How to Pass Title and Description Data from a Map Annotation to Another ViewController in iOS

If you’re developing an iOS application with a map feature, you might want to present additional information when a user selects a location. For instance, when an annotation on a map is tapped, it can take the user to a details screen showing pertinent information regarding that location. In this post, we’ll discuss how to pass title and description data from a selected annotation in MapViewController to DetailsViewController.

The Problem

You want to retrieve data from annotations you've created on your map, specifically their titles and descriptions, and present this information in a separate view controller. The aim is to display this data clearly—however, you may encounter issues with the labels in the DetailsViewController not showing the correct text.

In your initial setup, you may have some code ready but not integrated correctly to ensure the labels are populated with data.

Solution Breakdown

Here's a structured approach to successfully passing the data.

Step 1: Create Variables in DetailsViewController

First, you need to declare variables in your DetailsViewController to hold the title and description:

These variables will store the data you pass from the MapViewController.

Step 2: Prepare for Segue in MapViewController

In your MapViewController, you will manage the passing of data in the segue method. Start by declaring additional variables to hold the selected annotation's title and description. The relevant code would look like this:

Step 3: Capture the Selected Annotation

Next, you’ll need to update your didSelect method to capture the selected annotation. Here, you’ll set the titles appropriately:

Ensure that you check for optional values appropriately so that your code doesn’t crash in case of unexpected nil values.

Step 4: Display Data in DetailsViewController

Finally, you need to ensure that your labels in the DetailsViewController are populated with the data you passed earlier. This is typically done in the viewDidLoad() method:

Make sure your labels are connected correctly in Interface Builder for this code to work.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can ensure that when a user selects an annotation on your map, they will smoothly transition to a DetailsViewController presenting the selected title and description without issues.

This straightforward method not only enhances the user experience but also builds a solid foundation for further enhancements in your app. Happy coding!
