viewForAnnotation Not Called Until Map is Moved - iphone

viewForAnnotation is not being called until I move or zoom in on the map. Because of this, my annotations do not show until the map is touched. Any idea why?
NSString *incident;
for (incident in weekFeed) {
NSString *finalCoordinates = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", [incident valueForKey:#"coordinates"]];
NSArray *coordinatesArray = [finalCoordinates componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
latcoord = (#"%#", [coordinatesArray objectAtIndex:0]);
longcoord = (#"%#", [coordinatesArray objectAtIndex:1]);
// Final Logs
NSLog(#"Coordinates in NSString: [%#] - [%#]", latcoord, longcoord);
CLLocationCoordinate2D coord;
coord.latitude = [latcoord doubleValue];
coord.longitude = [longcoord doubleValue];
DisplayMap *ann = [[DisplayMap alloc] init];
ann.title = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#", [incident valueForKey:#"incident_type"]];
ann.subtitle = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#", [incident valueForKey:#"note"]];
ann.coordinate = coord;
[mapView addAnnotation:ann];
[ann release];
}
// Custom Map Markers
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil; //return nil to use default blue dot view
static NSString *AnnotationViewID = #"annotationViewID";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:AnnotationViewID];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:AnnotationViewID] autorelease];
}
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
if ([annotationView.annotation.title isEqualToString:#"one"]) {
UIImage *pinImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"marker_1.png"];
[annotationView setImage:pinImage];
}
if ([annotationView.annotation.title isEqualToString:#"two"]) {
UIImage *pinImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"marker_2.png"];
[annotationView setImage:pinImage];
}
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
return annotationView;
}
- (void) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapV didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views {
CGRect visibleRect = [mapV annotationVisibleRect];
for (MKAnnotationView *view in views) {
CGRect endFrame = view.frame;
CGRect startFrame = endFrame; startFrame.origin.y = visibleRect.origin.y - startFrame.size.height;
view.frame = startFrame;
[UIView beginAnimations:#"drop" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.4];
view.frame = endFrame;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}

I solved it by using [self performSelectorInBackground:#selector(loadEverything) withObject:self]; instead of detachThreadSelector. That code (in viewDidLoad) wasn't originally posted.
Thanks for helping everyone!

Show multiple pins on MKMap iPhone

Hello friend in my application i am showing multiple pins on mapview. I have two mutablearray first for latitude and second for longitude each array have 10 values as i am showing bellow code in my method:
- (void)showAddressAllBusiness {
annotationsarray=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSLog(#"%d",[listOfLatitude count]);
NSLog(#"%d",[listOfLongitude count]);
NSLog(#"%d",[listOfPlaceName count]);
for (int i =0;i < [listOfLatitude count]; i++) {
MKCoordinateRegion region = { {0.0, 0.0 }, { 0.0, 0.0 } };
region.center.latitude = [[listOfLatitude objectAtIndex:i] doubleValue];
region.center.longitude = [[listOfLongitude objectAtIndex:i] doubleValue];
region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.1f;
region.span.latitudeDelta = 0.1f;
[self.mapViewCityGuide setRegion:region animated:YES];
[self.mapViewCityGuide setZoomEnabled:YES];
addAnnotation = [[AddressAnnotation alloc]init];
addAnnotation.mTitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[listOfPlaceName objectAtIndex:i]];
addAnnotation.coordinate = region.center;
[self.mapViewCityGuide addAnnotation:addAnnotation];
[annotationsarray addObject:addAnnotation];
}
NSLog(#"%d",[self.mapViewCityGuide.annotations count]);
[self centerMap];
}
when i am using latitude and longitude array values which is appear from webservice then
this code is not working fine and i am debugg the code then mapViewCityGuide getting nil or 0x0.
If i am using hard code latitude and longitude value as mention bellow in the array and call this method then it will show all pins on map how can i solve this problem

impossible to show 2 colors in mapkit

ok desperation. This is killing me.. I totally do not understand MapKit at all.. Despite reading so many tutorial.. =(

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation;
is called every time the MKMapView needs to show a view for an annotation, it passes you that annotation for a reason. So instead of iterating through them and returning only the color for the first one in your array (you need to understand that returning from a function/method doesn't let the loop iterate more), use the parameter instead.
Also a good practice is to use
- (MKAnnotationView *)dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier;
so the AnnotationViews don't get created again from scratch, especially memory-wise!
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView not getting called

