Worth Lutz,
GeoExt2 is not directly compatible with Sencha Touch 2. It is compatible with ExtJS4. You're correct, there are differences between the 2 MVC models and class definition syntax used in those 2 libraries from Sencha. GXM (GeoExt Mobile) is compatible with Sencha Touch 2. Therefore, if you are trying to do Sencha Touch based applications, you would be best served by looking at the GXM library and using it instead.

GXM on GitHub : https://github.com/geoext/GXM

Please feel free to post further problems to the GeoExt users list:

or if it is about extending or improving the GXM or GeoExt libraries, this list ([email protected])

Greetings,

I'd like to introduce myself to this list. My name is Worth Lutz and I am working with Sencha extjs and touch. I have tried to use GeoExt2 as most of my work involves mapping. Most of my mapping is done with MapServer serving up single maps directly to my custom client application. I am using Sencha Architect to develop the application.

I have tried to integrate GeoExt2 into a new application I am developing. Due to the asynchronous nature of the Sencha MVC model the current GeoExt2 classes do not integrate well. As such I have used your work as an example to developing some new classes.

I currently have a Maps store, and an OpenLayersMap container. The The reason "OpenLayers" is in the name is that I have a "MapServer" map class as well which handles single image maps. As I am not completely familiar with OpenLayers, I am having a slow start at getting this working.

Currently I have a map loading into the store and then into the container in my application. The map is described in a JSON file loaded by the store.

What I am wondering is if maybe I could submit my work here and help provide some more classes for GeoExt. Also maybe I'd then get some feedback where I might be straying off in the wrong direction.

If this sounds like a good idea, please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks,

Worth Lutz
