Adding UIButtons on top of the map

Hi,

How can I add an UIButton on top of the map?

I've tried creating the UIButton and adding it as a subview of AGSMapView.

However the mapLayers are drawn on top of the button and it is hidden by them.

Thank you.

Have you tried using Interface Builder. It sounds like the buttons you are creating are a subview of the MapView. This will most likely cause it to be covered by the map.

open your xib in IB. add a button to it and make sure that it is not contained as a subview of mapView. Drag your button out of mapView, and place it below mapView. not inside mapView.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Thank you. Yes it worked.

Even if the button is inside the MapView it doesn't have to be a subview of it.

Thank you.
