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

Create a new composite annotationview that first adds your image and then the actual MKAnnotationView:

@implementation MyCustomAnnotationView

- (void) viewDidLoad 
{   
    // First add the image to our subviews
    UIImageView *view = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: myImageProperty];
    [self.view addSubview: view];
    [view release];

    // Then add the MKAnnotationView on top of it
    MKAnnotationView *annotation = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] init]; 
    [self.view addSubview: annotation]; 
    [annotation release];
}
