Stop mapkit custom MKAnnotationView disappearing on tap - ios

Question

I currently have a custom MKAnnotationView set in a map callout, and it's working well. I however want to add a button to the callout view, but when i tap the button it closes the annotation view before it gets called. How can i get around this?
Here are pertinent bits of my code:
In my view for annotations:
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if annotation is MKUserLocation {
return nil
}
let reuseId = "mapReuseId"
var mapView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId)
if mapView == nil {
mapView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation as! Annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
mapView!.canShowCallout = false
} else {
mapView!.annotation = annotation as! Annotation
}
mapDottView!.image = customImage
return mapDottView
}
In my didSelect delegate:
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, didSelect view: MKAnnotationView) {
let callOut = customCallOutView(with: data)
view.addSubview(callOut)
// some layout here
}
The customCallOutView is longish, but the important part is that it has a UIButton which never gets called on tap. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can try to put a delay when your button is tapped.
You can use Grand Central Dispatch or Perform Selector After Delay.
// Do what you need to do when your button was tapped.
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) {
// Dismiss your annotation.
}

Try the following code:
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if annotation is MKUserLocation {
return nil
}
let reuseId = "mapReuseId"
var mapView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId)
if mapView == nil {
mapView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation as! Annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
mapView!.canShowCallout = true
let rightButton: AnyObject! = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.detailDisclosure)
pinView?.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton as? UIView
} else {
mapView!.annotation = annotation as! Annotation
}
mapDottView!.image = customImage
return mapDottView
}
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, annotationView view: MKAnnotationView, calloutAccessoryControlTapped control: UIControl) {
print(#function)
// this method will be called when the button is tapped.
// annotation view doesn't disappear
}
