I am looking at Apple's MapCallouts example for map annotations and callouts (==bubbles that appear when you click on a pin). Every annotation there has coordinates, title and subtitle. I would like to display subtitle in 2 lines, i tried with:
- (NSString *)subtitle
{
return @"Founded: June 29, 1776\nSecond line text";
}
but the text "Second line text" stays in one line and makes bubble wider.I get this:
I would also like to change image of the button to one of my own's, the code that sets the button is currently like this:
UIButton* rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
Any ideas?
EDIT: I tried 7KV7's advice. Button change is successful, but i still cant get subtitles in 2 lines. My code:
MKPinAnnotationView* customPinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:BridgeAnnotationIdentifier] autorelease];
customPinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorPurple;
customPinView.animatesDrop = YES;
// Button
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 23);
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
//UIEdgeInsets titleInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(7.0, -20.0, 7.0, 7.0);
//button.titleEdgeInsets = titleInsets;
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ic_phone_default.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ic_phone_selected.png"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ic_phone_selected.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(showDetails:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
customPinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = button;
//two labels
UIView *leftCAV = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,50,50)];
//[leftCAV addSubview : button];
UILabel *l1=[[UILabel alloc] init];
l1.frame=CGRectMake(0, 15, 50, 50);
l1.text=@"First line of subtitle";
l1.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:(10.0)];
UILabel *l2=[[UILabel alloc] init];
l2.frame=CGRectMake(0, 30, 50, 50);
l2.text=@"Second line of subtitle";
l2.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:(10.0)];
[leftCAV addSubview : l1];
[leftCAV addSubview : l2];
customPinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = leftCAV;
//customPinView.
customPinView.canShowCallout = YES;
return customPinView;
I get this:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"loc"];
// Button
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 23);
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:yourImageName] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[advertButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPress:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = button;
// Image and two labels
UIView *leftCAV = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,23,23)];
[leftCAV addSubview : yourImageView];
[leftCAV addSubview : yourFirstLabel];
[leftCAV addSubview : yourSecondLabel];
annotationView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = leftCAV;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
return pin;
}
UPDATE
The default style for annotations only supports the title and subtitle. Neither title nor subtitle can include line breaks. You cannot do this without subclassing.
To use a custom view review Apple's sample code:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/WeatherMap/Introduction/Intro.html
I also think there is a problem in your code
UILabel *l1=[[UILabel alloc] init];
l1.frame=CGRectMake(0, 15, 50, 50);
l1.text=@"First line of subtitle";
l1.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:(10.0)];
UILabel *l2=[[UILabel alloc] init];
l2.frame=CGRectMake(0, 30, 50, 50);
l2.text=@"Second line of subtitle";
l2.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:(10.0)];
[leftCAV addSubview : l1];
[leftCAV addSubview : l2];
l1 has a frame (0, 15, 50, 50) and l2 has (0, 30, 50, 50). Wont these two overlap? I mean l1 will start from y=15 and its height is 50. so when l2 starts from 30 it may overlap.. Can you pls check by changing the frames
