I have added Google maps sdk for ios to my Iphone app, and i have some custom markers if clicked info window pops up with title, how can i add a button to this info window so if pressed will go to new page? Now i have tryed to use this post to solve this issue Adding Click Event on InfoWindow/Marker in Google Maps SDK for native iOS/objective C it doesnt give me error but it won't work.
this is what i want my result to be:http://www.flickr.com/photos/74719051@N05/6728157477/
The answer for the question you linked shows code for using MapKit, so it wouldn't work with the Google Maps SDK for iOS.
See this question for how to return a custom view with the Google Maps SDK for iOS:
Custom annotation view in Google Maps SDK
However note that according to this question, it looks like what is displayed might be a visual copy of the view not the actual view, which might limit the interaction you can do with the view:
Add buttons to view returned by markerInfoWindow delegate method
Simply detecting a tap on the info window and going to a different page should be possible using didTapWindowOfMarker
though.
Note that there's a feature request in Google's issue tracker to add direct support for this:
https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4961
This code does exactly what you want. It's inspired by #9 in the link recommended by Saxon Druce but done differently and more complete. It detects tap on buttons added to my custom infoWindow. I create a custom infoWindow with 2 fake buttons (they could actually be replaced by images because they won't trigger any action anyway) and I add a transparent UIView with 2 real but transparent buttons over the infoWindow. These buttons will trigger the actions.
Finally, I use a few delegate methods or KVC in order to move the overlaid UIView when the infoWindow itself moves.
- (UIView *)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView markerInfoWindow:(GMSMarker *)marker {
[self.actionOverlayCalloutView removeFromSuperview];
UIView *calloutView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, infoWindowWidth, infoWindowHeight)];
float offset = anchorSize * M_SQRT2;
CGAffineTransform rotateBy45Degrees = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_4);
UIView *arrow = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((infoWindowWidth - anchorSize)/2.0, infoWindowHeight - offset, anchorSize, anchorSize)];
arrow.transform = rotateBy45Degrees;
arrow.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
[calloutView addSubview:arrow];
UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, infoWindowWidth, infoWindowHeight - offset/2)];
[contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
contentView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
contentView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
contentView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
contentView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f;
self.actionOverlayCalloutView =
[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:contentView]]; //hack to copy a view...
self.actionOverlayCalloutView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColorWithAlpha:0.5];
self.actionOverlayCalloutView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
NSMutableArray *falseButtons = [NSMutableArray array];
NSMutableArray *actionButtons = [NSMutableArray array];
PointMapItem *pointAnnotation = marker.userData;
if ([pointAnnotation canPerformSend]) {
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"imageButton1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Custom and interactive googlemaps(IOS SDK) infowindow
1)Create one subview which you want to show in infoWindow.
2)Set frame of subview equals to frame of infoWindow view.
subView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"viewName" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
[subView setFrame:infoview.frame];
[self.mapview addSubview:subView];
