How do you move the legal sign in mapview

Question

I wonder if anyone know how you move the legal sign on a mapview, right now my toolbar is covering it. Does anyone know how? There is lot's of help with the google logo but nothing on the apple maps.

Answer 1

In Swift:

mapView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, right, -20, left)

I tested this in OS9 and it works.

Swift 5.2

// -20 will make the legal disclaimer move down. If you want the
// disclaimer to move up, use a positive number.
mapView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: -20, right: 0)

Answer 2

This should work, although I'm not sure whether Apple will allow you to do that

UILabel *attributionLabel = [mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
attributionLabel.center = CGPointMake(attributionLabel.center.x, attributionLabel.center.y - 44.0f);

Answer 3

This is still possible in iOS 7, but only (?) if placed in viewDidAppear. The coords are reset if placed in viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear.

    UILabel *attributionLabel = [mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
    attributionLabel.center = CGPointMake(attributionLabel.center.x, attributionLabel.center.y - 44.0f);

Answer 4

These methods no longer work on iOS 7. Correct way is to specify bottomLayoutGuide on your UIViewController. Described in detail here

Answer 5

Changing the position doesn't quite work, however hiding the "Legal" button works perfectly.

[[mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1] setHidden:YES]

EDIT:

Swift 2.0 iOS equivalent

mapView.subviews[1].isHidden = true

Answer 6

Carrying on Skeet Skeet point .

I implemented your approach it worked well but after coming in the viewcontroller multiple times legal label y keeps on decreasing as you see the logic it always displaces itself. so instead changing centre i propose

we change frame

UILabel *attributionLabel = [mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
    attributionLabel.frame = CGRectMake(20, self.view.frame.size.height - 135, attributionLabel.frame.size.width, attributionLabel.frame.size.height); 
\\135 is height of your bottom view that was hiding legal

Answer 7

I wrote extension that worked for me. It can be used in animation block to animate those changes:

import MapKit

extension MKMapView {

  /// Workaround for layoutMargins bug.
  func setLegalInsets(left: CGFloat, bottom: CGFloat) {
    let oldLeft = layoutMargins.left
    let oldBottom = layoutMargins.bottom

    let lblLegal = (subviews.filter { view in
      return view is UILabel
      }).first

    lblLegal?.frame.origin.x += left - oldLeft
    lblLegal?.frame.origin.y -= bottom - oldBottom

    layoutMargins.left = left
    layoutMargins.bottom = bottom
  }
}

Answer 8

@Dymtro's answer works well for me, but I would suggest checking the size of the subviews first. This should at least prevent possible crashes if the view hierarchy changes in the future:

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    positionLegalMapLabel()
}

func positionLegalMapLabel() {
    if self.mapView.subviews.count > 1 {
        let legalMapLabel = self.mapView.subviews[1]

        legalMapLabel.frame.origin = CGPointMake(self.mapView.bounds.size.width - legalMapLabel.frame.size.width - 7, legalMapLabel.frame.origin.y)
    }
}

Answer 9

Swift 4+

You can change the position of those by setting the layoutMargins of the mapView.

For example this will push it off from the bottom:

mapView.layoutMargins.bottom = -100

Also you can change edge insets you need all at once:

mapView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: -100, right: 0)

Answer 10

A Swift 3 example based on @xeieshan's example that works when compiled against iOS 10 SDK. In my example I have a transparent bar in the bottom that animates up when the map view is being present. The label repositioning can also be animated.

// reposition the 'Legal' label above the transparent bottom bar
// unfortunately there is no safe way to identify the label but it is the last subview - hopefully this will not change 
if let legalLabel = mapView.subviews.last {
    var frame = legalLabel.frame
    frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y - self.bottomBar.bounds.size.height // reposition it above the bottom bar
    legalLabel.frame = frame
}

Answer 11

Use viewWillLayoutSubviews() instead of viewDidAppear() to avoid a jump.

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    positionLegalMapLabel()
}

func positionLegalMapLabel() {
    let legalMapLabel = self.mapView.subviews[1]

    legalMapLabel.frame.origin = CGPointMake(self.mapView.bounds.size.width - legalMapLabel.frame.size.width - 7, legalMapLabel.frame.origin.y)
}
