Annotation callout title does not change - ios

I have searched but i didn't found any solution to my problem. I want to change already added pin. And here is my code. I'm getting "Code Here" in console.
I have in .h
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)annotationView;
myViewController.m
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)annotationView
{
userPins *myAnnot = (userPins *)annotationView.annotation;
[myAnnot setTitle:#"o21"];
NSLog(#"Code here!");
}
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
static NSString *identifier = #"userPins";
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[userPins class]]) {
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (annotationView == nil) {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"mapMarker-blue.png"];
annotationView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(0,0);
UIButton *detailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = detailButton;
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
In userPins.m i have. But i didn't do this with setTitle too.
- (void)setTitle:(NSString *)title {
if (_subtitle != subtitle) {
[_subtitle release];
_subtitle = [subtitle retain];
}
}
- (NSString *)title{
return #"okan";
}
Edit: #AnnaKarenina
I have tried all. But setTitle is not running. I'm going crazy! This is all of my code. And I'm not getting errors.

The setTitle: and title methods in userPins.m don't look right.
The setTitle: method is looking at and setting subtitle instead of title. The title method returns a constant string so even if setTitle: set the title ivar, the annotation will return the same constant string.
You could fix those methods or just declare title and subtitle as copy properties and #synthesize them in userPins.m (and release in dealloc). Then you don't need those methods at all (they will be implemented automatically).
By the way, when you add the annotation, be sure to set the title to something (even a single space) otherwise the callout will not display and didSelectAnnotationView will not be called.
A separate problem is a memory leak in viewForAnnotation. You should add an autorelease where you alloc+init annotationView.
Regarding The Updated Code:
In userPins.m, it still returns constant strings for subtitle and title thus hiding the changed ivars. Change it to:
- (id)initWithfbid:(NSInteger*)fbid
coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate {
if ((self = [super init])) {
_fbid = fbid;
_coordinate = coordinate;
//init the ivars here...
_title = #"Something";
_subtitle = #"Anything";
}
return self;
}
/* comment these methods out
- (NSString *)subtitle{
return #"Anything";
}
- (NSString *)title{
return #"Something";
}
*/
A new, unrelated problem is that fbid should probably be NSNumber * instead of NSInteger *. NSInteger is not an object and an NSNumber is what the JSON parser is most likely giving you.

how to create a custom class that conforms to <MKAnnotation> protocol

I have a map that is displaying all restaurant objects. I'm trying to pass the restaurant object to the map annotation so that i can display a detail view with all the restaurant info. After researching, I'm trying to create a class that conforms to protocols, however I haven't been able to place the annotation in the map. Here is my code:
RestaurantAnnotationClass.h (custom class):
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#import "Restaurant.h"
static NSString *restaurantAnnotationIdentifier = #"restaurantAnnotationIdentifier";
#interface RestaurantAnnotation : NSObject <MKAnnotation>
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *title;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *subtitle;
#property (nonatomic) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
#property (nonatomic, strong) Restaurant *restaurant;
- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)newTitle subtitle:(NSString *)newSubtitle restaurant:(Restaurant *)newRestaurant location:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)location;
- (MKAnnotationView *)annotationView;
#end
RestaurantAnnotationClass.m
#import "RestaurantAnnotation.h"
#implementation RestaurantAnnotation
- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)newTitle subtitle:(NSString *)newSubtitle restaurant:(Restaurant *)newRestaurant location:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)location {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.title = newTitle;
self.coordinate = location;
self.subtitle = newSubtitle;
self.restaurant = newRestaurant;
}
return self;
}
- (MKAnnotationView *)annotationView {
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:self reuseIdentifier:restaurantAnnotationIdentifier];
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
return annotationView;
}
#end
My view Controller with the map
- (NSArray *)convertRestaurantToMKAnnotationsFromArray:(NSArray *)restaurantsArray {
NSMutableArray *mkPointAnnotations = [NSMutableArray new];
double mileToMeters = 1609.344;
CLLocation *userLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:self.userCurrentLocation.coordinate.latitude longitude:self.userCurrentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
for (Restaurant *restaurant in restaurantsArray) {
CLLocation *restaurantLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:restaurant.geoLocation.latitude longitude:restaurant.geoLocation.longitude];

