Tap on Annotation on MkMapKit, return name - ios

Question

The problem I'm working on is:
I have a MKMapKit and whenever a user taps on a building, street, the name pops up from the mapView, like so:
I have my own class AddressAnnotation, like so:
AddressAnnotation.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#interface AddressAnnotation : NSObject <MKAnnotation>
- (id)initWithName:(NSString *)name address:(NSString *)address coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate;
#end
AddressAnnotation.m
#import "AddressAnnotation.h"
#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
#interface AddressAnnotation()
#property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
#property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *address;
#property (nonatomic, assign) CLLocationCoordinate2D theCoordinate;
#end
#implementation AddressAnnotation
- (id)initWithName:(NSString*)name address:(NSString*)address coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate {
if ((self = [super init])) {
if ([name isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
self.name = name;
} else {
self.name = #"";
}
self.address = address;
self.theCoordinate = coordinate;
}
return self;
}
- (NSString *)title {
return _name;
}
- (NSString *)subtitle {
return _address;
}
- (CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate {
return _theCoordinate;
}
And in my main MapViewController, I can specify a point and add a pin to that location, but that isn't what I want. I just want to be able to tap on a object and have their name pop up.
I couldn't find a question similar to this; please inform me if I've duplicated a question.
Thank you.

If you want a balloon to pop up above your annotation when you tap it. You use can MKMapViewDelegate in your controller.
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation{
// do this so you dont run the code for any other annotation type (eg blue dot for where your location is)
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[AddressAnnotation class]]){
MKPinAnnotationView* pv = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"spot"];
pv.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorPurple;
// decorate the balloon
UIImageView* iv = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"something.png"]];
iv.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
pv.leftCalloutAccessoryView = iv;
pv.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
// (default title and subtitle of the balloon will be taken from the annoation object)
// allow balloon to show when tapping
pv.canShowCallout = YES;
return pv;
}
return nil;
}
