Description

Tapping on a map to create points of interest seems like a fairly common use-case. The current module explicitly states that the MapView click event is fired for annotations, shapes etc. and not the view itself. I have added a new mapclick event to the ios implementation in our branch of the module. Wondering if someone can chime in with an android implementation?

Hans Knöchel 2017-01-25 Interesting feature request, I'd agree to have this included. Can you do a PR on the ti.map module and link the PR here - together with a quick demo-code (single app.js) to demonstrate the behavior? Then we can help doing the docs and further adjustments. Thx! :-) Moving to MOD
Sharif AbuDarda 2017-02-20 Hello [~nickkemp], Can you go ahead and create the PR and a demo code? Thanks.

   var MapModule = require('ti.map');
   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       title: "Ti.Map",
       includeOpaqueBars: true,
       extendEdges: [Ti.UI.EXTEND_EDGE_ALL]
   });
   
   var nav = Ti.UI.iOS.createNavigationWindow({
       window: win
   });
   
   var mapView = MapModule.createView({
       userLocation: false,
       mapType: MapModule.NORMAL_TYPE,
       rotatesEnabled: true,
       animate: true,
       region: { 
           latitude: -37.7870, 
           longitude: 175.2793,
           latitudeDelta: 0.1,
           longitudeDelta: 0.1
       },
       // height: '50%',
       width: Ti.UI.FILL,  
   });
   win.add(mapView);
   
   function handlMapClick(e) {
       Ti.API.warn("\"mapclick\" event fired!");
       Ti.API.warn(e);
   }
   
   mapView.addEventListener("mapclick", handlMapClick);
   
   win.add(mapView);
   nav.open();

Hans Knöchel 2017-05-24 [~nickkemp] I merged iOS, but forgot about Android. Can you provide the parity-PR for it?
Nick Kemp 2017-05-24 sorry don't have the tooling atm - on a totally different project - I've put a request out on TiSlack. Would be good to keep the momentum. Thanks Hans.
