How to search for location and display results with MapKit Swift 4 - mapkit

Question

I am developing an application with Swift 4 (Xcode 9.2).
I followed this tutorial. I get my location my location but when I search for a place, the map was hidden: Search a place and it reappear just when I delete all what I write in the search bar as the original one(just My location).
Here is my code :
protocol HandleMapSearch: class {
func dropPinZoomIn(placemark:MKPlacemark)
}
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var selectedPin: MKPlacemark?
var resultSearchController: UISearchController!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
#IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.requestLocation()
let locationSearchTable = storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LocationSearchTable") as! LocationSearchTable
resultSearchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: locationSearchTable)
resultSearchController.searchResultsUpdater = locationSearchTable as UISearchResultsUpdating
let searchBar = resultSearchController!.searchBar
searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchBar.placeholder = "Search for places"
navigationItem.titleView = resultSearchController?.searchBar
resultSearchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
resultSearchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
definesPresentationContext = true
locationSearchTable.mapView = mapView
locationSearchTable.handleMapSearchDelegate = self
}
#objc func getDirections(){
guard let selectedPin = selectedPin else { return }
let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: selectedPin)
let launchOptions = [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving]
mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: launchOptions)
}
}
extension ViewController : CLLocationManagerDelegate {
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("error:: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
locationManager.requestLocation()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if locations.first != nil {
print("location:: (location)")
}
}
}
extension ViewController: HandleMapSearch {
func dropPinZoomIn(placemark: MKPlacemark){
// cache the pin
selectedPin = placemark
// clear existing pins
mapView.removeAnnotations(mapView.annotations)
let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = placemark.coordinate
annotation.title = placemark.name
if let city = placemark.locality,
let state = placemark.administrativeArea {
annotation.subtitle = "\(city) \(state)"
}
mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.05, 0.05)
let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(placemark.coordinate, span)
mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
}
}
extension ViewController : MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView?{
guard !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else { return nil }
let reuseId = "pin"
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView
if pinView == nil {
pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
}
pinView?.pinTintColor = UIColor.orange
pinView?.canShowCallout = true
let smallSquare = CGSize(width: 30, height: 30)
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: smallSquare))
//button.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "car"), for: .Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.getDirections), for: .touchUpInside)
pinView?.leftCalloutAccessoryView = button
return pinView
}
}
and this is the LocationSearchTable :
class LocationSearchTable: UITableViewController {
weak var handleMapSearchDelegate: HandleMapSearch?
var matchingItems: [MKMapItem] = []
var mapView: MKMapView?
func parseAddress(selectedItem:MKPlacemark) -> String {
// put a space between "4" and "Melrose Place"
let firstSpace = (selectedItem.subThoroughfare != nil &&
selectedItem.thoroughfare != nil) ? " " : ""
// put a comma between street and city/state
let comma = (selectedItem.subThoroughfare != nil || selectedItem.thoroughfare != nil) &&
(selectedItem.subAdministrativeArea != nil || selectedItem.administrativeArea != nil) ? ", " : ""
// put a space between "Washington" and "DC"
let secondSpace = (selectedItem.subAdministrativeArea != nil &&
selectedItem.administrativeArea != nil) ? " " : ""
let addressLine = String(
format:"%#%#%#%#%#%#%#",
// street number
selectedItem.subThoroughfare ?? "",
firstSpace,
// street name
selectedItem.thoroughfare ?? "",
comma,
// city
selectedItem.locality ?? "",
secondSpace,
// state
selectedItem.administrativeArea ?? ""
)
return addressLine
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable : UISearchResultsUpdating {
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
}
func updateSearchResultsForSearchController(searchController: UISearchController) {
guard let mapView = mapView,
let searchBarText = searchController.searchBar.text else { return }
let request = MKLocalSearchRequest()
request.naturalLanguageQuery = searchBarText
request.region = mapView.region
let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request)
search.start { response, _ in
guard let response = response else {
return
}
self.matchingItems = response.mapItems
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable {
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return matchingItems.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")!
let selectedItem = matchingItems[indexPath.row].placemark
cell.textLabel?.text = selectedItem.name
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = parseAddress(selectedItem: selectedItem)
return cell
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable {
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let selectedItem = matchingItems[indexPath.row].placemark
handleMapSearchDelegate?.dropPinZoomIn(placemark: selectedItem)
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
Please I need your help to solve this issue.

Answer 1

You are using the wrong delegate func updateSearchResultsForSearchController. Use the following code.
extension LocationSearchTable : UISearchResultsUpdating {
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
guard let mapView = mapView,
let searchBarText = searchController.searchBar.text else { return }
let request = MKLocalSearchRequest()
request.naturalLanguageQuery = searchBarText
request.region = mapView.region
let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request)
search.start { response, _ in
guard let response = response else {
return
}
self.matchingItems = response.mapItems
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
Also, if you like to search the city only, you can use locality only. See the example below.Otherwise, keep your code intact.
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")!
let selectedItem = matchingItems[indexPath.row].placemark
cell.textLabel?.text = selectedItem.locality
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = "" //parseAddress(selectedItem: selectedItem)
return cell
}
[EDIT 1]
Another deprecated delegate needs to be changed for getting direction:
extension ViewController : MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView?{
guard !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else { return nil }
let reuseId = "pin"
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView
if pinView == nil {
pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
}
pinView?.pinTintColor = UIColor.orange
pinView?.canShowCallout = true
let smallSquare = CGSize(width: 30, height: 30)
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: smallSquare))
button.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "car"), for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.getDirections), for: .touchUpInside)
pinView?.leftCalloutAccessoryView = button
return pinView
}
}
