When I do println(localSearchResponse)
, I get a MapItem object, which includes a ton of details about the location. In this example, its UCSD. Here is the output showing in my log.
<MKLocalSearchResponse: 0x1c53d640> {
boundingRegion = "<center:+32.87514836, -117.23958822 span:+0.00725621, +0.00825332>";
mapItems = (
"<MKMapItem: 0x1c538090> {\n isCurrentLocation = 0;\n name = \"University of California, San Diego\";\n phoneNumber = \"+18585342230\";\n placemark = \"University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr, La Jolla, CA 92093-5004, United States @ <+32.87529400,-117.23961000> +/- 0.00m, region CLCircularRegion (identifier:'<+32.87514837,-117.23958825> radius 557.57', center:<+32.87514837,-117.23958825>, radius:557.57m)\";\n url = \"http://www.ucsd.edu\";\n}"
);
}
Notice how it outputs placemark = University of California...
and has the address? How do I get this value and store it into a variable? Here is my code:
localSearchRequest = MKLocalSearchRequest()
localSearchRequest.naturalLanguageQuery = addressTextField.text
localSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: localSearchRequest)
localSearch.startWithCompletionHandler { (localSearchResponse, error) -> Void in
if localSearchResponse == nil{
var alert = UIAlertView(title: nil, message: "Place not found", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "Try again")
alert.show()
return
}
//prints the MKLocalSearchResponse with name, phoneNumber, placemark
println(localSearchResponse)
//Get latitude and longitude
var newRecordLat = localSearchResponse.boundingRegion.center.latitude
var newRecordLong = localSearchResponse.boundingRegion.center.longitude
//How do I get the address, which is "placemark" in the MKLocalSearchResponse?
var newRecordAddress = localSearchResponse.mapItems...???
//store values to Parse
self.latToParse = newRecordLat
self.longToParse = newRecordLong
}
