e.screenY, e.clientX, e.clientY);                 target.dispatchEvent(ev);             };         }     } Looks like I might be able to override it for the map or feature layer.  Or maybe the whole page.  Not sure. ...

I like the concept, but it seems like a slippery slope when it comes to implementation.  I need it to behave like a map or feature layer click event. I would need to fetch the underlying graphics and code for the difference between a short click, long click, pan, etc.  Doable, but a potential maintenance nightmare.  I'm curious why this stopped working at version 3.11.  There was a move to Dojo 1.10 at this point.  I doesn't look like there is any functional difference between the the 1.9 and 1.10 version of dojo.mobile.View, so I suspect the issue is in the Javascript API. I guess I'm leaning towards rolling back to version JSAPI 3.10 or trying a different mobile framework.   ... View more

I noticed the errors when emulating as well.  I'm not too concerned about them since they are the same for both apple and android.  The problem is intermittent.  Once in a while I can get a event to fire, but rarely.  You can view the app I'm working on at this link: Sunrise/Sunset Times by Zone It works fine on my desktop and on IOS devices, but not on Android. ...

Are you refreshing the browser when you switch devices?  That is required on my end. If I do so, it works in the Apple devices, but not the Samsung or Google Nexus devices.  ... View more

You'll need to wait for the basemap to load before using the 'remove' function. basemapGallery.on('load',function(){   basemapGallery.remove('basemap_2');   basemapGallery.remove('basemap_9'); }); basemapGallery.startup(); ... View more
