callout is not showing by default in map


I am trying to show callout on a pin by without clicking on the pin.In short, I want show the callout when the pins are getting placed on the map.

This is code I am using:

-(MKAnnotationView*)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation         //  Method to handle all the annotations on map.
{

    if([annotation isKindOfClass: [MKUserLocation class]])
        return nil;

    static NSString *annotationID = @"MyAnnotation";

    MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView*)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:annotationID] ;

    if (!pinView) {
        pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:annotationID];
        pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
        pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"map_pin.png"];

        //Setting Right call button
        pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];

        //Setting Left Call button
        self.favButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        self.favButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 23);
        self.favButton.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
        self.favButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
        [self.favButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"favourite.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        pinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = self.favButton;

        [self.mapView selectAnnotation:annotation animated:YES];
    }
    return pinView;

}

Any help would be appreciable.


Solution

  • Try with This :

    - (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views{
        for (id<MKAnnotation> currentAnnotation in mapView.annotations) {
            if ([currentAnnotation isEqual:annotationToSelect]) {
                [mapView selectAnnotation:currentAnnotation animated:YES];
            }
        }
    }
    

    OR

    EDIT : -(MKAnnotationView*)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id)annotation // Method to handle all the annotations on map. {

    if([annotation isKindOfClass: [MKUserLocation class]])
        return nil;
    
    static NSString *annotationID = @"MyAnnotation";
    
    MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView*)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:annotationID] ;
    
    if (!pinView) {
        pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:annotationID];
        pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
        pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"map_pin.png"];
    
        //Setting Right call button
        pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
    
        //Setting Left Call button
        self.favButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        self.favButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 23);
        self.favButton.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
        self.favButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
        [self.favButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"favourite.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        pinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = self.favButton;
    
                **[self performSelector:@selector(selectAnnotation:) withObject:annotation afterDelay:0.5];**
    
    }
    return pinView;
    

    }

    - (void)selectAnnotation:(id < MKAnnotation >)annotation
    {
        [self.mapView selectAnnotation:annotation animated:NO];
    }