[mkPointAnnotations addObject: newRestaurantAnnotation];
}
return mkPointAnnotations;
}
here im implementing the vuewforannotation method
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[RestaurantAnnotation class]]) {
RestaurantAnnotation *restaurant = (RestaurantAnnotation *)annotation;
MKAnnotationView *restaurantAnnotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:restaurantAnnotationIdentifier];
if (restaurantAnnotationView == nil)
restaurantAnnotationView = restaurant.annotationView;
else
restaurantAnnotationView.annotation = annotation;
return restaurantAnnotationView;
} else
return nil;
}
thank you in advance
I was making a mistake when applying the method viewForAnnotation, this is my code now
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) {
return nil;
}
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[RestaurantAnnotation class]]) {
RestaurantAnnotation *restauntAnnotation = (RestaurantAnnotation *)annotation;
MKAnnotationView *restaurantAnnotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:restaurantAnnotationIdentifier];
if (restaurantAnnotationView == nil) {
restaurantAnnotationView = restauntAnnotation.annotationView;
} else {
restaurantAnnotationView.annotation = annotation;
return restaurantAnnotationView;
}
}
return nil;

Change user annotation back to default blue dot in mapview

You can achieve this through your viewForAnnotation method in your MKMapViewDelegate. If this method returns nil then the map view will use the default annotation view. You can test the annotation to see if it is your subclass and then return a view or nil as appropriate. Something like -
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKAnnotationView *pin=nil;
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[Annotation class]])
{
pin=(MKAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"myAnnotation"];
if (pin == nil)
{
pin=[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"myAnnotation"];
pin.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
pin.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"mappin.png"];
pin.centerOffset=CGPointMake(0.0, pin.image.size.height/-2);
pin.canShowCallout=YES;
}
}
return pin;
}

Pins have disappeared when using MKAnnotationView delegate

My MKAnnotationView delegate method is been called as I can see my NSLog output. However the pins are not appearing on the map. Is there something I'm missing here?

In viewForAnnotation, the code is creating an MKAnnotationView but not setting an image for it. There is no default image on an MKAnnotationView so the annotations are invisible.
When you don't implement the delegate at all, the map view creates MKPinAnnotationViews for you with a red pin color. MKPinAnnotationView is a convenient subclass of MKAnnotationView which supplies a pin image (in one of three colors).
When you implement the delegate, it's up to you to create the right view and set the properties as needed.
Either create an MKPinAnnotationView instead (which provides a default pin image) or set the image property on the plain MKAnnotationView.
To use MKPinAnnotationView:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = nil;
static NSString *defaultPinID = #"identifier";
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if ( pinView == nil )
{
NSLog(#"Inside IF");
pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID];
pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed; //or Green or Purple
pinView.enabled = YES;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
//Accessoryview for the annotation view in ios.
pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = btn;
}
else
{
pinView.annotation = annotation;
}
return pinView;
}
or to use MKAnnotationView and your own image:
//same code as the current but add this line
//after the initWithAnnotation:
pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"SomeImage.png"];

