POCan't assign a google maps map to custom view
text
Body
copied!<p>So I followed <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/map?hl=sv#add_a_map" rel="nofollow">this guide</a> on how to add a Google map to an iOS application and it all works fine. But what I want to do is assign the map, not to <code>self.view</code> but a custom view I dragged out on to the storyboard inside(?) the other view, because when adding the map to <code>self.view</code> I can't add other elements, like buttons, or well, I probably can but I don't know how.</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>// Start locationmanager locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; locationManager.delegate = self; [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; // Set up the startposition for the camera when the app first starts. GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:59.34702 longitude:18.04053 zoom:10]; mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera]; self.view = mapView_; </code></pre> <p>So i created a <code>UIView</code> inside the view currently containing the map and ctrl dragged it to create an outlet called mapView in that <code>viewController</code>. So i changed the line of code from</p> <pre><code>self.view = _mapView; </code></pre> <p>to</p> <pre><code>self.mapView = _mapView; </code></pre> <p>but this does not seem to work at all, just blank. Both <code>self.view</code> and <code>self.mapsView</code> are instances of <code>UIView</code>, so why does this not work?</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>This is what my viewDidLoad looks like atm:</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; [self.mapView addSubview:mapView_]; // Start locationmanager locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; locationManager.delegate = self; [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; // Standard cameraposition GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:59.34702 longitude:18.04053 zoom:10]; mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:self.mapView.frame camera:camera]; self.mapView = mapView_; } </code></pre>
