Tocuh events with native map cn1lib

[nick.m...@gmail.com]

We are developing an app that allows the users to plot a location. They move around adding points to map out the boundary.
What I have been trying to do is make it so they can change the position of the points after they have been added.

I go something working in the simulator but it fails on an Android device.

Basically you can press an existing pin, which brings up a dialog with the option to 'move'. then the next touch event is translated to map coordinates and the pin is moved there. This is via a addPointerReleasedListener on the containing form.

Seems to work fine in the simulator, but on the device the map component seems to consume the event.

I also attempted to override the pointerPressed method on the map, but this seems to never be called in the simulator or on the device.

I had though about inserting an invisible container over the map when this move option is selected (with a layered layout) and then removing it after.

Any ideas how to get this functionality?

There is an RFE to add a touch API for Maps from one of the other pro-users. It should be doable in the native code.

I'll add your vote to it and promote the RFE.
