I have a map view that adds annotations more or less like this:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView
viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:@"MKPinAnnotationView"];
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIButton *detailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
[detailButton addTarget:self
action:@selector(handleButtonAction)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = detailButton;
return annotationView;
}
In iOS 7, this puts an “i” icon on the right-hand side of the callout. Tapping on the icon triggers mapView:annotationView:calloutAccessoryControlTapped:
(on the delegate) and handleButtonAction:
(on self). I recently realized, though, that you can also tap anywhere else on the callout and the same two methods are fired.
This happens with a button of type UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure
but it doesn’t seem to happen with a UIButtonTypeCustom
button. The delegate method is also not fired when I tap on the callout when there’s no accessory view at all. (That behavior isn’t surprising, of course; what’s surprising is that if the accessory view is a detail-disclosure button then these two methods are fired regardless of whether you tap on the button itself or just somewhere else in the callout.)
I’d like to get rid of the button in the callout—or at least replace it with a button showing my own image instead of the stock “i” icon—while still allowing the user to tap anywhere on the callout to trigger my action. Is this possible? I don’t see an MKMapViewDelegate
method that corresponds to “callout tapped”.
