To avoid having to reset all the widget references manually what you could do instead is post an update to portal with your webmap json with additional layers using var portal = portalUtils.getPortal(this.appConfig.portalUrl);         portal.getUser().then(lang.hitch(this, function (user) {           user.updateItem(this.map.itemId, argsUpdate).then(lang.hitch(this, function (updateItem) {                //if want to reload with what just pushed to portal                topic.publish('appConfigChanged', this.appConfig, 'mapChange'); //this will trigger map update which will refresh page and hence all the widgets           })); })); I have done something similar and sniffed out the structure of the json for webmap in fiddler. I then just update the json object with my changes. If you want to make a brand new web map, I would suggest add an item and then update appConfig and call the change event user.addItem(args, '').then(lang.hitch(this, function (newItem) {      if (newItem.success) {           var itemId = newItem.id;           this.appConfig.map.itemId = itemId;           topic.publish('appConfigChanged', this.appConfig, 'mapChange'); //this will trigger map update which will refresh page and hence all the widgets      } })); it is a page refresh but you no long have to deal with destroying, recreating dom as well as updating all the widget references to webmap ...

Awesome job. I was suspicious it was using topic underneath. My initial workaround was to sadly extent widgetManager to "listen" for my topic.publish and then check on widget load if that widget wanted that info. not what i want to do but getting a demo going to client- fine for now. Another thought i had was looking into the dojo datastore. ... View more

I ran into same issue with FetchDataByName with this.widgetManager is out of scope for the BaseWidget. I am disappointed to hear both widgets have to be open and I cannot use your workaround for out-of-panel. I was really hoping to use this for following workflow: widget opens and attempts to fetchDataByName from another app that may or may not be open. if not, do nothing. If second widget does get opened later on and new data is published my first widget receives it from the onReceiveData method. ... View more

Instead of trying to override the entire attribute dictionary object, try to update each of the fields like so: CurrentFeatureGraphic.attributes = graphicAttributes; [graphicAttributes setObject:MarkupDescription.text forKey:@"Description"]; ... View more

There are two other options. You can turn your table into a feature layer with null geometry. Or you can create you own sync process. This involves creating a custom web service that would process the data being uploaded and well as have some mechanism (time stamp fields) to then push down any changes to the devices local copy of the tables. ...

You can create a new envelope using the Envelope Constructor(Coordinate,Double,Double) where coordinate is your point first double is the width second double is the height Basically create a extent for your point. What width and height will be depends on how zoomed in you want. I have used like 25 feet for width and height in one of my apps. Then just pass into Map.ZoomTo() ... View more

one more thing- pmf files are typically created through a check out process in ArcMap. I am wiling to bet you there are existing mxds for those maps. I would contact the person who manages creating those pmf files. And if so- can just use those to publish to argis online. ... View more

Hi, I looked out your public website and I looks like it is using ArcGIS Server .NET ADF. I know this is probably too technically jargen but essential it looks like you already have ArcGIS Server and have a map service- basically what this does is send to website images of map based on scale and extent requested. And it uses a ArcMap mxd or msd file to create the service. Do you know who manages this site? They can probably be of help because .pmf files cannot be read by any iOS app. That format can only be read by ArcReader (which I believe only runs on PCs). You will have to publish your maps (map services) on ArcGIS online so you can access them through the ArcGIS app. I believe you can restrict who can access them. Or you could build your own custom app either through ESRI iOS API or through the new Flex AIR stuff or using htlm, javascript and PhoneGap. What I would do is found out who manages your public website. Tell them what you want and they can give you more detail about how to do it (hopefully). Or RFP out (I do this work all the time as do many others). I hope I am not making your head spin more but unforunately you need someone who has some more GIS and application development knowledge to help you layout the path to getting these maps accessable via iphone/ipad/mac. I am sure there is at least one person in your organization who does. It can absolutely be done- no question about that. ... View more
