The problem is that iOS does not process the contextmenu mouse event, as both Android and Windows do. Unfortunately unless you are using the Bower build, there is no current fix for the problem, as it requires a significant hack to the menu.js in dojo's digit directory. The dojo menu.js code that won't work in iOS:       on(cn, delegatedEvent(this.leftClickToOpen ? "click" : "contextmenu"), function(evt){ The fix requires a separate section of code for ios. First bring in the dojox/gesture/tap module to menu.js. Then as follows: //create a var for tap.hold with a long enough hold time to prevent from being activated on swipe gesture var myTap = new dojox.gesture.tap.Tap({holdThreshold: 1000}); //separate code for ios only: if(has("ios")){    var hammertime = Hammer(dom.byId("mapViewDiv_root"));    hammertime.get('press').set({       time: 1000,       pointers: 1,       threshold: 9       });   var self = this;    hammertime.on("press", function (e) {    var x, y;    x = e.center.x;    y = e.center.y;    self.myX = x;    self.myY = y;    });    var doConnects = lang.hitch(this, function(cn){       var selector = this.selector,       delegatedEvent = selector ?          function(eventType){ //the folowing is necessary to keep iOS from freezing any other click events on the map, due to using dojox/gesture            if(cn.className == "esriMapContainer"){                cn.dojoClick = true;} //end add          return on.selector(selector, eventType);          } :          function(eventType){                return eventType;             } //self= this not needed here since it is declared above         //  self = this;  return [       on(cn, delegatedEvent(this.leftClickToOpen ? "click" : myTap.hold), function(evt){             evt.stopPropagation();             evt.preventDefault(); //need to this to clear the element for other click events.Not sure why at this point:          query(dom.byId("mapViewDiv_root")).on(myTap.hold, function(e){e.preventDefault()}); //need to allow other node menu events to work as usual, thus separate code for the context menu          if(evt.target.nodeName == "svg"){                self._scheduleOpen(this, iframe, {x: self.myX, y: self.myY}, evt.target);                   }else{                self._scheduleOpen(this, iframe, {x: evt.pageX, y: evt.pageY}, evt.target);                  } //end altered/added code: the rest can be taken as written in menu.js.  I use an 'else' statement to move from 'has(ios)' to the original code for all other devices. Hammer.js is necessary as documented elsewhere due to dojox/gesture not returning screen coordinates. I hope this helps someone. Took me a few days to figure everything out. Unfortunately, I'm getting used to this. ... View more

Rene, I posted my comment before reading your response. The build report did help me as you indicated. Custom code is bit tricky to make work: perhaps a simple sample in the documentation might help. What I did specifically was to add a map to my app/widgets directory, and referred to it in the packages array: packages: [     // 'app' is a sample path for your application     // set this accordingly     'app',     'widget',     'dijit',     'dojo',     'dojox',     'dstore',     'dgrid',     'xstyle',     'put-selector',     'esri', {       name: 'moment',       location: 'moment',       main: 'moment',       trees: [           // don't bother with .hidden, tests, min, src, and templates           [".", ".", /(\/\.)|(~$)|(test|txt|src|min|templates)/]       ],       resourceTags: {         amd: function(filename, mid){           return /\.js$/.test(filename);         }       }     }   ],       map: {       '*': {         widget: "app/widget"       }     }, And in the include: include: [         // include the app, set accordingly for your application         'app/main',         'widget/SaraWidget',         'widget/SchoolsWidget',         'widget/utils/PopupExtended',         // dependencies of esri/map that will be requested if not included There were other syntax and argument errors that I fixed as well. Again, it was confusing in that the errors did not cause problems in dev environment, but all is well, at least for now! ... View more

Robert, Perfect! Thank you once again. ... View more

Hi Robert! Oh my gosh!  I told you it was probably something stupid!  I removed that and it works!!  Thank you, so, so much!  I really appreciate your help.  We love this tool and use it a lot in all of our maps!  Thanks, again, and have a great weekend! Julie ... View more

Yes, that worked! Thanks so much for the reference. OpenScales is a great resource. Jim Faron Austin Independent School District ... View more

Robert, Yes there must be something else at play, and it may be that this can only work within the mxml component. I am trying to do this in an action script class, and it never sends to the geometry service. So I guess I may create a new post to see if it is possible to use a geometry service in an action script class, i.e. not in mxml. Thanks again for the help.

Jim,    I really thought that I had that handled by this function:             protected function layerUpdateStartHandler(event:LayerEvent):void             {                 //once a layer starts to update,show the progressbar                 pb.visible = true;                 var lyr:Layer = event.layer;                 //If a ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer has Display Levels defined and the map has custom                 //LODs defined than it takes this extra work to determine if the layer is actually                 //drawing at this LOD and if not then just return and do not add this layer to the                 //layerColl                 var Lod:LOD = map.lods[map.level];                 if (lyr is ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer){                     var tLyr:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer = lyr as ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer;                     if(tLyr.displayLevels){                         var pLodFound:Boolean;                         for each(var tLod:LOD in layerTileInfoCache[tLyr]){                             if (tLod == Lod) pLodFound = true;                         }                         if(!pLodFound) return;                     }                 }                                 if(!lyr.isInScaleRange) return; //Which means that the layer never gets added to the collection                                 //add the layer to layer collection                 if (!layerColl.contains(lyr)){                     layerColl.addItem(lyr);                 }             } I will have look into it more when I get a chance. ...

Were you able to resolve this as I am having the same issues... ... View more

Not sure if this thread is the appropriate spot for this question, but I figured I would try here so I might get Robert's assistance.  I have Widget A, which when its processing is complete opens Widget B.  Using the recommendations from Robert's great Widget Communication document I use the following code to accomplish this. From Widget A var id_B:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("B"); var baseWidget_B:IBaseWidget = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(id_B, true) as IBaseWidget; This works correctly and Widget B opens.  However, with a new requirement, when Widget A has completed its processing I also need to open Widget C.  I use the following code var id_B:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("B"); var baseWidget_B:IBaseWidget = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(id_B, true) as IBaseWidget; var id_C:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("C"); var baseWidget_C:IBaseWidget = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(id_C, true) as IBaseWidget; Now, Widget C opens correctly, but Widget B no longer does.  It seems that I can only dispatch a single WIDGET_RUN event from Widget A.  If I comment out the code for opening Widget C, Widget B opens correctly.  I'm fairly new at developing with the Viewer so any insight on this behavior would be greatly appreciated. ...

Thanks for sharing your solution. I noticed that the link would revert back when opening the Data Grid, so be sure to open the SearchWidgetFloat(or Fixed)DG.mxml and edit the same lines of code. ... View more

Robert, Thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate it since I'm just getting into setting up applications with the flex viewer.  You have created some great tools for us to use. Nate ... View more
