Map with Photos using Parse - ios

Question

I'm trying to do exactly this using Parse and Swift.
import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation
class MapViewController: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var latitude:Double = 0.0
var longitude:Double = 0.0
#IBOutlet var map: MKMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true , animated: true)
self.map.showsUserLocation = true
self.map.delegate = self
PFGeoPoint.geoPointForCurrentLocationInBackground { (geopoint:PFGeoPoint?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
var query = PFQuery(className: "Locations")
query.whereKey("geopoint", nearGeoPoint: geopoint!)
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (objects, error) -> Void in
if let myObjects = objects {
for object in myObjects {
var thePoint: PFGeoPoint = object["geopoint"] as! PFGeoPoint
self.latitude = thePoint.latitude
self.longitude = thePoint.longitude
NSLog(" Hej %f, %f", self.latitude, self.longitude)
var annotationCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(self.latitude, self.longitude)
var annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = annotationCoordinate
annotation.title = object["discovery"] as! String
annotation.subtitle = object["location"] as! String
self.map.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
}
}
}
}
Big picture though, I'm trying to create a way to access pictures stored on Parse (and their locations) and display them on a map if they meet my query. I greatly appreciate any help!

Answer 1

if you are getting the conversion error in
var thePoint: PFGeoPoint = object["geopoint"]
change it to
var thePoint: PFGeoPoint = object["geopoint"] as! PFGeoPoint
Regarding converting Double to Int, it appears to be as you found but I don't know the rationale behind the decision by the designers of swift. I would like to understand why you need the conversion since there may be an alternate implementation
