I have a situation that requires a little guidance.  I am creating a phone/tablet app that will provide a method for the user to click on a location and get information about that location.  I would like to provide a method for them to get directions to the location, and auto update as they drive.  With the existing Esri Network Analysis services being decommissioned in favor of the new World Routing service, which requires an ArcGIS Online subscription, how do I take advantage of this new service?  Do I have to create a single account for my app and pay for this feature, or do I have to have a user log in screen so the users can use their own individual accounts? ...

I am trying to set up a map element to have both a local tiled layer and a tiled map service layer and all I get is a blank white box instead of the maps.  What I am ultimately trying to do is support online and offline with no user interaction, if there is no internet access, use the local tiled layer, if there is use the Tiled map service.  But, I can't seem to get it to work in this most basic sense.  I have tried adding the layer at runtime and I get the same blank white box. ...

I am working on my first Python Add-In and am having a couple issues.  What I am trying to do is create a tool that will allow the user to click somewhere on the map and take the map coordinates to create a circle with a predefined radius, fill out some default values, insert it into a SDE feature class, then select the feature to display it's attributes in the attribute editor.  This all works pretty well. The problem is related to editing.  I would like for the tool to be disabled if the feature class is not editable or if the layer is not in the current map document.  I am also struggling with the edit state.  If I start editing and run my tool I get this message: The requested operation is invalid on a closed state.  If I make at least one edit, I can run the tool just fine.  def onMouseDownMap(self, x, y, button, shift):         mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')         df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, 'Layers')[0]         fc = ''         for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,'*', df):             if lyr.supports("dataSource"):                 lyrSource = lyr.dataSource.split("\\")                 if lyrSource[3] == 'zodiac.GIS.IPCoROW':                     fc = lyr.dataSource                     rowLayer = lyr                     break         # set the radius of the circle         radius = 20         # set the number of sides/vertices the circle will have         side_count = 40         # create the degrees for the circle         degrees = 360 / side_count         # create a list to hold each vertice point for the circle         cir_poly = []         # loop through the number of sides         for i in range(side_count):             # set the angle for the current vertice             angle = (degrees * i) * (math.pi / 180)             # do some math to set the xFactor and the yFactor             xFactor = math.sin(angle)             yFactor = math.cos(angle)             # set the x and y vertices             xVal = radius * xFactor + x             yVal = radius * yFactor + y             # create a arcpy point             pnt = arcpy.Point(xVal,yVal)             # add the point to the list             cir_poly.append(pnt)         # create an array and add the list to it         array = arcpy.Array([cir_poly])         # create a polygon from the array of points         polygon = arcpy.Polygon(array)                 # set the path to the IPCoROW layer         #fc = r"Database Connections\Connection to landbaseProd.sde\zodiac.GIS.Land\zodiac.GIS.IPCoROW"         if len(fc) > 0:                         try:                 # create the insert cursor to be used to add our new circle                 print 'Create Insert Cursor'                 with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, ["SHAPE@","OwnerType","ConvType","SOURCE","Comments"]) as c:                     # insert the circle with attributes into the IPCoROW layer                     print 'Insert Row'                     i = c.insertRow([polygon, 'ROW','Easement','DIGITIZED','INSUFFICIENT DATA'])                     print 'OID =',i                                     # refresh the active view to show the new feature                 arcpy.RefreshActiveView()                 print 'Select Features'                 arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management (rowLayer, "NEW_SELECTION", "OBJECTID = " + str(i))             except Exception, e:                 # if there was an error, print it here                 # common errors include:                 # attempting to edit outside an edit session                 # attempting to edit prior to making any other edits                 print 'Error -', e             finally:                 pass         else:             print 'Could not find zodiac.GIS.IPCoROW' ...

I would like to use the attribute editor component to create an attributed related record.  But, I am not sure how to set this up. The Esri example of creating a related record does not use the attribute inspector, so I can't use that as my starting point. I would like the user to select a feature, then click a button to create a related record.  To create that related record, I would like to use the attribute inspector so I can use the default editing components, all my fields are domained.  As of now, I am just creating an object of all the attribues, creating a graphic, assigning that object to the graphic's attributes property, then using a feature layer to apply the edits. ...

I am getting an error message that I have never seen before.  I am using a datagrid to hold the attributes, including the geometry of a graphic, and allowing the user to double-click the row to zoom to the feature.  On some features when I zoom in from the full extent, the screen goes black then white with a big exclamation point in the center.  However, when I zoom in and then try to double-click to zoom there is no error.  I have found an Adobe forum post, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/693187, pointing out that this is the out of memory notification of the Flash player. The error you are seeing is the new out of memory notification. It is basically shielding the user when memory usage gets near the system resource cap. The best course of action here (if you own the content) is to check your application for high memory usage and correct the errors. If you don't own the content, it would probably be best to contact the owners and make them aware of the issue you are seeing. Could memory really be the issue in such a simple application? I have included a short video clip of what happens. ... View more

I am attempting to use the find task to search an entire service for a value.  I search 4 fields from 22 layers (3 of which are group layers) using the contains parameter = true.  When I send a request that I know is going to return a large number of results (around 1000) it times out.  If I narrow that search it does not time out.  And sometimes the larger request works.  I set my timeout to 180 seconds and my max returned records to 2000 for the service.  In a browser through the REST services folder running on the ArcGIS Server host machine I get the more detailed error message indicating the request timed out. [h=2]Request timed out.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.
