Print nothing instead of nil - swift

I created a view that shows the users location on a map and displays the users location in two labels in the view. Its not always there is a subThoroughfare, so "nil" is printed in in the labels. What can I do to just print in nothing instead of "nil" in the label?
Thanks for your help
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
import MapKit
class Kart: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate, MKMapViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var myMap: MKMapView!
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
#IBOutlet var adress: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var adress2: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) {
println("Feil")
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!) {
var userLocation:CLLocation = locations[0] as! CLLocation
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
let location = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: userLocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: userLocation.coordinate.longitude)
let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.01, 0.01)
let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location, span: span)
myMap.setRegion(region, animated: true)
CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(userLocation, completionHandler: { (placemarks, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
println(error)
} else {
if let p = CLPlacemark(placemark: placemarks?[0] as! CLPlacemark) {
var subThoroughfare:String = ""
if (p.subThoroughfare != nil) {
subThoroughfare = p.subThoroughfare
}
self.adress.text = "\(p.thoroughfare) \(p.subThoroughfare)"
self.adress2.text = " \(p.postalCode) \(p.subLocality)"
}
}
})
}

self.adress.text = "\(p.thoroughfare) \(p.subThoroughfare)"
uses p.subThoroughfare instead of subThoroughfare. Also, you can use the nil coalescing operator for this (??)
var subThoroughfare = p.subThoroughfare ?? ""
will evaluate to p.subThoroughfare if it is not nil, otherwise it will evaluate to ""
so:
var subThoroughfare = p.subThoroughfare ?? ""
self.adress.text = "\(p.thoroughfare) \(subThoroughfare)"
self.adress2.text = " \(p.postalCode) \(p.subLocality)"

Move the line that prints subThoroughfare into your if statement:
if (p.subThoroughfare != nil) {
subThoroughfare = p.subThoroughfare
self.adress.text = "\(p.thoroughfare) \(p.subThoroughfare)"
}
else
self.adress.text = "\(p.thoroughfare)"
Also: It doesn't look like you're using that subThoroughfare variable.

How to replace new location coordinates in current location coordinates in MKMapView in swift

I am using map in Two viewcontrollers
Initially in first viewcontroller i am getting current location in map..
in second viewcontroller i am getting new location coordinates, which i am sending to firstview controller using delegate.. but here how to replace the delegate method coordinates with current location coordinates in first view controller
first view controller code: here in delegate method i am successfully having new location coordinates which i need replace with current location
in userDidEnterInformationdelegate method i am getting all values from 2nd view controller
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
import MapKit
class ProfileAddressViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate, UISearchBarDelegate, DataEnteredDelegate {
var coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2D()
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var latitude: Double?
var logitude: Double?
#IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {

locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
func userDidEnterInformation(info: DataEnteredModelSave) {
print("map address viewcontroller data \(info)")

mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
let myAnnotation: MKPointAnnotation = MKPointAnnotation()
myAnnotation.coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(userLocation.coordinate.latitude, userLocation.coordinate.longitude);
myAnnotation.title = "Current location"
mapView.addAnnotation(myAnnotation)
}
}
please help me to add delegate method latitude and longitude in locationManager didUpdateLocations
Replace userDidEnterInformation with below code:
func userDidEnterInformation(info: DataEnteredModelSave) {
print("map address viewcontroller data \(info)")
self.pincodeField.text = info.pinCode
self.streetField.text = info.streetField
self.cityField.text = info.cityField
self.latitude = info.zLatitude
self.logitude = info.zLongitude
print("map address viewcontroller data info lat long \(self.latitude) \(self.logitude)")
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation() //stop updating location when you got data from delegate
let userLocation = CLLocation.init(latitude: latitude!, longitude: logitude!)
let geocoder = CLGeocoder()
geocoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(userLocation) { (placemarks, error) in
if (error != nil){
print("error in reverseGeocode")
}
let placemark = placemarks! as [CLPlacemark]
if placemark.count>0{
let placemark = placemarks![0]
print(placemark.locality!)
print(placemark.administrativeArea!)
print(placemark.country!)
let placemarkDictonary: NSDictionary=placemark.addressDictionary as! NSDictionary
self.pincodeField.text=placemarkDictonary["ZIP"] as? String
self.cityField.text=placemarkDictonary["City"] as? String
self.plotField.text=placemarkDictonary["Name"] as? String
self.streetField.text=placemarkDictonary["Street"] as? String
self.appormentNoField.text=placemarkDictonary["SubThoroughfare"] as? String
self.colonyField.text=placemarkDictonary["SubLocality"] as? String
self.landmarkField.text=placemarkDictonary["SubThoroughfare"] as? String
}
}
let center = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude!, longitude: logitude!)
//Assign data to map again with new location
let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: center, span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.01, longitudeDelta: 0.01))
mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
let myAnnotation: MKPointAnnotation = MKPointAnnotation()
myAnnotation.coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(latitude!, logitude!)
myAnnotation.title = "Current location"
mapView.addAnnotation(myAnnotation)
}
I have added comments please check them.
EDIT: As per your second request if you want to show new coordinates on NewZoomAddressViewController first you need to pass coordinates to NewZoomAddressViewController in submitButtonClicked method like:
viewController.latestLocation = CLLocation.init(latitude: self.latitude!, longitude: self.logitude!)
then in NewZoomAddressViewController declare new var
var latestLocation: CLLocation?
and remove other code which is related to user's current location and final code will look like:

