My viewForAnnotation function is never called? - iphone

I have made these pieces of code for my custom annotation:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
mapView.delegate=self;
[self AddLocations];
[self initiateMap];
......
this is my addLocation function:
-(id<MKAnnotation>)addAnnotationWithTitle: (NSString*) title coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)
Location imageName:(NSString*) imageName{
CustomAnnotation *annotation = [[CustomAnnotation alloc]init];
annotation.title = title;
annotation.subtitle = #"This is a subtitle";
[annotation setCoordinate:Location];
annotation.imageName = imageName;
return annotation;
}
and my CustomAnnotation Class:
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation{
NSLog(#"Test");
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]){
return nil;
}
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[CustomAnnotation class]]){
CustomAnnotation *customAnnotation = annotation;
static NSString* annotationid = #"Annotation";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:annotationid];
if(!annotationView){
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc]initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:annotationid];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
}else{
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:customAnnotation.imageName];
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
For some reason the viewForAnnotation function is never used. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

multiple annotation in map messing

I have dot as a pin annotation in map and showing custom annotation view.My problem is that when I click on dot sometimes dot behinds custom annotation view comes in fron of custom annotation view instead of showing behind it.
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKAnnotationView *annotationView;
PinAnnotationView *pinView = nil;
NSString *identifier;
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[DisplayMap class]])
{
identifier = #"Pin";
NSInteger myid = ((DisplayMap *)annotation).takeid;
MKAnnotationView *pinView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
DisplayMap *a = (DisplayMap *)annotation;
pinView.annotation=a;
if (myid == 1)
{
UIImage *test = [UIImage imageNamed:#"red_dot.png"];
pinView.image = test;
pinView.opaque = NO;
}
else if (myid == 2)
{
UIImage *test = [UIImage imageNamed:#"blue_dot.png"];
pinView.image = test;
pinView.opaque = NO;
}
else {

}
return pinView;
}
else if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[CalloutAnnotation class]])

pinAnnotation.calloutAnnotation = calloutAnnotation;
[mapView addAnnotation:calloutAnnotation];
[annotationRemoveArray addObject:calloutAnnotation];
[self setzoomonselectannotation:pinAnnotation.coordinate];
}
}
The callout window is an annotation view as well. That is wrong ;)
follow one the hints:
How to customize the callout bubble for MKAnnotationView?
Basically what they say: make the callout a subview of the pin itself

MapView MKAnnotation not showing callout on MKMapView

I'm displaying a few map pins on a map view. I can't figure out why the callout won't show when an annotation is touched. Here's my code. I have some conditional code in the viewDidLoad method to display a different pin image depending on a category id. The custom pins display correctly, but when you touch them nothing happens.
thanks for any help with this.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self requestData];
CLLocationCoordinate2D centerCoord = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(44.2632, 11.4403);
MKCoordinateSpan span;
span.latitudeDelta=5;
span.longitudeDelta=5;
MKCoordinateRegion ITRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMake(centerCoord, span);
ITRegion.span=span;
[mapView setRegion: ITRegion animated: YES];
mapView.delegate=self;
[self.mapView setShowsUserLocation:YES];
for (int i=0; i<[publicDataArray count]; i++) {
MKPointAnnotation* annotation= [MKPointAnnotation new];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
coordinate.latitude = [[[[publicDataArray objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"address"] objectForKey:#"lat"] doubleValue];
coordinate.longitude = [[[[publicDataArray objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"address"] objectForKey:#"lng"] doubleValue];
NSString *catId = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[publicDataArray objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"category_id"]];
if ([catId isEqual: #"213"]) {
annView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"comprareMap.png"];//sets image for pin
} else if ([catId isEqual:#"217"]) {
annView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"vedereMap.png"];//sets image for pin
} else if ([catId isEqual:#"221"]) {
annView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"mangiareMap.png"];//sets image for pin
}
annotation.coordinate = coordinate;
[mapView addAnnotation: annotation];
}
}
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapingView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation {
annView = nil;
if(annotation != mapingView.userLocation)
{
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"";
annView = (MKAnnotationView *)[mapingView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if ( annView == nil )
annView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID] ;
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[rightButton setTitle:annotation.title forState:UIControlStateNormal];

