I have implemented code as seen below. I would like to add animation with dropping effect. However, once I type pinView.animatesDrop does not recognize! I could not able to figure out what I am doing wrong? - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mV viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation { MKAnnotationView *pinView=nil; if(![annotation isKindOfClass:[Annotation class]]) // Don't mess user location return nil; static NSString *defaultPinID = @"StandardIdentifier"; pinView = (MKAnnotationView *)[self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID]; if (pinView == nil){ pinView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID]; } // Build our annotation if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[Annotation class]]) { Annotation *a = (Annotation *)annotation; pinView.image = [ZSPinAnnotation pinAnnotationWithColor:a.color];// ZSPinAnnotation Being Used pinView.annotation = a; pinView.enabled = YES; pinView.centerOffset=CGPointMake(6.5,-16); pinView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-11,0); //pinView.animatesDrop = YES; } pinView.canShowCallout = YES; UIButton *rightButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure]; [rightButton setTitle:annotation.title forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [pinView setRightCalloutAccessoryView:rightButton]; pinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = [[UIView alloc] init]; pinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView=nil; /*UIButton *leftButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight]; [leftButton setTitle:annotation.title forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [pinView setLeftCalloutAccessoryView:leftButton];*/ return pinView; }