Getting user's location not working after Swift 4 update

I've just updated to the Xcode 9 and Swift 4 and it has broken at lot of my functions. One of which being how I get the user's location, zoom in on it on launch, detecting annotation selection and various other tasks. They don't work at all. My view controller class code is below.

First add these property in info.plist
<key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>description1</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>description2</string>
<key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key>
<string>description3</string>
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>accept to get location</string>
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
And then after copy this view controller in your project
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController,CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager:CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
determineMyCurrentLocation()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
func determineMyCurrentLocation() {
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager!.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager!.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false
let value = locationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didStartMonitoringFor region: CLRegion) {
print("ankur :- \(region)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let userLocation:CLLocation = locations[0] as CLLocation
print("user latitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.latitude)")
print("user longitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.longitude)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error)
{
print("Error \(error)")
}
}
Last step :- Open Capabilities -> In background modes -> click on location updates
If any query comment it
You need to add these keys in info plist :
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>location</string>
</array>

locationManager not being recognized as a class variable

I am trying to implement the locationManager methods and the let locationManager = CLLocation() variable is not being recognized anywhere in the code.

I have not found an answer after a while now. Help is going to be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Remove the top-level closing brace somewhere on line 75 and everything will be fine, it builds for me, the thing is it sees these functions as global ones.

How to find the user's location in swift?