In my code, the - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation method is not getting called. I don know why. Can anyone please help me?
Below is my code:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#","];
NSLog(#"pin map");
if(pinView == nil)
{
pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#""];
pinView.animatesDrop = YES;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"ann.png"];
CGRect resizeRect;
resizeRect.size = image.size;
CGSize maxSize = CGRectInset(self.view.bounds,
[map annotationPadding],
[map annotationPadding]).size;*/
maxSize.height -= self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height + [map calloutHeight];
if (resizeRect.size.width > maxSize.width)
resizeRect.size = CGSizeMake(maxSize.width, resizeRect.size.height / resizeRect.size.width * maxSize.width);
if (resizeRect.size.height > maxSize.height)
resizeRect.size = CGSizeMake(resizeRect.size.width / resizeRect.size.height * maxSize.height, maxSize.height);
resizeRect.origin = (CGPoint){0.0f, 0.0f};
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(resizeRect.size);
[image drawInRect:resizeRect];
UIImage *resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
pinView.image = resizedImage;
pinView.opaque = NO;
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[rightButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(showDetails:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton;
if (annotation == mapView.userLocation)
{
return nil;
}
return pinView;
}
else
{
pinView.annotation = annotation;
}
return pinView;
}
This is how I am adding the annotations to the map:
-(void) Annotations:(int)i
{
/*NSString* address = [mpartyDetail objectAtIndex:i];
address = [[address componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]] componentsJoinedByString: #""];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%#&output=csv", address];
NSLog(#"nsstring %#",urlString);
NSString *locationString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]] autorelease];
NSLog(#"location string %#",locationString);
NSArray *latlng = [locationString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
NSLog(#"the latlng %#",latlng);
float lat = [[latlng objectAtIndex:2] floatValue];
float lng = [[latlng objectAtIndex:3] floatValue]; */
NSLog(#"ann");
lat = [[latiArray objectAtIndex:i]floatValue];
lng = [[longiArray objectAtIndex:i]floatValue];
CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoord = {lat,lng};
mapAnnotations* annotation = [[mapAnnotations alloc] initWithCoordinate:newCoord];
[mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
}
mapAnnotations is another class. The below code shows the method of that class which is getting called:
- (id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate{
NSLog(#"the cor");
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
NSLog(#"in");
_coordinate = coordinate;
}
return self;
}
The idea is that I add annotations when the user presses on the map and the user can give any title to that pin. I need a callout to show the title entered by the user. The annotations are getting added. But I am not able to get the callout as this method is not getting called.
Did you assign the class containing that method as the delegate for your map view, did you actually add any annotations to the map view, and are the locations for those annotations actually visible in the portion of the map currently displayed on-screen?
as someone rightly pointed out the delegate wasnt set to the same class in my case
all i did was in the code where i add annotation i wrote the code:
mapView.delegate=self;
and it worked great for me.
if you didnt do that do it and it might work for you also droid.
How are you adding annotations to your map? I use the following
while(some condition){
MapAnnotation *annotation = [[MapAnnotation alloc] initWithLatitude:(float)goLat Longitude:(float)goLng title:(NSString*)recallTask.blurb subtitle:(NSString*)recallTask.location];
[appDelegate.annArray addObject:annotation];
[annotation release];
annotation = nil;
}
[self.mapView addAnnotations:appDelegate.annArray];

IPhone SDK MapKIt Multiple Points and Annotation

I am new to IPhone SDK Development i am trying to make an application with MapKit i have done the first bit i want to add multiple pins and annotation to the application but i am lost here.
Following is the code how can i add more pins to this code
-(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
[mapView setZoomEnabled:YES];
[mapView setScrollEnabled:YES];
MKCoordinateRegion region={{0.0,0.0,},{0.0,0.0}};
region.center.latitude = 26.438047;
region.center.longitude = 50.116422;
region.span.latitudeDelta=0.01f;
region.span.longitudeDelta=0.01f;
[mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
[mapView setDelegate:self];
DisplayMap *ann = [[DisplayMap alloc] init];
ann.title = #"Corporate Office";
ann.subtitle =#"King Khalid Street";
ann.coordinate=region.center;
[mapView addAnnotation:ann];
}
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mV viewForAnnotation:
(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation{
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView=nil;
if (annotation != mapView.userLocation) {
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"com.invasivecode.pin";
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if (pinView ==nil) pinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID] autorelease];
pinView.pinColor=MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
pinView.canShowCallout=YES;
pinView.animatesDrop=YES;
pinView.calloutOffset= CGPointMake(-5, 5);
}
else {
[mapView.userLocation setTitle:"I am here"];
}
return pinView;
}
you are on the right track already, just reuse your code to make multiple points.
for example :
DisplayMap *ann = [[DisplayMap alloc] init];
for( int i =1;i<=5;i++ ){
region.center.latitude = 26.438047+i;
region.center.longitude = 50.116422+i;
ann.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"title %d",i)];
ann.subtitle =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"subtitle %d",i)];
ann.image = [NSString stringWithFormat#"image_%d.png",i];
ann.coordinate=region.center;
[mapView addAnnotation:ann];
}
[ann release];
in result, will display 5 points in different coordinate. (with same name and subtitle).
Edited: show different pin image. you have to add new field as NSString *image to DisplayMap. and add your path image inside for loop.
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)amapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
NSLog(#"pinnview before release %d",[pinView retainCount]);
if (pinView !=nil) {
pinView =nil;
[pinView release];
}
NSLog(#"pinnview after release %d",[pinView retainCount]);
// if it's the user location, just return nil.
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
if(annotation != map.userLocation)
{
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"your-pin";
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[map dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if ( counting < [map.annotations count])
{
counting++;
pinView = [[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID] autorelease];
for(DisplayMap* a in map.annotations)
{
if (annotation == a){
pinView.image =
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:
[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:a.image ofType:nil]];
}
}
pinView.centerOffset= CGPointMake(0,-10);
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
}
}
return pinView;
}
