Clean solution to know which MKAnnotation has been tapped?

Question

Ok, so you typically have some object X you want to be annotated inside a MKMapView. You do this way:

DDAnnotation *annotation = [[DDAnnotation alloc] initWithCo         


        

Answer 1

I did this and it worked alright!

It's exactly what I need because I needed to do something when the map was tapped but letting the tap into the annotation flow normally.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UIGestureRecognizer *g = [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleGesture:)] autorelease];
    g.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
    [self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:g];

}

- (void) handleGesture:(UIGestureRecognizer*)g{
    if( g.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded ){
        NSSet *visibleAnnotations = [self.mapView annotationsInMapRect:self.mapView.visibleMapRect];
        for ( id annotation in visibleAnnotations.allObjects ){
            UIView *av = [self.mapView viewForAnnotation:annotation];
            CGPoint point = [g locationInView:av];
            if( [av pointInside:point withEvent:nil] ){
                // do what you wanna do when Annotation View has been tapped!
                return;
            }   
        }
        //do what you wanna do when map is tapped
    }
 }
