Why I can’t add two fields to the map pin on iOS – xamarin

Issue

I have e CustomMapRenderer on iOS project and I want to add two more fields in the marker click.

In the CustomMKAnnotationView.cs I create a two more objects – CodeNum and AlertLevel:

    using MapKit;

namespace MaritsaTundzhaForecast.iOS
{
    public class CustomMKAnnotationView : MKAnnotationView
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }

        public string Url { get; set; }

        public int AlertLevel { get; set; }

        public int CodeNum { get; set; }

        public CustomMKAnnotationView(IMKAnnotation annotation, string id)
            : base(annotation, id)
        {
        }
    }
}

In CustomMapRenderer.cs I use this line of code to show it but when I click on the pin they do not appear:

((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).AlertLevel  customPin.AlertLevel;
((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).CodeNum  customPin.CodeNum;

This is the full code of GetViewForAnnotation:

 protected override MKAnnotationView GetViewForAnnotation(MKMapView mapView, IMKAnnotation annotation)
    {
        MKAnnotationView annotationView  null;

        if (annotation is MKUserLocation)
            return null;

        var customPin  GetCustomPin(annotation as MKPointAnnotation);
        if (customPin  null)
        {
            throw new Exception("Custom pin not found");
        }

        annotationView  mapView.DequeueReusableAnnotation(customPin.Name);
        if (annotationView  null)
        {
            annotationView  new CustomMKAnnotationView(annotation, customPin.Name);
            annotationView.Image  UIImage.FromFile("pin.png");
            annotationView.CalloutOffset  new CGPoint(0, 0);
            annotationView.LeftCalloutAccessoryView  new UIImageView(UIImage.FromFile("green.png"));

            ((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).Name  customPin.Name;
            ((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).Url  customPin.Url;
            ((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).AlertLevel  customPin.AlertLevel;
            ((CustomMKAnnotationView)annotationView).CodeNum  customPin.CodeNum;
        }
        annotationView.CanShowCallout  true;

        return annotationView;
    }

I have OnDidSelectAnnotation methods, but I don’t know what to write inside to display CodeNum and AlertLevel:

void OnDidSelectAnnotationView(object sender, MKAnnotationViewEventArgs e)
    {
        CustomMKAnnotationView customView  e.View as CustomMKAnnotationView;
        customPinView  new UIView();

        if (customView.Name.Equals("Xamarin"))
        {
            customPinView.Frame  new CGRect(0, 0, 200, 84);
            /*
            var image  new UIImageView(new CGRect(0, 0, 200, 84));
            image.Image  UIImage.FromFile("green.png");
            customPinView.AddSubview(image);
            */
            customPinView.Center  new CGPoint(0, -(e.View.Frame.Height + 75));
            e.View.AddSubview(customPinView);
        }
    }

    void OnDidDeselectAnnotationView(object sender, MKAnnotationViewEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!e.View.Selected)
        {
            customPinView.RemoveFromSuperview();
            customPinView.Dispose();
            customPinView  null;
        }
    }

I use this code to create a new label but I want to put this values from customView.AlertLevel.ToString(); inside in the info window.

void OnDidSelectAnnotationView(object sender, MKAnnotationViewEventArgs e)
    {
        CustomMKAnnotationView customView  e.View as CustomMKAnnotationView;
        customPinView  new UIView();

        if (customView.Name.Equals("Xamarin"))
        {
            customPinView.Frame  new CGRect(0, 0, 200, 84);
            /*
            var image  new UIImageView(new CGRect(0, 0, 200, 84));
            image.Image  UIImage.FromFile("green.png");
            customPinView.AddSubview(image);
            */

            customPinView.Center  new CGPoint(0, -(e.View.Frame.Height + 75));
            e.View.AddSubview(customPinView);


            var label  new UILabel(new CGRect(0, 0, 200, 84));
            label.Text  customView.AlertLevel.ToString();
            customPinView.AddSubview(label);
        }
    }

This is screenshot how look now:

Solution

you need to modify the UI to display the additional data

// you will need to experiment with the Bounds to fit your UI
var label  new UILabel(new CGRect(0, 0, 100, 50));
label.Text  customView.AlertLevel;
customPinView.AddSubview(label);
