I want to show a VC as a pop up when the user taps on one of the markers on the Google Map.
The reason that I want to do this is because I want to control the view that pops up when the marker is tapped. I tried using the mapView(mapView: GMSMapView, markerInfoWindow marker: GMSMarker)
delegate method. But I don't know how to create a view controller in that method that controls the marker info window's view.
To present a VC as a pop over, I did this:
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MarkerInfoController")
vc.modalInPopover = true
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
print(marker.iconView)
vc.popoverPresentationController!.sourceView = marker.iconView
self.presentVC(vc) // this is from EZSwiftExtensions. Don't worry about it
The problem arises when I try to set the sourceView
of the UIPopoverPresentationController
. I thought using the iconView
property would work, but no. There is always an error saying that sourceView
is not set.
How can I get the UIView
instance for the marker, so that I can assign it to sourceView
?
P.S. This is how a marker is created:
func mapView(mapView: GMSMapView, didLongPressAtCoordinate coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
let marker = GMSMarker(position: coordinate)
marker.map = mapView
}
from How to get the UIView instance for a Google Map marker?