Hello I am developing an application for ios and one of it's functions has to find the user's current location. Here is my code:
import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation
import SwiftyJSON
struct City {
let name : String
let location : CLLocation
let description :String
let imageName : String
func distanceTo(location:CLLocation) -> Int
{
let distanceMeters = location.distanceFromLocation(self.location)
let distanceKilometers = distanceMeters / 1000.00
return Int(round(100 * distanceKilometers) / 100)
}
}
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var LabelTest: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var Slider: UISlider!
#IBOutlet weak var LabelValueSlider: UILabel!
var MySliderCurrentValue = Double()
var manager = CLLocationManager()
var userLoc: CLLocationCoordinate2D!
{
willSet{
self.orderCitysByProximity()
self.filterCitysByProximity(Int(self.Slider.value))
self.LocateMe(manager)
}
}
var cities = [City]()
var nearbyCities = [City]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
let path: String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("cities", ofType: "json") as String!
let jsonData = NSData(contentsOfFile: path) as NSData!
//let ReadableJSON = JSON ( data:jsonData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil )
do {
let jsonObject = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! [String:AnyObject]
for city in jsonObject["cities"] as! [[String:AnyObject]] {
//let coordinates = position["Position"] as! [String:CLLocationDegrees]
let cityName = city["Name"] as! String
let latitude = city["Latitude"] as! Double
let longitude = city["Longitude"] as! Double
let description = city["Description"] as! String
let image = city["Image"] as! String
let location = CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
let city = City(name: cityName, location: location,description: description, imageName: image)
cities.append(city)
// print(cities)
}
self.orderCitysByProximity()
self.filterCitysByProximity(Int(self.Slider.value))
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func SliderChange(sender: UISlider) {
let MySliderCurrentValue: String = String(Int(sender.value))
LabelValueSlider.text = MySliderCurrentValue
self.filterCitysByProximity(Int(sender.value))
}
#IBAction func goToTableView()
{
if let tableViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tableViewController") as? TableViewController
{
tableViewController.cities = self.nearbyCities
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(tableViewController, animated: true)
}
}
func filterCitysByProximity(kilometers:Int)
{
self.nearbyCities.removeAll()
for city in self.cities {
if(city.distanceTo(self.userLoc) <= kilometers*2)
{
self.nearbyCities.append(city)
}
}
self.LabelTest.text = "you have \(self.nearbyCities.count) cities nearby"
let OrderedArray = self.nearbyCities.sort({ $0.distanceTo(self.userLoc) < $1.distanceTo(self.userLoc) })
self.nearbyCities = OrderedArray
}
func orderCitysByProximity()
{
let OrderedArray = self.cities.sort({ $0.distanceTo(self.userLoc) < $1.distanceTo(self.userLoc) })
self.cities = OrderedArray
}
#IBAction func LocateMe(sender: AnyObject) {
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let userlocation: CLLocation = locations[0] as CLLocation
manager.stopUpdatingLocation()
let location = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: userlocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: userlocation.coordinate.longitude)
self.userLoc = location
}
}
On the bottom you will see the func locationManager, where I am trying to find the user's current location. Would you please advise me how to start this function so that the app recognise when I type userLoc. userLoc are the coordinations of the user and I have to use them in other functions like func filterCitysByProximity, and the rest, which you can see in the code.
Reason of your problem :-
When you call the delegate of the CLLocationManager in viewDidLoad() it takes some time to retrieve the usersCurrent Location , but even before usersLocation could relay back to you, your functions requiring usersCurrent Location were being triggered as you had called them in viewDidLoad() thus causing the error!
your Code should look like this:-
import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation
import SwiftyJSON
struct City {
let name : String
let location : CLLocation
let description :String
let imageName : String
func distanceTo(location:CLLocation) -> Int
{
let distanceMeters = location.distanceFromLocation(self.location)
let distanceKilometers = distanceMeters / 1000.00
return Int(round(100 * distanceKilometers) / 100)
}
}
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var LabelTest: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var Slider: UISlider!
#IBOutlet weak var LabelValueSlider: UILabel!
var MySliderCurrentValue = Double()
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var userLoc : CLLocation!
var cities = [City]()
var nearbyCities = [City]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let path: String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("cities", ofType: "json") as String!
let jsonData = NSData(contentsOfFile: path) as NSData!
do {
let jsonObject = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! [String:AnyObject]
for city in jsonObject["cities"] as! [[String:AnyObject]] {
//let coordinates = position["Position"] as! [String:CLLocationDegrees]
let cityName = city["Name"] as! String
let latitude = city["Latitude"] as! Double
let longitude = city["Longitude"] as! Double
let description = city["Description"] as! String
let image = city["Image"] as! String
let location = CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
let city = City(name: cityName, location: location,description: description, imageName: image)
cities.append(city)
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
if locationManager.respondsToSelector(#selector(locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization)) {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.requestLocation()
}
else {
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
#IBAction func SliderChange(sender: UISlider) {
let MySliderCurrentValue: String = String(Int(sender.value))
LabelValueSlider.text = MySliderCurrentValue
if userLoc != nil{
self.filterCitysByProximity(Int(sender.value), location: userLoc)
}else{
let alertC : UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Iwin", message: "UserLocation Not Updated wait a while", preferredStyle: .Alert)
let okAction : UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "oK", style: .Default, handler: { (okActn) in
print("User pressed ok")
})
alertC.addAction(okAction)
alertC.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = view
alertC.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = view.frame
self.presentViewController(alertC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
//Segue to .. :-
#IBAction func goToTableView()
{
if let tableViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tableViewController") as? TableViewController
{
tableViewController.cities = self.nearbyCities
print(nearbyCities)
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(tableViewController, animated: true)
}
}
#IBAction func LocateMe(sender: AnyObject) {
}
//Class Functions call :-
func filterCitysByProximity(kilometers:Int, location: CLLocation)

self.LabelTest.text = "you have \(self.nearbyCities.count) cities nearby"
let OrderedArray = self.nearbyCities.sort({ $0.distanceTo(location) < $1.distanceTo(location) })
self.nearbyCities = OrderedArray
}
func orderCitysByProximity(location: CLLocation)
{
let OrderedArray = self.cities.sort({ $0.distanceTo(location) < $1.distanceTo(location) })
self.cities = OrderedArray
}
//Location Manager Functions :-
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
userLoc = locations[0] as CLLocation
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print(userLoc)
self.orderCitysByProximity(userLoc)
self.filterCitysByProximity(Int(self.Slider.value), location : userLoc)
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if status == .AuthorizedWhenInUse {
print("authorised call came . . . . ")
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError){
print(error.localizedDescription)
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
}
}
Add privacy - location usage description : Result to your info.plist
Also if your didUpdateLocations function doesn't get called
reset your location Services by going into settings->General->Reset
Try google, you will find multiple questions
