I am very new to both iOS developing and using the google maps sdk. I am using Xcode for my current project. I have added my API keys in the appropriate place.
So far I have this:
import UIKit
import GoogleMaps
import GooglePlaces
class MyViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
override func loadView() {
// Create a GMSCameraPosition that tells the map to display the
// coordinate -33.86,151.20 at zoom level 6.
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.cameraWithLatitude(36.2108, longitude: -81.6774, zoom: 17.0)
let mapView = GMSMapView.mapWithFrame(CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
mapView.myLocationEnabled = true
self.view = mapView
}
}
When I build and run the app using my phone, the app installs, runs, and displays the google map of the latitude and longitude I asked it to. My question is how do i display something over the map? I want to add a button that says "Start" centered near the top of the screen. But when i go to Main.storyboard and add a button it does not appear (presumably because my map is over it?)
Thanks!
in storyboard views hierarchy make sure the button goes after (below) the map view, also you can code like