MKAnnotationView - Set two different Pin colours

I'm using Parse.com as a backend and i want to show Geopoints on my map.
Every Geopoint is also connected with a database boolean field true or false.
How can I show a green pins colour for the "true" gepoint and red pins for the "false" Geopoint?
Here is code for the MapViewController.m
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet MKMapView *mapView;
I have a function to perform the query against the parse.com database to return me all location data. It is called within the viewDidLoad Method.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self getAllStations];
}
Then I set the annotationView like this:
#pragma mark - MapViewDelegate
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)geoPointAnnotation {
static NSString *MapViewAnnotationIdentifier = #"Places";
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:MapViewAnnotationIdentifier];
if (geoPointAnnotation == mapView.userLocation) {
return nil;
} else {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:geoPointAnnotation reuseIdentifier:MapViewAnnotationIdentifier];
annotationView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.draggable = YES;
annotationView.animatesDrop = YES;
}
return annotationView;
}
Here is the Code for the MapViewAnnotation.m (Object):
#import "MapViewAnnotation.h"
#import "Parse/Parse.h"
#interface MapViewAnnotation ()
#property (nonatomic, strong) PFObject *object;
#end
#implementation MapViewAnnotation
#pragma mark - Initialization
- (id)initWithObject:(PFObject *)aObject {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
_object = aObject;
PFGeoPoint *geoPoint = self.object[#"location"];
[self setGeoPoint:geoPoint]; }
return self;
}
- (void)setGeoPoint:(PFGeoPoint *)geoPoint {
_coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(geoPoint.latitude, geoPoint.longitude);
NSString *streetName = self.object[#"adress"];
_title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [_object objectForKey:#"name"]];
[PFGeoPoint geoPointForCurrentLocationInBackground:^(PFGeoPoint *currentLocationGeoPoint, NSError *error) { //Get current Location
if (!error) {
PFGeoPoint *distanceGeoPoint = [_object objectForKey:#"location"];
double distanceDouble = [currentLocationGeoPoint distanceInKilometersTo:distanceGeoPoint];
//NSLog(#"Distance: %.1f",distanceDouble);
_subtitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# - Distance: %.1f km", streetName, distanceDouble];
}
}];
}
#end
Can anyone give me a hint how I can show green and red pins based on a boolean?
Thanks in advance!
You can customize the pin annotation view,
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)theMapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
{
return nil;
}
MKAnnotationView *flagAnnotationView =
[self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:SFAnnotationIdentifier];
if (flagAnnotationView == nil)
{
MKPinAnnotationView *customPinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:SFAnnotationIdentifier];
if(annotation.coordinate.latitude==42.0000 && annotation.coordinate.longitude==-87.65000)
//you have to keep the latitude and longitude of the pins to which you can set the colour of the pin according to that latlong
customPinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
else
customPinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
customPinView.animatesDrop = YES;
customPinView.canShowCallout = YES;
return customPinView;
}
else
{
flagAnnotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
return flagAnnotationView;
return nil;
}
in your annotation.h file declare a nsstring as below
#property (strong , nonatomic)NSString *pinColour;
and in the implemention file do the below to check for the colour
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id)annotation{
//other code above
if ([[annotation pinColour] isEqualToString:#"Red"]) {
annotationView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
}else{
annotationView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
}
and inside the for loop of parse, tag the relevant with to pass wither colour
annotation.pinColour = #"Red";
Can anyone give me a hint how I can show green and red pins based on a boolean?
BOOL colorRed = YES;
if (colorRed) annotationView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
else annotationView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
Is that what you mean?

And here's the code adding my pins; it isn't fired until an api call is made, which is after viewDidAppear is fired:
- (void)placeAnnotations:(NSArray *)shows
{
NSEnumerator *e = [shows objectEnumerator];
id show;
NSMutableArray *annotations = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
while (show = [e nextObject]) {
double lat = [[[[[show objectForKey:#"venue"] objectForKey:#"location"] objectForKey:#"geo:point"] objectForKey:#"geo:lat"] doubleValue];
double lng = [[[[[show objectForKey:#"venue"] objectForKey:#"location"] objectForKey:#"geo:point"] objectForKey:#"geo:long"] doubleValue];
ShowAnnotation *annotation = [[ShowAnnotation alloc]
initWithCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(lat, lng)
withMap:self.mapController.mapView
withTitle:[show objectForKey:#"title"]
withSubtitle:[[show objectForKey:#"venue"] objectForKey:#"name" ]];
[annotations addObject:annotation];
}
NSLog(#"adding annotations");
[self.mapController.mapView addAnnotations:annotations];
}
The log shows "delegating user location", but never "delegating pins". It doesn't even fire viewForAnnotation more than the one initial time for the user's location.
The delegation seems to be working, otherwise I wouldn't be able to capture this selector, but why is it firing for only the user location and not firing for subsequent annotation additions?
