Add buttons to view returned by markerInfoWindow delegate method

I'm currently creating and returning a custom view with the google maps ios SDK by setting delegate to self and using the following code.

#pragma mark - GMSMapViewDelegate
-(UIView*)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView markerInfoWindow:(id<GMSMarker>)marker {
    int popupWidth = 200;
    int contentWidth = 180;
    int contentPad = 10;
    int popupHeight = 140;
    int popupBottomPadding = 16;
    int popupContentHeight = popupHeight - popupBottomPadding;
    int buttonHeight = 30;

    UIView *outerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, popupWidth, popupHeight)];

    UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, popupWidth, popupContentHeight)];
    [view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

    UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(contentPad, 0, contentWidth, 22)];
    [titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:17.0]];
    titleLabel.text = [marker title];

    UILabel *descriptionLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(contentPad, 24, contentWidth, 20)];
    [descriptionLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:11.0]];
    descriptionLabel.text = [marker snippet];

    [view addSubview:titleLabel];
    [view addSubview:descriptionLabel];

    UIButton *directionButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    directionButton.frame = CGRectMake(contentPad, 45, contentWidth, buttonHeight);
    [directionButton setTitle:@"Directions" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [directionButton addTarget:self action:@selector(directionsPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];

    UIButton *viewLocationButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    [viewLocationButton addTarget:self action:@selector(viewLocationPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [viewLocationButton setTitle:@"View Location" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    viewLocationButton.frame = CGRectMake(contentPad, 80, contentWidth, buttonHeight);

    // handle bottom dealio
    UIImage *bottomImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"map-pointer-bottom"];
    UIImageView *bottomView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((popupWidth / 2) - (bottomImage.size.width / 2), (popupContentHeight), bottomImage.size.width, bottomImage.size.height)];
    [bottomView setImage:bottomImage];

    [outerView addSubview:view];
    [outerView addSubview:bottomView];
    [outerView addSubview:directionButton];
    [outerView addSubview:viewLocationButton];

    ListItem *li = (ListItem*)[marker userData];
    self.currentItem = li;
    NSLog(@"List Item %@ - %@", li.type, li.typeid);

    return outerView;
}

-(void)directionsPressed {
    NSLog(@"Directions Pressed");
}

-(void)viewLocationPressed {
    NSLog(@"Location View Pressed");
}

- (void)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView didTapInfoWindowOfMarker:(id<GMSMarker>)marker {
    NSLog(@"Tap Captured");
}

The didTapWindowOfMarker is being fired when i tap the custom view, but neither of the target methods for the buttons are being fired.

Any ideas for why this might be?

Possibly, as mentioned officially in documentation of Google Maps Android API, the below restriction regarding infowindows applies to Google Maps iOS SDK also :

Info window is not a live View, rather the view is rendered as an image onto the map. As a result, any listeners you set on the view are disregarded and you cannot distinguish between click events on various parts of the view. You are advised not to place interactive components — such as buttons, checkboxes, or text inputs — within your custom info window.

So basically clicking on any part of the infowindow will trigger only "didTapWindowOfMarker"

Swift 3.0 Solution

 //empty the default infowindow
        func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, markerInfoWindow marker: GMSMarker) -> UIView? {
            return UIView()
        }

        // reset custom infowindow whenever marker is tapped
        func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didTap marker: GMSMarker) -> Bool {

            customInfoView.removeFromSuperview()
        //    customInfoView.button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
            self.view.addSubview(customInfoView)

            // Remember to return false
            // so marker event is still handled by delegate
            return false
        }

        // let the custom infowindow follows the camera
        func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didChange position: GMSCameraPosition) {
            if (locationMarker != nil){
                let location = locationMarker.position
                customInfoView.center = mapView.projection.point(for: location)
            }
        }

        // take care of the close event
        func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didTapAt coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
            customInfoView.removeFromSuperview()
        }

I have added customInfoWindow like this

and make outlet of this view(customInfoWindow) in same controller which has mapView.

I got the idea from this link thanks to this developer Custom and interactive googlemaps(IOS SDK) infowindow
