I had to get the coordonate of a point where the user touch on a MKMapView. I'm not working with the Interface Builder. Can you give me one example or a link.
Thanks a lot

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
You can use a UILongPressGestureRecognizer for this. Wherever you create or initialize the mapview, first attach the recognizer to it:
ReplyDeleteUILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 2.0; //user needs to press for 2 seconds
[self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[lpgr release];
Then in the gesture handler:
- (void)handleLongPress:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan)
return;
CGPoint touchPoint = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.mapView];
CLLocationCoordinate2D touchMapCoordinate =
[self.mapView convertPoint:touchPoint toCoordinateFromView:self.mapView];
YourMKAnnotationClass *annot = [[YourMKAnnotationClass alloc] init];
annot.coordinate = touchMapCoordinate;
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annot];
[annot release];
}
YourMKAnnotationClass is a class you define that conforms to the MKAnnotation protocol. If your app will only be running on iOS 4.0 or later, you can use the pre-defined MKPointAnnotation class instead.
For examples on creating your own MKAnnotation class, see the sample apps WeatherMap and MapCallouts.
I have a UIImageView with a UILongPressGestureRecognizer attached that never seems to detect a long press gesture no matter how I configure the gesture recognizer.
