CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.
You can install it with the following command:
$ gem install cocoapodsTo integrate LocationPicker into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'YourApp' do
pod 'MMBGoogleLocationPicker'
endImport MMBGoogleLocationPicker
import MMBGoogleLocationPickerNOTE: If you installed via Cocoapods:
import MMBGoogleLocationPickerpresent MMBGoogleLocationPicker, it needs to be nested inside a navigation controller so that it can be dismissed.
LocationPicker.googleMapKey = "Your_Goole_map_key"
let locationPicker = LocationPicker.shared
locationPicker.pickCompletion = { (pickedLocationItem) in
if let coordinate = pickedLocationItem.coordinate {
debugPrint("Picked location is (latitude: \(coordinate.latitude), longitude: \(coordinate.longitude))")
}
}
locationPicker.addBarButtons()
// Call this method to add a done and a cancel button to navigation bar and set navigation bar background.
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: locationPicker)
navigationController.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = .black
navigationController.view.backgroundColor = .black
navigationController.viewControllers.first?.view.backgroundColor = .black
present(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)This method provides 3 optional parameter. doneButtonItem and cancelButtonItem can be set as the customized UIBarButtonItem object. doneButtonOrientation is used to determine how to align these two buttons. If none of the parameters is provided, two system style buttons would be used, and the done button would be put on the right side.
After this method is called, these two buttons can be accessed via barButtonItems property.
This method aims to set colors more conveniently. themColor will be set to currentLocationIconColor, searchResultLocationIconColor, alternativeLocationIconColor, pinColor. primaryTextColor and secondaryTextColor can also be set by this method.
This method provides the text of locationDeniedAlertController simultaneously.
If this method is not called, the alert controller will be presented like this
Grant button will direct user to the Settings where location access can be changed.
