Dojox.Mobile.ComboBox does not respond to selection on Android

Question

I have developed a mobile web app using Dojox Mobile. One of my views contains several dojox.mobile.ComboBox controls that open the drop down as expected upon being clicked, but will not respond when I tap an entry in the drop down to select it. The drop down menu just stays open.

I am using Android version 4.1.2 on a Droid RAZR MAXX HD with Chrome version 26.0.1410.58.

The app is using the ESRI JavaScript API v3.4compact which includes dojo v1.8

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix or workaround?

Answer 1

I've tried dojox/mobile/tests/test_ComboBox.html on Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.2 using Dojo 1.8.3, and I did reproduce the issue you encountered with both Chrome and the platform browser.

On the other side, with both browsers it seems to work using the Dojo 1.9.0 rc2 (http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.9.0rc2/). So for now I would recommend upgrading to Dojo 1.9 if possible in your context.

If upgrading is not an option for you, I'd suggest that you open a ticket at http://trac.dojotoolkit.org.

Side-remark, dojox/mobile/ComboBox is flagged "experimental".
