Intercepting/Hijacking iPhone Touch Events for MKMapView

Question

Is there a bug in the 3.0 SDK that disables real-time zooming and intercepting the zoom-in gesture for the MKMapView? I have some real simple code so I can detect tap event

Answer 1

To extend up on @chomasek's answer, in order to only process those touches for the map view, I do the following:

1. Give the map view a tag, like 99
2. When I get touch, traverse up the view hierarchy of the receiving view, looking for a view with the above tag.

Here is the code:

// this is in the view controller containing the map view
// kICTagForMapView is just a constant
_mapView.tag = kICTagForMapView;

Then in sendEvent:

// this does into the UIWindow subclass
BOOL isMapView = NO;    
UIView* superView = touch.view.superview;
while(superView)
{
    //Debug(@"superView = %@", superView);
    if (superView.tag == kICTagForMapView)
    {
        isMapView = YES;
        break;
    }
    superView = superView.superview;
}

if (isMapView == NO) return;

// do stuff here
