In which case that mapView:viewForAnnotation: will be called?
annotations, ios, iphone, mkmapview, mkmapviewdelegate
Solution
Whenever you call `addAnnotation` method `- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id < MKAnnotation >)annotation` gets called. Have look at the screenshot.
You can find this on MKMapView Class Reference
P.S. Put breakpoints at `addAnnotation` call and `- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id < MKAnnotation >)annotation` you will see the flow of function call easily.
Problem
Now I want to add a static pin annotation on map in my iOS app. But I just want to know if the delegate method mapView:viewForAnnotation: will be called. In the Apple documentation, it is said that ``` When it needs an annotation view, the map view calls the mapView:viewForAnnotation: method of its delegate object. ``` I have read several tutorials from Internet and official documentation from Apple. And I still don't when this method will be called.
