I have added a custom annotation and a percentage label on it.
By pressing the button in red circle, I want to change value of label from percentage to business name.
My Code:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
static NSString *identifier = #"MyLocation";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[BusinessCustomAnnotation class]]) {
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *) [mapViewOffers dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
UILabel* category = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(annotationView.frame.size.width / 2, 15, 55, 20)];
BusinessCustomAnnotation *myAnnotationView = (BusinessCustomAnnotation *)annotation;
NSLog(#"Type One Offer! = %i", mapTypes);
[category setAdjustsFontSizeToFitWidth:YES];
if (mapTypes == 1) {
category.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", myAnnotationView.offerPercentage, #"%"];
}else if (mapTypes == 2){
category.text = myAnnotationView.businessName;
}else if (mapTypes == 3){
category.text = myAnnotationView.businessName;
}
[category setMinimumScaleFactor:1.0];
category.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0 weight:5.0];
category.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[annotationView addSubview:category];
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = NO;
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"iconMapMarker"];//here we use a nice image instead of the default pins
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
return annotationView; }return nil; }
Above mapview delegate is calling for one time only.
Waiting for the solution.
Thanks in advance for helping me.
There are two ways of detecting user interaction with your annotation view. The common technique is to define a callout (that standard little popover bubble that you see when you tap on a pin in a typical maps app) for your MKAnnotationView. And you create the annotation view for your annotation in the standard viewForAnnotation method:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"loc"];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
return annotationView;
}
By doing this, you get a callout, but you're adding an right accessory, which is, in my example above, a disclosure indicator. That way, they tap on your annotation view (in my example above, a pin on the map), they see the callout, and when they tap on that callout's right accessory (the little disclosure indicator in this example), your calloutAccessoryControlTapped is called.
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view calloutAccessoryControlTapped:(UIControl *)control
{
//first check your view class here
// here your code for change text on view
}
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view
{
//first check your view class here
// here your code for change text on view
}
You need to refresh the annotations. In Action of button try this :
mapTypes = 2
for (id<MKAnnotation> annotation in mapView.annotations)
{
[mapView removeAnnotation:annotation];
[mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
}
You can't make any changes to already added annotation pin.To make any changes to the annotation pin you need to remove all the pin and add it back.
Annotations don't refresh.
You have to remove all existing annotations with
[self.mapView removeAnnotations:self.mapView.annotations];
and update your "mapTypes" variable value to "2" or "3" in order to show business name.
Then you can can add your annotations again with [MKMapView addAnnotation:].

I'm trying to perform a segue when a map annotation pin is tapped. Im using a custom annotation class if that makes a difference.
I've tried
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view {
NSLog(#"annotation selected");
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"mySegue" sender:self];
}
but my NSLog isnt running so I assume the method isnt getting called.
The only other things I've done are add the annotation pin to my map view and set my view controller as the map view delegate.
Here is how I added the annotation to the mapview
SPMapAnnotation *pin = [[SPMapAnnotation alloc] init];
pin.coordinate = spotLocation.coordinate;
pin.title = [spot objectForKey:#"spotName"];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:pin];
How can I make this work? That didSelectAnnotation method seems like it would make this easy to do but I'm not sure how it works.
Apparently I forgot I didnt allocate my mapView until viewDidAppear. Just needed to add
self.mapView.delegate = self;
after I alloc and inited it.
Implement following delegate method
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = nil;
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[SPMapAnnotation class]])
{
annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"Pin"];
if (annotationView == nil)
{
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"Pin"];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.animatesDrop = YES;
}
}
return annotationView;
}
as didSelectAnnotationView will not be called for standard annotation pin, you need to return MKAnnotationView for didSelectAnnotationView to be called.
MKPinAnnotationView does not allow you to use a custom image as 'pin' and enable dragging at the same time, because the image will change back to the default pin as soon as you start dragging. Therefore I use an MKAnnotationView instead of an MKPinAnnotationView.
While using MKAnnotationView instead of MKPinAnnotationView does keep your custom image shown as your 'pin' it doesn't support the drag & drop animation that you get with the default pin.
