How to implement iOS Google Maps SDK

I just have a question and can't seem to find it anywhere.

I"m new to iOS development and trying to use Google Maps inside my application.

I went thru the example they give you here.

    #import "DemoViewController.h"
#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>

@implementation DemoViewController {
  GMSMapView *mapView_;
}

- (void)loadView {
  GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:1.285
                                                          longitude:103.848
                                                               zoom:12];
  mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];
  self.view = mapView_;
}

@end

But as you can see the they set self.view = mapView_; and the UIView class doesn't have a view function.

I want the map to be inside a UIView I have that is inside another ViewController

Did I lose you yet? Either ways here is a picture. enter image description here

So inside of the view (or whitespace) I want the map to load.

Thanks guys for the help.

Please try below code.
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet GMSMapView *mapView;
-(void)addAllPinsOnMapView
{
arrMapPin=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(int i = 0; i < arrOfferList.count; i++)
{
    GMSCameraPosition *cameraPosition=[GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:[[[arrOfferList objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"latitude"] floatValue] longitude:[[[arrOfferList objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"longitude"] floatValue] zoom:12];
    //    mapView = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:cameraPosition];
    _mapView.camera = cameraPosition;
    _mapView.myLocationEnabled=YES;

    GMSMarker *marker=[[GMSMarker alloc]init];
    marker.position=CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([[[arrOfferList objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"latitude"] floatValue], [[[arrOfferList objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"longitude"] floatValue]);
    marker.title = [[arrOfferList objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"business"];
    marker.map=_mapView;
    _mapView.delegate = self;
}
}
- (void)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView didTapInfoWindowOfMarker:
(GMSMarker *)marker {
NSPredicate *result;
result=[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"business CONTAINS[c] %@",marker.title];
NSArray * array = [arrOfferList filteredArrayUsingPredicate:result];
OfferDetailsViewController *objOfferDetailsViewController = [[OfferDetailsViewController alloc]init];
objOfferDetailsViewController.dictOfferDetails=[array objectAtIndex:0];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:objOfferDetailsViewController animated:YES];
}
- (IBAction)btnLocateMe:(UIButton *)sender
{
GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:[[[AppDelegate initAppDelegate].DictLocation objectForKey:@"Latitude"] floatValue] longitude:[[[AppDelegate initAppDelegate].DictLocation objectForKey:@"Longitude"] floatValue] zoom:14];
[_mapView animateToCameraPosition:camera];
}

I did an exact same thing here.

Simply added a View of type GMSMapView via interface builder and then set up the properties in controller.

I found a solution that works for me if anyone needs to do something similar.

I just used a container view and then made separate UIViewController class (that has the google maps sdk code add a map section) and then hooked it up to my main ViewController by using [self.view addSubview:googleMapsView]; googleMapsView being my container view that I connected to the main ViewController.

So you've got a GMSMapView. And you can make one view a subview of another in the interface with addSubview:. I wouldn't do it in loadView if I were you, though. viewDidLoad is the earliest good opportunity.

I think your real problem is that you're way ahead of yourself. You're trying to do this without know how views work, how view controllers work, etc. I recommend you take a deep breath and learn about iOS programming before you jump in with all four feet. Otherwise you don't know what your code (or Google's code) even means.
