I have a mapView with annotations displaying titles and subtitles. The subtitles are sometimes longer than the width of the annotation, so I am wondering if i can make them multiline? It's coded like this so far:
func annotate(newCoordinate, title: String, subtitle: String) {
let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = newCoordinate
annotation.title = title
annotation.subtitle = subtitle
self.map.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
Then i have a few options set in
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {...}
which are not relevant here.
Is it posible to make a custom annotation view? I've tried a couple of things, but nothing worked. The closest I can get is adding a button to display the longer subtitle separately, but i'd rather have it inside the annotation.
Is it possible?
I figured it out, I added a label in viewForAnnotation and it just worked
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if annotation is MKUserLocation {
//return nil so map view draws "blue dot" for standard user location
return nil
}
let reuseId = "pin"
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier(reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView
if pinView == nil {
pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
pinView!.canShowCallout = true
}
else {
pinView!.annotation = annotation
}
//THIS IS THE GOOD BIT
let subtitleView = UILabel()
subtitleView.font = subtitleView.font.fontWithSize(12)
subtitleView.numberOfLines = 0
subtitleView.text = annotation.subtitle!
pinView!.detailCalloutAccessoryView = subtitleView
return pinView
}
