I want to add as a subtitle in a Callout Bubble of MKAnnotationPoint a link that launches Safari Browser that eventually goes to that link.Is this possible?
Why don't you use a button in the bubble, that's why it is designed for?
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation{
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"];
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
annView.animatesDrop=TRUE;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
annotationButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[annotationButton addTarget:self action:#selector(annotationAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = annotationButton;
return annView;
}
- (void) annotationAction {
//Call a web view here
}

I'm a noob to iphone development and i'm trying to add a custom button to an annotation callout. I have no problems adding a regular button to rightCalloutAccessoryView, but it's just not working for custom style. My image size is 32 x 32. I also want to add a custom map pin following this stackoverflow question here Any help is greatly appreciated.
MY CODE
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
// Define your reuse identifier.
static NSString *identifier = #"MapPoint";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MapPoint class]]) {
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.animatesDrop = YES;
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"myimage.png"];
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
//UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[rightButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"phony2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[rightButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(showDetails:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton;
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
[rightButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(showDetails:)
Remove this line
and set frame of the button
[rightButton setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,32,32)];
and get the tap action from the degate method
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view calloutAccessoryControlTapped:(UIControl *)control;
where you get the annotation view.
Hope this will help you.
I have an custom annotation set up in my mapview using below code. Problem is that the position of the annotation image is incorrect, it put's it a bit to the right of the actual location instead of spot on like when using the regular Pins.
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
static NSString* AnnotationIdentifier = #"AnnotationIdentifier";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:AnnotationIdentifier];
if(annotationView)
return annotationView;
else
{
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:AnnotationIdentifier] autorelease];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"townhouse.png"]];
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[rightButton addTarget:self action:#selector(writeSomething:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[rightButton setTitle:annotation.title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.draggable = YES;
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
Any help at all would be grateful!

Marcus,
use the centerOffset property of MKAnnotationView to move your custom annotation view.
annotationView.centerOffset = CGPointMake(xOffset, yOffest);
I have went through a few links here, not all of them, regarding MKPinAnnotationView pin, subclass, etc. I did some simple tutorials online and when I thought I could start on my application with the knowledge from the tutorials, I was wrong. :(
In my tutorial file, I managed to do a simple MKPinAnnotationView *pin. Set its properties, like canShowCallOut = YES, draggable = YES. I can drag the pin anywhere I want to and display the location its dropped at.
But when I created my new application, I did the same thing again. But the pin isn't moving, is there something I did wrong?
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation{
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[CustomPlacemark class]])
{
MKPinAnnotationView *newAnnotation = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:[annotation title]];
newAnnotation.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
newAnnotation.animatesDrop = YES;
newAnnotation.canShowCallout = YES; // shows the black label when the pin is tapped
newAnnotation.draggable = YES;
// newAnnotation.enabled = YES;
newAnnotation.tag = tag;
NSLog(#"%# %#", [annotation title], [annotation subtitle]);
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[rightButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(showDetails:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
newAnnotation.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton;
NSLog(#"Created annotation at: %f %f", ((CustomPlacemark*)annotation).coordinate.latitude, ((CustomPlacemark*)annotation).coordinate.longitude);
[newAnnotation addObserver:self
forKeyPath:#"selected"
options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
context:#"GMAP_ANNOTATION_SELECTED"];
[newAnnotation autorelease];
tag++;
NSLog(#"ååååååååå %#", appDelegate.fml);
return newAnnotation;
}
return nil;
}
Take a look

I'm looking for the same problem.
Im using the following method to show MKAnnotation View on my mapView. But wehn I do that the current location of the user is also given the same view as the other pins. How can I make the current location a Unique pin color
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"];
//annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
UIButton *myDetailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
myDetailButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 23);
myDetailButton.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
myDetailButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
[myDetailButton addTarget:self
action:nil/*#selector(checkButtonTapped:event:)*/
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = myDetailButton;
annView.animatesDrop=NO;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
return annView;
}
In your viewForAnnotation method, check to see if the annotation is an instance of MKUserLocation. If it is, return nil:
if ([annotation isMemberOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) return nil;
I have added an image on annotation view and when i am touching annotation view its image is changeing into red pin can any one tell me what's he reason for it
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView* newAnnotation = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"annotation1"];
if (annotation == _mapView.userLocation)
{
newAnnotation.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
return nil;
}
//[newAnnotation setSelected:YES];
newAnnotation.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"sample.png"];
newAnnotation.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
newAnnotation.canShowCallout = YES;
[newAnnotation retain];
return newAnnotation;
}
Make the newAnnotation a MKAnnotationView rather than a MKPinAnnotationView.
