How to make custom MKPolyline in SWIFT with additional argument - color


Can any help me with making custom MKPolyline with additional argument Color?

CustomPolyline.swift

import Foundation
import MapKit
class CustomPolyline : MKPolyline {
    let coordinates: UnsafeMutablePointer<CLLocationCoordinate2D>
    let count : Int = 0
    let color : String = "ff0000"
    init(coordinates: UnsafeMutablePointer<CLLocationCoordinate2D>, count: Int, color: String) {

        self.coordinates = coordinates
        self.count = count
        self.color = color
    }
}

Init

Polyline = CustomPolyline(coordinates: &Path, count: Path.count, color: "ff0000")
self.mapView.addOverlay(Polyline)

func mapView(mapView: MKMapView!, rendererForOverlay overlay: MKOverlay!) -> MKOverlayRenderer! {      
        if (overlay is CustomPolyline) {
            var pr = MKPolylineRenderer(overlay: overlay);
            pr.strokeColor = UIColor.colorWithRGBHex(0xff0000).colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5);
            pr.lineWidth = 10;
            return pr;
        }

        return nil
    }

My solution doesn't work and I can't figure it out why. Polylines isn't visible at all. I'm a beginner in SWIFT so I think that problem is with my CustomPolyline class. Thanks for help.


Solution

  • It can be done much more simpler than I throught:

    Class

    import Foundation
    import MapKit
    
    class CustomPolyline : MKPolyline {
    
        var color: String?
    }
    

    Init

    cPolyline = CustomPolyline(coordinates: &Path, count: Path.count)
    cPolyline.color = "#ff0000"
    self.mapView.addOverlay(cPolyline)
    
    func mapView(mapView: MKMapView!, rendererForOverlay overlay: CustomPolyline!) -> MKOverlayRenderer! {      
    
                var pr = MKPolylineRenderer(overlay: overlay);
                pr.strokeColor = UIColor(rgba: overlay.color);
                pr.lineWidth = 10;
                return pr;
    
        }
