Add image behind MKPinAnnotationView

Question

I\'m trying to add an image behind a MKPinAnnotationView. Seems like it should be rather easy to just do this in here:

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didAd         


        

Answer 1

Thanks for the input, here's basically what I ended up doing without subclassing:

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id )annotation {

    MKAnnotationView *annView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:nil];

    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
    [annView addSubview:imageView];
    [imageView release];

    MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:nil];     
    [annView addSubview:pinView];
    [pinView release];

    return annView;
}

I only needed one pin, so I set reuseIdentifier to nil.
