Hi I am new to Xcode and Swift.
I am tying to code an App where user can select a country from a list so that it adds a pin to a map.
Basically, it is just a map with pins.
Where could I get a list of default countries ? like a drop-down or something so that I do not need to hardcode all of the countries myself.
Then, I know the next question is big so I just expect some guidance:
Could someone give me any directions on how using the GPS coordinates of the country selected so that it places a pin to a map ?
Thanks you all for your help.
Try with this.
func counrtyNames() -> NSArray{
var countryCodes = NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes()
var countries:NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()
for countryCode in countryCodes{
let dictionary : NSDictionary = NSDictionary(object:countryCode, forKey:NSLocaleCountryCode)
//get identifire of the counrty
var identifier:NSString? = NSLocale.localeIdentifierFromComponents(dictionary as! [String : String])
let locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
//get country name
let country = locale.displayNameForKey(NSLocaleCountryCode, value : countryCode)//replace "NSLocaleIdentifier" with "NSLocaleCountryCode" to get language name
if country != nil {//check the country name is not nil
countries.addObject(country!)
}
}
NSLog("\(countries)")
return countries
}
