Question

I have searched but i didn’t found any solution to my problem. I want to change already added pin. And here is my code. I’m getting “Code Here” in console.

I have in .h

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView         *)annotationView;

myViewController.m

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)annotationView
{
    userPins *myAnnot = (userPins *)annotationView.annotation;
    [myAnnot setTitle:@"o21"];
    NSLog(@"Code here!");
}

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
    static NSString *identifier = @"userPins";   
    if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[userPins class]]) {

        MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
        if (annotationView == nil) {
            annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
        } else {
            annotationView.annotation = annotation;
        }

        annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"mapMarker-blue.png"];
        annotationView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(0,0);

        UIButton *detailButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
        annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = detailButton;

        annotationView.enabled = YES;
        annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;

        return annotationView;

    }

    return nil;   

}

In userPins.m i have. But i didn’t do this with setTitle too.

- (void)setTitle:(NSString *)title {
    if (_subtitle != subtitle) {
        [_subtitle release];
        _subtitle = [subtitle retain];
    }
}

- (NSString *)title{
    return @"okan";
}

Edit: @AnnaKarenina

I have tried all. But setTitle is not running. I’m going crazy! This is all of my code. And I’m not getting errors.

userpins.m

#import "userPins.h"

@implementation userPins
@synthesize fbid = _fbid;
@synthesize coordinate = _coordinate;
@synthesize title = _title;
@synthesize subtitle = _subtitle;


- (id)initWithfbid:(NSInteger*)fbid 
        coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate {
    if ((self = [super init])) {
        _fbid = fbid;
        _coordinate = coordinate;
    }
    return self;
}


- (NSString *)subtitle{
    return @"Anything";
}
- (NSString *)title{
    return @"Something";
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [_title release];
    [_subtitle release];
    [super dealloc];

Answer 1

The setTitle: and title methods in userPins.m don’t look right.

The setTitle: method is looking at and setting subtitle instead of title. The title method returns a constant string so even if setTitle: set the title ivar, the annotation will return the same constant string.

You could fix those methods or just declare title and subtitle as copy properties and @synthesize them in userPins.m (and release in dealloc). Then you don’t need those methods at all (they will be implemented automatically).

By the way, when you add the annotation, be sure to set the title to something (even a single space) otherwise the callout will not display and didSelectAnnotationView will not be called.

A separate problem is a memory leak in viewForAnnotation. You should add an autorelease where you alloc+init annotationView.

Regarding The Updated Code:

In userPins.m, it still returns constant strings for subtitle and title thus hiding the changed ivars. Change it to:

- (id)initWithfbid:(NSInteger*)fbid 
        coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate {
    if ((self = [super init])) {
        _fbid = fbid;
        _coordinate = coordinate;

        //init the ivars here...
        _title = @"Something";
        _subtitle = @"Anything";
    }
    return self;
}

/* comment these methods out
- (NSString *)subtitle{
    return @"Anything";
}
- (NSString *)title{
    return @"Something";
}
*/

A new, unrelated problem is that fbid should probably be NSNumber * instead of NSInteger *. NSInteger is not an object and an NSNumber is what the JSON parser is most likely giving you.
