How to detect zoom vs drag event on MKMapView.
I want to reload the map in case users want to drag/scroll map to new position. I don't want to reload the Map with zoom in/out event.
I found a solution:
regionDidChangeAnimated
delegate method, get new zoom level of the Map and check it with the previous level.This is my code:
#define MERCATOR_RADIUS 85445659.44705395
#define kVerySmallValue (0.000001)
- (BOOL)compare2Double:(double)first isEqualTo:(double)second {
if(fabs(first - second) < kVerySmallValue)
return YES;
else
return NO;
}
- (double)getZoomLevel
{
static double maxGoogleLevels = -1.0;
if (maxGoogleLevels < 0.0)
maxGoogleLevels = log2(MKMapSizeWorld.width / 256.0);
CLLocationDegrees longitudeDelta = self.mapView.region.span.longitudeDelta;
CGFloat mapWidthInPixels = self.mapView.bounds.size.width;
double zoomScale = longitudeDelta * MERCATOR_RADIUS * M_PI / (180.0 * mapWidthInPixels);
double zoomer = maxGoogleLevels - log2( zoomScale );
if ( zoomer < 0 ) zoomer = 0;
NSLog(@"zoom: %f",zoomer);
return zoomer;
}
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionDidChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated {
double newZoom = [self getZoomLevel];
if ([self compareDouble:newZoom isEqualTo:zoomLevel]) {
NSLog(@"Drag");
}else{
zoomLevel = newZoom;
NSLog(@"Zoom");
}
}
