MKAnnotationMethod animatesDrop not working

Question

I have made it so that the UILongPressGestureRecognizer drops a pin, but I want it to be animated. So I try and set the animatesDrop property in the press: method, and I do not get any errors, but it is not working. I do not know if I set the property in the wrong place, or what.

Here is the code.

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
    UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self
                                                                                       action:@selector(press:)];
longPress.minimumPressDuration = 0.5f; //user needs to press for 2 seconds
[longPress setDelegate:self];
[worldView addGestureRecognizer:longPress];
[worldView setShowsUserLocation:YES];

}

-(void)press:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)recognizer
{
    CGPoint touchPoint = [recognizer locationInView:worldView];
    CLLocationCoordinate2D touchMapCoordinate = [worldView convertPoint:touchPoint toCoordinateFromView:worldView];

if (UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan == recognizer.state) {
    BNRMapPoint *mp = [[BNRMapPoint alloc]initWithCoordinate:touchMapCoordinate
                                                       title:@"Some Title"];
    [worldView addAnnotation:mp];
    [mp setAnimatesDrop:YES];
}

}

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

setAnimatesDrop: is a method of MKPinAnnotationView, while your BNRMapPoint seems like annotation class implementing the MKAnnotation protocol.

You need to provide mapView:viewForAnnotation: method to return an MKPinAnnotationView for your annotation, where you can set MKPinAnnotationView's animatesDrop property to YES.

You can refer to Apple's sample code MapCallouts.
