MKPinAnnotationView: Are there more than three colors available?

Viewed 28325

According to the Apple docs, MKPinAnnotationView's pin color is available in red, green and purple. Is there any way to get other colors also? I've found nothing in the docs.

And the original ones :

And the code:

- (MKAnnotationView*)mapView:(MKMapView*)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
MKPinAnnotationView* anView =[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"test"];
anView.pinColor=MKPinAnnotationColorPurple;
UIImage* image = nil;
// 2.0 is for retina. Use 3.0 for iPhone6+, 1.0 for "classic" res.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(anView.frame.size, NO, 2.0);
[anView.layer renderInContext: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSData* imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
NSString* targetPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", [self writablePath], @"thisismypin.png" ];
[imgData writeToFile:targetPath atomically:YES]; 
return anView;
}

-(NSString*) writablePath {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return documentsDirectory;
}

You might find the following images useful:

alt text alt text alt text alt text

and the code to use them in viewForAnnotation:

- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{   
    // ... get the annotation delegate and allocate the MKAnnotationView (annView)
    if ([annotationDelegate.type localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:@"NeedsBluePin"] == NSOrderedSame)
    {
        UIImage * image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"blue_pin.png"];
        UIImageView *imageView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image] autorelease];
        [annView addSubview:imageView];
    }
    // ...

If it's not in the docs then most probably not, you cAn use mkannotationview and have ur own image if u wish though
