Problems with Location Manager - objective-c

I've been stuck on this problem for ages and I'm sure the reason is that I don't know enough about objective-c. I've only just started using coding with it!
Anyway I'm trying to design an app that tracks the current distance travelled and also displays the route that have been taken using MKPolyLine. I've got MKPolyLine sorted now but the problem I;m having is with getting the current distance. I think the code is OK but I think i'm doing something funny with location manager.
I've done a bit of debugging and found that my second locationManager method does not get called.
Here is the code below, if someone can take a quick look and just point me in the right direct it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

showsUserLocation won't work for some reason

For some reason my Map wont present the Users location when button "GetLocation" is pressed. I also made sure "GetLocation" is delegated to the button on the viewcontroller. I have compared my code with others in this forum and been stuck on this matter for quite a while..

polyline and overlay on mkmapview problems

i got this problem, with the polyline and overlay on my mapview. maybe someone else also have problems with that? i can't get the polyline to work but everything else is working. tracking user etc, but just that thing with adding polyline to the map dosent work.

objective c delegates

My program displays images with a timer. I want the user to be able to adjust the timer by using a UISlider.
I have a Deck class, which delegates and listens to another delegate 'SpeedSliderDelegate'. I want my Deck class to listen for changes from the SpeedSliderDelegate and update a value.

}
The deck is not its own delegate. Right now your code says that a Deck is a SpeedSliderDelegate, and that a Deck's delegate is a DeckLooperDelegate.
If you always need a delegate for Deck, you can do it this way:
- (id) initWithDelegate:(id<DeckLooperDelegate>)delegate {
if (self = [super init]) {
self.delegate = delegate;
cards = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSInteger aCount, picNum = 0;
// etc etc etc
}
}
Then, in the DeckLooperDelegate that creates the deck, you call it like this:
Deck *deck = [[Deck alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
Then you want your speed slider to set the deck as its delegate.
mySpeedSlider.delegate = deck;
Now mySpeedSlider can call [delegate setSpeed:] to change the deck's speed.

cannot follow that tutorial

i tried to follow this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-FK1TrpUng&feature=related
around 00:39:00.
Theres a counter which recognizes every switch to the second view controller and counts it.
The number of view switches should be shown on the second view controller.
But it doesn't work, thats the code:
Test2ViewController.h
#interface Test2ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
UINavigationController *navController;
Test21ViewController *test21View;
NSString *text;
IBOutlet UITextField *textField1;
}
#property(nonatomic, retain) UITextField *textField1;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navController;
#property (copy) NSString *text;
-(IBAction)pushViewController:(id)sender;
#end
Test2ViewController.m:
#import "Test2ViewController.h"
#import "Test21ViewController.h"
#implementation Test2ViewController
#synthesize textField1, navController, text;
-(IBAction)pushViewController:(id)sender {
static int count = 1;
Test21ViewController *test21ViewController = [[Test21ViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:test21ViewController animated:YES];
test21ViewController.label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pushed %d", count];
count++;
}
Test21ViewController.h:
#interface Test21ViewController : UIViewController {
UINavigationController *navController;
NSString *label;
IBOutlet UILabel *textLabel;
UITextField *tF1;
}
#property (copy) NSString *label;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navController;
#property(nonatomic,retain)UITextField *tF1;
-(IBAction)feldeingabe:(id)Sender;
#end
Test21ViewController.m:
#implementation Test21ViewController
#synthesize label;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
textLabel.text = label;
}
Any ideas why it doesn't work?
Thanks in advance
Code for the second question:
static int count = 1;
Test2ViewController *test2ViewController;
test2ViewController.label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pushed %d !!!!!", count];
[[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:NO];
count++;
CURRENT CODE:
#import "Test21ViewController.h"
#implementation Test21ViewController
#synthesize navController, text, parentView;
-(IBAction)pushViewController2:(id)sender {
Test2ViewController *test2ViewController;
static int count = 1;
test2ViewController.parentView = self;
test2ViewController.label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pushed %d !!!!!", count];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:test2ViewController animated:YES]; count++;
}
For the second problem (passing a string from child to parent);
Test2ViewController.h
#interface Test2ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
NSString *receiverPropertyFromChild;
}
#property(nonatomic, retain) NSString *receiverPropertyFromChild;
Test2ViewController.m:
-(IBAction)pushViewController:(id)sender {
static int count = 1;
Test21ViewController *test21ViewController = [[Test21ViewController alloc] init];
test21ViewController.label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pushed %d", count];
test21ViewController.parentView = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:test21ViewController animated:YES];
count++;
}
Test21ViewController.h:
#class Test2ViewController;
#interface Test21ViewController : UIViewController {
Test2ViewController *parentView;
}
#property (nonatomic, assign) Test2ViewController *parentView;
Test21ViewController.m
-(IBAction)goToTest2ViewController:(id)sender {
parentView.receiverPropertyFromChild = #"the text you want to pass";
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
count++;
}
can you try:
Test21ViewController *test21ViewController = [[Test21ViewController alloc] init];
test21ViewController.label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pushed %d", count];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:test21ViewController animated:YES];
I swapped the last two lines. It could be that you are setting the label after viewDidLoad has already been called, thus not setting the value in the label.
That said, it is better to pass the string as an init parameter, not as a property and then set in viewDidLoad.
edit:
To set it as init parameter, you need to create a new init method to accept that parameter.
- (id) initWithString:(NSString *)labelParam {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
this.label = labelParam;
}
return self;
}

Custom curent location Annotation pin not updating with core location

Trying to add a custom pin for current location, However the location does not update. Even after setting setShowsUserLocation = YES;
- (id)initWithAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
self = [super initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if ([[annotation title] isEqualToString:#"Current Location"]) {
self.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"cursor_%i.png", [[Session instance].current_option cursorValue]+1]];
}
However, if I set to return nil; everything works fine, but I lose the custom image. I really want to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As you've seen the setShowsUserLocation flag only shows the current location using the default blue bubble.
What you need to do here listen for location updates from the phone and manually reposition your annotation yourself. You can do this by creating a CLLocationManager instance and remove and replace your annotation whenever the Location Manager notifies its delegate of an update:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
// update annotation position here
}
To reposition the coordinates, I have a class, Placemark, that conforms to the protocol MKAnnotation:
//--- .h ---
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#interface Placemark : NSObject <MKAnnotation> {
}
#property (nonatomic, readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *strSubtitle;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *strTitle;
-(id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) coordinate;
- (NSString *)subtitle;
- (NSString *)title;
#end
//--- .m ---
#implementation Placemark
#synthesize coordinate;
#synthesize strSubtitle;
#synthesize strTitle;
- (NSString *)subtitle{
return self.strSubtitle;
}
- (NSString *)title{
return self.strTitle;
}
-(id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) c {
self.coordinate = c;
[super init];
return self;
}
#end
Then in my mapview controller I place the annotation with:
- (void) setPlacemarkWithTitle:(NSString *) title andSubtitle:(NSString *) subtitle forLocation: (CLLocationCoordinate2D) location {
//remove pins already there...
NSArray *pins = [mapView annotations];
for (int i = 0; i<[pins count]; i++) {
[mapView removeAnnotation:[pins objectAtIndex:i]];
}
Placemark *placemark=[[Placemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:location];
placemark.strTitle = title;
placemark.strSubtitle = subtitle;
[mapView addAnnotation:placemark];
[self setSpan]; //a custom method that ensures the map is centered on the annotation
}
