Custom pin animation - MKMapView

Question

I have used pin images in application instead of standard pin, now i want to give animation (dropping effect as it was with standard pins) to custom pins. How can i provide

Answer 1

It feels also a lot cooler if you do not drop all the pins at once but drop each of them with a small delay so that it will look like there is a rain of pins effect. Similar to what Apple does natively. Use this:

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views { 
    MKAnnotationView *aV; 

    float delay = 0.00;

    for (aV in views) {
        CGRect endFrame = aV.frame;

        aV.frame = CGRectMake(aV.frame.origin.x, aV.frame.origin.y - 430.0, aV.frame.size.width, aV.frame.size.height);
        delay = delay + 0.01;

        [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
        [UIView setAnimationDelay:delay];
        [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.45];
        [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
        [aV setFrame:endFrame];
        [UIView commitAnimations];
    }
}
