How to detect camera position for google map in swift

Question

I get to know after searching that idleAtCameraPosition and didChangeCameraPosition this methods are called when the map moves . How can i write this method for swift? I have set delegate to CLLocationManagerDelegate and GMSMapViewDelegate but still this methods are not called. I have written method as below:

func mapView(mapView: GMSMapView!, didChangeCameraPosition position: GMSCameraPosition!) {
                print(position)
}

func mapView(mapView:GMSMapView!,idleAtCameraPosition position:GMSCameraPosition!)
{
    print(position)

}

But my method is not getting called. Also I want to customise info window just like done here : Custom Info Window for Google Maps . But can't find the methods how to do same in swift. I am new to swift s o not getting this.

Have you assigned value to your mapView delegate? ex: `self.mapView.delegate = self` ? — ztan, Feb 03 '15 at 17:04

Maybe too late, but you must extend the class with GMSMapViewDelegate. For example:

class NearMeViewController: CLLocationManagerDelegate, GMSMapViewDelegate

Then, how Ztan says, you have to delegate your map with:

self.mapView.delegate = self

With this, the method didChangeCameraPosition will respond every time that that camera's position is changed.

Hope it helps.

You need to import the GMSMapViewDelegate at the top of your class

put self.mapView.delegate = self in your viewDidLoad()

and then you can use this method

func mapView(mapView: GMSMapView, idleAtCameraPosition position: GMSCameraPosition) {

        // You can use the position.target for get the current camera position

}
