Trigger event with infoWindow or InfoBox on click Google Map API V3

Question

I want to know how to trigger an event when I click on an infoWindow using Google Maps API v3. In this example, when I click on a marker, an info window shows up with a uni

Answer 1

The InfoWindow object does not have a 'click' event, so you cannot do

google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'click',....

instead, you can attach an event handler to the DOM object, such as

function addMarker(latLng, name){

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map:map,
    position:latLng
});

G.event.addListener(marker,'click',function(mev){
        var div = document.createElement('div');
        div.innerHTML = name;
        div.onclick = function(){iwClick(name)};
        infoWindow.setContent(div);
        infoWindow.setPosition(mev.latLng);
        infoWindow.open(map);

    });
}

function iwClick(str){
    alert(str);
};

and you call it with

var chicago = new google.maps.LatLng(41.850033, -87.6500523);
addMarker(chicago,'chicago');

Answer 2

my solution: try use onClick in xml

<InfoWindow  onCloseClick={props.onToggleOpen}>
     <div onClick={()=>{alert('hello')}} class="wow slideInLeft">
        <img src="https://i.imgur.com/7IgBxnH.jpg" width="150px" />
        <div>nhà trọ cho thuê</div>
         <div>1.500.000đ</div>
     </div>
 </InfoWindow>

Answer 3

Thanks for all your comments. I manage to build (after reading your suggestions) an example that works without modifying the Infowindow code.

The infoWindow itself should only contain a placeholder div with a unique id:

    <InfoWindow
        marker={this.state.activeMarker}
        visible={this.state.showingInfoWindow}
        onOpen={e => {
          this.onInfoWindowOpen(this.props, e);
        }}
      >
        <div id="xyz" />
      </InfoWindow>

And inside the Mapcontainer, you define an onInfoWindowOpen callback, that inserts a single component/container with the onClick event and render it to a placeholder div:

    onInfoWindowOpen = () => {
        const button = (<button 
        onClick={
            () => {
            this.viewClinic(this.state.selectedPlace.slug)
            }
            }>
            View Details
        </button>);
        ReactDOM.render(React.Children.only(button),document.getElementById("xyz"));
        }

Thanx! Erin is tha man! You fixed my problem! I was bashing it for 4 days now! Closures are a pain in the * if you are new to them.

Here's is my working code (Sencha Touch 2 and Google maps API v3). It will oly allow one infowindow to be open.

var openedInfoWindow = null;
var boxList = [];
var marker, i;

//build info box object
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
    enableEventPropagation: true,
});

//handle close
google.maps.event.addListener(infoWindow, 'closeclick', function() {
    openedInfoWindow = null;
});

//loop trough store data...
for(i in data) {
    //data
    var itemData = data[i].getData();

    //marker
    var geopos = new google.maps.LatLng(itemData['lat'], itemData['lng']);
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: geopos,
        //icon: image,
        map: map,
        title: itemData['title'],
        id: i,
        animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP
    });

    //add info window content to DOM
    var boxText = document.createElement("div");
    boxText.id = i;
    boxText.className = "labelText" + i;
    boxText.data = itemData;
    boxText.innerHTML = '<b>' + itemData['title'] + '</b>' + (itemData['distance'] ? ' (' + itemData['distance'] + ')' : '') + '<br />' + (itemData['address'] != itemData['title'] ? itemData['address'] : '') + (itemData['price'] ? '<br />' + itemData['price'] : '') + '<br /><a class="button">Meer info</a>';
    boxList.push(boxText);

    //add marker click event
    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
        if (openedInfoWindow != null)
            openedInfoWindow.close();

        return function() {
            infoWindow.setContent(boxList[this.id]);
            infoWindow.open(map, marker);
            openedInfoWindow = infoWindow;
        }
    })(marker, i));

    //when infowindow is clicked, open view...
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(boxList[i],'click',(function(marker, i) {
        return function(){
            iStuddy.app.pushView('kames_detail',boxList[i].data);
        }
    })(marker, i));
}

Ok I figured this out for infoWindow, but then I also figured it out for InfoBox since it is prettier and more customizable. I'm new to JavaScript and these closures can be very tricky.

For infoWindow
