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

This worked well for me. Cant remember where i found it on here though

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

for (aV in views) {

    // Don't pin drop if annotation is user location
    if ([aV.annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) {
        continue;
    }

    // Check if current annotation is inside visible map rect, else go to next one
    MKMapPoint point =  MKMapPointForCoordinate(aV.annotation.coordinate);
    if (!MKMapRectContainsPoint(self.mapView.visibleMapRect, point)) {
        continue;
    }

    CGRect endFrame = aV.frame;

    // Move annotation out of view
    aV.frame = CGRectMake(aV.frame.origin.x, aV.frame.origin.y - self.view.frame.size.height, aV.frame.size.width, aV.frame.size.height);

    // Animate drop
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 delay:0.03*[views indexOfObject:aV] options:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear animations:^{

        aV.frame = endFrame;

        // Animate squash
    }completion:^(BOOL finished){
        if (finished) {
            [UIView animateWithDuration:0.05 animations:^{
                aV.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.0, 0.8);

            }completion:^(BOOL finished){
                if (finished) {
                    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
                        aV.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
                    }];
                }
            }];
        }
    }];
    }
}