How do I change the pin color of an annotation in map kit view

I would like to know how to change the pin color of an annotation in map kit. Currently Im using the following code.
//King Solomon's Lodge No. 194
CLLocationCoordinate2D kingsolomons;
kingsolomons.latitude = 38.052041;
kingsolomons.longitude = -78.683218;
Annotation *kingsolomonslodge = [[Annotation alloc] init];
kingsolomonslodge.coordinate = kingsolomons;
kingsolomonslodge.title = #"King Solomon's Lodge No. 194";
kingsolomonslodge.subtitle = #"Charlottesville, VA";
[self.myMapView addAnnotation:kingsolomonslodge];
I have googled this question a few times but Im unsure on how to implement this into the current code that I have.
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if (annotation == mapview.userLocation)
return nil;
MKPinAnnotationView *pin = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [mapview dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier: #"asdf"];
if (pin == nil)
pin = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier: #"asdf"] autorelease];
else
pin.annotation = annotation;
// NSLog(#"%#",annotation.title);
NSString *titlename=#"xyz";
if ([annotation.title isEqualToString:titlename]) {
pin.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
// pin.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"arrest.png"] ;
}
else{
pin.pinColor= MKPinAnnotationColorPurple;
}
pin.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UIButton *disclosureButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
// //pin.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"arrest.png"] ;
pin.rightCalloutAccessoryView = disclosureButton;
//pin.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
pin.animatesDrop = YES;
[pin setEnabled:YES];
[pin setCanShowCallout:YES];
return pin;
}
You can use pinColor property if MKAnnotation class.
kingsolomonslodge.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
Another way is you can use image instead of the default pin using viewForAnnotation: delegate:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
static NSString *identifier = #"MyLocation";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[yourAnnotationLocation class]])
{
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *) [_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil)
{
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImage.png"];//here we use a nice image instead of the default pins
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
}
else
{
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
try this man...
kingsolomonslodge.pinColor = AnnotationColorRed;
let me know whether it is workihg or not
happy coding!!!!
If you want to apply custom color you can add image also.
MKAnnotationView *pinView = nil;
pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"pinks.jpg"];
Since iOS 9:
kingsolomonslodge.pinTintColor = UIColor.greenColor;

detailButton unable to push information over. Pushed page always have empty labels

Hi can some1 plz help me....
The problem is this: Everything seems alright.. i am able to push to another page once i tap on the detailButton. However, the page which i am able to push to is always only a view without any values passed into the labels. All my labels in the view have nothing inside.. Am i doing something wrong or any wrong concept here?
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
BOOL isRed = NO;
//BOOL isPurple = YES;
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[MyAnnotation2 class]])
isRed = YES;
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = nil;
if(isRed) {
static NSString *redPin = #"redPin";
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:redPin];
if (!pinView) {
pinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:redPin] autorelease];
pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
pinView.animatesDrop = YES;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *detailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = detailButton;
}
else{
pinView.annotation = annotation;
}
}
else {
static NSString *greenPin = #"greenPin";
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:greenPin];
if (!pinView) {
pinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:greenPin] autorelease];
pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
pinView.animatesDrop = NO;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *detailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = detailButton;
}
}
return pinView;
}
//
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view calloutAccessoryControlTapped:(UIControl *)control
{
NSLog(#"calloutAccessoryControlTapped");
if (self.patientDetailsViewController == nil) {
self.patientDetailsViewController = [[[PatientDetailsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PatientDetailsViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
}
MyAnnotation2 *selectedObject = (MyAnnotation2 *)view.annotation;
_patientDetailsViewController.nric = selectedObject.title;
NSLog(#"%#",_patientDetailsViewController.nric);
[self.navigationController pushViewController:_patientDetailsViewController animated:YES];
}
Don't use your own target/action and tagging for the callout accessory button.
Instead, use the MKMapViewDelegate method calloutAccessoryControlTapped:. Remove the addTarget line and implement the delegate method.
In that delegate method, you can access the annotation tapped using:
MyAnnotation2 *selectedObject = (MyAnnotation2 *)view.annotation;

MapKit doesn't show Blue Dot for Current Location

I am a newbie in MapKit for iPhone and tried to implement this, for some reason I can't see the current location blue dot, anyone else had this issue????
#import "DetailMapViewController.h"
#import "mapAnnotations.h"
#implementation DetailMapViewController
#synthesize inStock;
-(void)getlocation:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)loc
{
location = loc;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.title = #"Street View";
mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
mapView.delegate=self;
//MKCoordinateRegion region;
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(location, 5000, 5000);
mapAnnotations *ann = [[mapAnnotations alloc] init];
ann.title = #"";
ann.subtitle = #"";
ann.coordinate = region.center;
mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
[mapView addAnnotation:ann];
[mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE];
[mapView regionThatFits:region];
[self.view insertSubview:mapView atIndex:0];
}
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"];
if (annotation == mapView.userLocation)
{
annView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"blueDot"];
if (annView != nil)
{
annView.annotation = annotation;
}
else
{
annView = [[[NSClassFromString(#"MKUserLocationView") alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"blueDot"] autorelease];
}
}
if([inStock isEqual:#"yes"]){
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
if([inStock isEqual:#"no"]){
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
}
if([inStock isEqual:#"unknown"]){
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"greyPin.png"]];
[annView addSubview:imageView];
}
annView.animatesDrop=TRUE;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
return annView;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
#end
The way the viewForAnnotation is currently written, it should actually crash when trying to show the current location because the "blue dot" annotation view doesn't have the pinColor or animatesDrop properties.
Try changing it to the following:
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:MKUserLocation.class]) {
//user location view is being requested,
//return nil so it uses the default which is a blue dot...
return nil;
}
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"];
if([inStock isEqual:#"yes"]){
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
if([inStock isEqual:#"no"]){
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
}
if([inStock isEqual:#"unknown"]){
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"greyPin.png"]];
[annView addSubview:imageView];
}
annView.animatesDrop=TRUE;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
return annView;
}
On the simulator, the user's location will be Cupertino, CA, USA (a little south of San Francisco). If your own annotation is not within 5000 meters of that, you won't see the blue dot. You'll have to zoom out to see it.
self.mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
