MKAnnotation: Reading a tag for MKAnnotation

When I add an annotation, I add a ".tag" to it. However I can never read the tag in the following method.

`- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation` 

    MKAnnotationView *annView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"MyPin"];
    annView.canShowCallout = YES开发者_运维百科;

    NSLog(@"annView.tag = %d", annView.tag);

    return annView;
}

The NSLog is always 0. Can anyone shed some light on this?

It is worth mentioning that if I NSLog annotation, I do see the tag.

Likely you are setting the tag property on the annotation and trying to read it back on the annotation view.

Also, it looks like your code snippet is leaking annView; you may want to autorelease that.
