Bug with esri.Map inside dojox.mobile.View?

GeorgeSimpson · ‎09-04-2012

I'm having an issue when adding a Map inside a dojo mobile view. If I add the map directly to the view, the map will not show up, but I get the "attribution". If I add the map to a div inside a view, the div fills the screen, but the map will not fill the div. Is this a bug?

Hi,

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same issue.

Are you making sure the DOM is entirely loaded before adding the map?

So I saw you have two maps in two views. If one of the map is the default view(the first view when app starts), I guess it can be displayed properly.

If the map view is not visible at the beginning, you will end up with a map with width and height both set at 400px, and the map won't function properly as well. So can you check your width and height of the map?

I think this is not a problem of dojox.mobile.View. As long as your map object is attached to a hidden DOM node when starts up, you get this problem.

You can try to make a map view as default view to test, for example using your map2:

<div id="map2" data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.View" style="height:100%;" data-dojo-props="selected: true">
<h1 data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.Heading" data-dojo-props="fixed: 'top'">Map 2</h1>
<div id="mapdiv"></div>
</div>

And don't forget to set the width and height of your mapDiv to 100%

Perfect!! Makes sense really. Set my map's view as the default and now it initialises correctly. Thank you.

Cheers
