How To add custom View in map's Annotation's Callout's

Question

Here is my code. I want to add my own custom callout view instead of iOS default. I know there is only left callout and right callout view, but I need to add a view tooltip

Answer 1

To the best answer above in Swift

This can save some minutes to rewrite itself.

!NOTE:

There is one caveat which however can be easily fixed, your custom view will ignore touch events, because of mapView working with touches differently. Here's a quick fix:

1) Subclass MKAnnotationView (or MKPinAnnotationView depends on what you need)

2) in your mapView delegate

func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView?

use your subclass instead of MKAnnotationView/MKPinAnnotationView

3) in your subclass .m file override two methods as following:

override func hitTest(point: CGPoint, withEvent event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {

    let hitView = super.hitTest(point, withEvent: event)

    if (hitView != nil)
    {
        self.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(self)
    }

    return hitView;

}

override func pointInside(point: CGPoint, withEvent event: UIEvent?) -> Bool {

    let rect = self.bounds
    var isInside = CGRectContainsPoint(rect, point)

    if(!isInside) {
        for view in self.subviews {

            isInside = CGRectContainsPoint(view.frame, point)
            break;
        }
    }

    return isInside
}
