Custom CalloutView with Swift 2.0 Best Approach? - ios

Question

I want to create a custom CalloutView from xib. I created a xib and custom AnnotationView class. I want to use my MapViewController segue which name is showDetail segue because this segue is a Push segue. When the user taps the button in my calloutView it should perform my showDetail segue.
I searched all documents, tutorials, guides and questions but I could
not find a any solution with Swift. There are no custom libraries also. I couldn't find any solution it as been 3 days.
My CalloutView.xib file View is my CustomAnnotationView which name is CalloutAnnotationView.swift and File's Owner is MapViewController it allows me to use MapViewController segues.
There is my CalloutAnnotationView.swift
override func hitTest(point: CGPoint, withEvent event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {
let hitView = super.hitTest(point, withEvent: event)
if (hitView != nil) {
self.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(self)
}
return hitView
}
override func pointInside(point: CGPoint, withEvent event: UIEvent?) -> Bool {
let rect = self.bounds
var isInside = CGRectContainsPoint(rect, point)
if (!isInside) {
for view in self.subviews {
isInside = CGRectContainsPoint(view.frame, point)
if (isInside) {
}
}
}
return isInside
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
let calloutViewController = MapViewController(nibName: "CalloutView", bundle: nil)
if selected {
calloutViewController.view.clipsToBounds = true
calloutViewController.view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
calloutViewController.view.center = CGPointMake(self.bounds.size.width * 0.5, -calloutViewController.view.bounds.size.height * 0.5)
self.addSubview(calloutViewController.view)
} else {
// Dismiss View
calloutViewController.view.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
My MapViewController.swift codes;
// MARK: - MapKit Delegate Methods
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if let annotation = annotation as? Veterinary { // Checking annotations is not User Location.
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier(Constants.MapViewAnnotationViewReuseIdentifier) as? CalloutAnnotationView
if pinView == nil { // If it is nil it created new Pin View
pinView = CalloutAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: Constants.MapViewAnnotationViewReuseIdentifier)
pinView?.canShowCallout = false
} else { pinView?.annotation = annotation } // If it is NOT nil it uses old annotations.
// Checking pin colors from Veterinary Class PinColor Method
pinView?.image = annotation.pinColors()
//pinView?.rightCalloutAccessoryView = UIButton(type: .DetailDisclosure)
return pinView
}
return nil
}
These codes are working fine to load my xib file. I created IBAction from a button and It performs segues from MapViewControllerto my DetailViewController with showDetail segue. But problem is It doesn't remove my customCalloutView from superview so I can't dismiss callout views.
How can I solve this problem or What is the best way to create custom calloutView for use my MapViewController push segues ?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

In your MKMapView delegate see if this gets called when segueing:
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, didDeselectAnnotationView view: MKAnnotationView) {
if let annotation = view.annotation as? Veterinary {
mapView.removeAnnotation(annotation)
}
}

I hope this helps you with the problem
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, didDeselectAnnotationView view: MKAnnotationView) {
if view.isKindOfClass(AnnotationView)
{
for subview in view.subviews
{
subview.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
}
