Mapview addMarker() - default to selected?

#1

Hi,

I have a MapView and I’ve added a marker with a title. The title only seems to appear after the user taps the marker pin - how do I default the marker to selected so the title appears when the map is viewed?

Thanks,

Nathan.

I don’t believe we can have the marker’s balloons popup until they are tapped.

OK thanks Rob. Upon further investigation I think I’m going to drop the MapView all together - I’m having trouble with it jumping to the front all the time (nothing can overlap it). Looks like that’s the only option based on the doco.

I did it on an app in Titanium Studio, and I was hoping to recreate an update of that app in Corona but this hierarchy issue is a major problem for me too. We should have a map plugin that supports all of these properties and methods http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Modules.Map.View-method-selectAnnotation 

But I’m sure mapviews probably aren’t on the list for Corona engineers…