Anyway, my issue is that after I drag my custom MKAnnotationView to a new point on the map and then move the map itself the MKAnnotationView does not move with the map anymore.
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
static NSString *defaultID = #"myLocation";
if([self.annotation isKindOfClass:[PinAnnotation class]])
{
//Try to get an unused annotation, similar to uitableviewcells
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultID];
//If one isn't available, create a new one
if(!annotationView)
{
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:self.annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultID];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.draggable = YES;
annotationView.enabled = YES;
}
UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 32, 32)];
imgView.image = self.passableTag.image;
annotationView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = imgView;
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[Constants tagIconImageNameForTagType:self.passableTag.type]];
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
Just set the annotationView.dragState to MKAnnotationViewDragStateNone after ending the drag:
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view didChangeDragState:(MKAnnotationViewDragState)newState fromOldState:(MKAnnotationViewDragState)oldState {
if ([view.annotation isKindOfClass:[PinAnnotation class]]) {
if (newState == MKAnnotationViewDragStateEnding) {
view.dragState = MKAnnotationViewDragStateNone;
}
}
}
I had the same problem and I solved it adding "setDragState" to my MKAnnotationView class.
This is an old solution but it worked to me (iOS8).
Don't reuse MKAnnotationView and it will work.
I am using MapKit and I am having the exact problem.
This is my code:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
static NSString *identifier = #"MyLocation";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MyLocation class]]) {
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *) [mymap_ios dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
In this code, I can see the pin but not the blue button next to it so as. It seems that I have forgotten to do this:
mymap_ios.delegate=self;
But when I add this, the marker is not shown at all.
Can you help me on that?
When you don't set the map view's delegate, it doesn't call your viewForAnnotation and creates a default red pin without any accessory buttons.
When you set the delegate, it is calling your viewForAnnotation method but you are creating a plain MKAnnotationView which by default does not have any pre-set image or view (it's blank).
Either set the annotation view's image, add some content to the view, or simply create an MKPinAnnotationView instead of an MKAnnotationView:
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [mymap_ios ...
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] init...
Also make sure that the annotation objects you add are of type MyLocation otherwise they will appear as plain red pins without an accessory button.
I have a problem with the custom image on MapKit annotation. Building a sample project where I am performing the same test, it works properly (although the drop effect and the custom image do not work).
But when I use exactly the same function on my map view project, the custom image does not appear. I noticed that the color pin change function MKPinAnnotationColorPurple does not work either. Is it possible that it depends on some project properties?
The code is:
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
static NSString *identifier = #"MyLocation";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MyLocation class]]) {
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.animatesDrop= NO;
annotationView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"arrest.png" ];//here we use a nice image instead of the default pins
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *btnDetails = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
//[btnDetails addTarget:self action:#selector(prova) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView=btnDetails;
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
The UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure does not appear either (in other projects it does).
I can't seem to be able to add a disclosure button to my map annotations.
I implemented the MKMapViewDelegate to my view controller as well. What am I missing?
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *mapPin = nil;
if(annotation != map.userLocation)
{
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"defaultPin";
mapPin = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[map dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if (mapPin == nil )
mapPin = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID];
mapPin.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
mapPin.rightCalloutAccessoryView = infoButton;
}
return mapPin;
}
That code should work but check the following:
Is the map view's delegate property set? Declaring that the view controller implements the MKMapViewDelegate protocol does not actually tell the map view which object is implementing the delegate methods. In code, do map.delegate = self; or in IB connect the delegate outlet to File's Owner.
Is the annotation's title property set to non-blank? If the title is blank, no callout will show.
Also, unrelated but, when the dequeue returns an annotation view, you should update its annotation property to the current annotation (it might have been used for another annotation previously). Additionally, unless you're using ARC, you should also autorelease the view.
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *mapPin = nil;
if(annotation != map.userLocation)
{
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"defaultPin";
mapPin = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[map dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if (mapPin == nil )
{
mapPin = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID] autorelease];
mapPin.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
mapPin.rightCalloutAccessoryView = infoButton;
}
else
mapPin.annotation = annotation;
}
return mapPin;
}
