how to add UITextField in MKAnnotationView Title


I try like this, but it isn't work. How can i do this ?

MKAnnotationView *pointTest = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] init];
    pointTest.annotation = point;
    pointTest.draggable= YES;

    UITextField *pointText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(location.latitude, location.longitude, 100, 20)];
    pointText.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    pointTest.rightCalloutAccessoryView = pointText;
    pointTest.canShowCallout = YES;
    [self.userMap addAnnotation:pointTest];

Solution

  • First of all, you are setting a wrong frame for the pointText UITextField, latitude and longitude are not screen coordinates, it should be implemented like this:

    CGFloat originX = 0; //Or other value
    CGFLoat originY = 0; //Or other value
    UITextField *pointText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(originX, originY, 100, 20)];
    

    You may also need to set canShowCallout to YES:

    pointTest.canShowCallout = YES;
    

    Then, you are setting the rightCalloutAccessoryView as an UITextField, which is not the best thing to do. A common view to specify for this property is UIButton object whose type is set to UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure. For titles and subtitles, I prefer using the annotation attribute:

    point.title = "Your title";
    pointTest.annotation = point;
    

    You should check the apple documentation.
