Map view touch event handling

Question

I am using map view in my iOS app. After the user scrolls the map and lifts his finger I need to send web service request to get new data and then I want to plot that lat longs.

Here I want to detect touch end event on map view. Also same time want to handle web service request and response. I tried using tap gesture but not getting proper result.

Please suggest something

Thanks

You need to set the delegate of the map view, then implement this method:

– mapView:regionDidChangeAnimated:

This gets called everytime the user has finished scrolling.

For the HTTP request I suggest using ASI. Its really easy to use....

- (void) grabURLInBackground:(id)sender
{
   NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://allseeing-i.com"];
   ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
   [request setDelegate:self];
   [request startAsynchronous];
}

- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
   // Use when fetching text data
   NSString *responseString = [request responseString];

   // Use when fetching binary data
   NSData *responseData = [request responseData];
}

- (void)requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
   NSError *error = [request error];
}
