I have a few questions regarding MFMessageComposeViewController:
Is there a way to know to whom the user actually sent the SMS to?
Or, at least be able to know to how many numbers the SMS was sent to?
What was the message that was actually sent?
Here is what I have so far, and it works OK. But It seems there is only one delegate, but it's so simple that it's pretty much useless.
- (void)showSMS:(NSArray *)numbers message:(NSString *)message {
MFMessageComposeViewController *messageController = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
messageController.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[messageController setRecipients:numbers];
[messageController setBody:message];
[self presentViewController:messageController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult) result {
if (result == MessageComposeResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"SMS cancelled");
}
else if (result == MessageComposeResultFailed) {
NSLog(#"SMS failed");
}
else if (result == MessageComposeResultSent) {
NSLog(#"SMS sent");
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Thanks.
This isn't possible. The iOS SDK doesn't expose a way to access this.
From Apple's documentation of MFMessageComposeViewController:
Important: The message composition interface itself is not
customizable and must not be modified by your app. In addition, after
presenting the interface, your app is unable to make further changes
to the message content. The user can edit the content using the
interface, but programmatic changes are ignored. Thus, you must set
the values of content fields, if desired, before presenting the
interface.

I've just implemented a commenting feature in my app. Ideally when someone leaves a comment, I'd like all notified people be able to swipe the push notification and open the app on that post.
I assume you want to open the concerned page directly. There are many ways to go about this, and it depends on how your app is laid out.
If you want to open an inner page upon app launch, you can programmatically trigger the segues that the user would otherwise need to make manually. (this ensures the back/home buttons work as opposed to loading the desired page directly).
Here's an excerpt from one of my own code, your use case may not be the same, but this is all i can do unless you give us more details.
- (BOOL) navigateToRespectiveSectionforPushNot:(NSDictionary*)pushNot
{
id rootVC = self.window.rootViewController;
NSLog(#"ROOT CLASS : %#", [rootVC class]);
if ([rootVC isKindOfClass:[SWRevealViewController class]])
{
NSLog(#"Root Class looking good... mission Navigate!!");
SWRevealViewController *homeVC = (SWRevealViewController*) rootVC;
NSString *category = [[pushNot objectForKey:pushPayloadKeyaps] objectForKey:pushPayloadKeyCategory];
NSString *subCat = [[pushNot objectForKey:pushPayloadKeyaps] objectForKey:pushPayloadKeySubCategory];
NSLog(#"category : %# , subcat : %#",category,subCat);
//The code for the page to which i'm supposed to navigate to is contained in the push notification payload
if ([category isEqualToString:pushCategoryItemChat])
{
[homeVC.rearViewController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"chatPush" sender:nil];
UINavigationController *nc = (UINavigationController*)homeVC.frontViewController;
NSLog(#"FrontView Class : %#",[nc.viewControllers[0] class]);
UITableViewController *tvc = (UITableViewController*)nc.viewControllers[0];
NSDictionary *send = #{chatPushTargetUserId:subCat,chatPushTargetUserName:#"",chatPushTargetUserImage:#""};
[tvc performSegueWithIdentifier:#"seguePushDemoVC" sender:send];
return YES;
}
//communityPush historyPush
else if ([category isEqualToString:pushCategoryItemCommunity])
{
if ([subCat isEqualToString:pushSubCatItemNewRequest])
{
[homeVC.rearViewController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"communityPush" sender:nil];
return YES;
}
else if ([subCat isEqualToString:pushSubCatItemAccepted])
{
[homeVC.rearViewController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"communityPush" sender:nil];
return YES;
}
}
else if ([category isEqualToString:pushCategoryItemHistory])
{
[homeVC.rearViewController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"historyPush" sender:nil];
return YES;
}
}
else
{
UIAlertView *whoa = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"WHOA!!" message:#" That wasn't supposed to happen. You are not even logged in. Call 911..." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"mmKay.." otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[whoa show];
}
return NO;
}
I hope the code is self explanatory. cheers
I'm preparing to launch my first app and want to have multiple leaderboards inside my game. Currently in sandbox mode I can track and log scores into Game Center successfully. Game Center saves my scores (only if it is higher) and seems to be fully functional.
I know through Itunes Connect we have the ability to set up multiple leaderboards and it seems pretty straight forward. I still want to be able to test multiple leaderboards before publishing my game though. Is there a way to do this in sandbox mode? Currently it seems like my scores are only automatically logged into a default leaderboard. Below is the relevant code I'm using to save/access scores. Thanks!
ABGameKitHelper.m
#pragma mark - Leaderboard
-(void) reportScore:(long long)aScore forLeaderboard:(NSString*)leaderboardId
{
GKScore *score = [[GKScore alloc] initWithCategory:leaderboardId];
score.value = aScore;
[score reportScoreWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError *error) {
if (!error)
{
if(![self hasConnectivity])
{
[self cacheScore:score];
}
if (ABGAMEKITHELPER_LOGGING) NSLog(#"ABGameKitHelper: Reported score (%lli) to %# successfully.", score.value, leaderboardId);
}
else
{
[self cacheScore:score];
if (ABGAMEKITHELPER_LOGGING) NSLog(#"ABGameKitHelper: ERROR -> Reporting score (%lli) to %# failed, caching...", score.value, leaderboardId);
}
}];
}
-(void) showLeaderboard:(NSString*)leaderboardId
{
GKLeaderboardViewController *viewController = [GKLeaderboardViewController new];
viewController.leaderboardDelegate = self;
if (leaderboardId)
{
viewController.category = leaderboardId;
CCLOG(#"Going to category already created");
}
[[self topViewController] presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
MainScene.m
- (void)gameCenter {
[[ABGameKitHelper sharedHelper] reportScore:1400 forLeaderboard:#"Score"];
[[ABGameKitHelper sharedHelper] showLeaderboard:#"Score"];
}
I'm not sure if I understand your question properly, but I'll try to answer! Game Center does support multiple leaderboards:
-If you want to send a score to specific leaderboard, you just have to call the function [[ABGameKitHelper sharedHelper] reportScore:X forLeaderboard:LEADERBOARD_ID];, where X represents the score you'd like to send, and LEADERBOARD_ID is the ID of the leaderboard you want to send the score to, as specified in iTunes Connect.
-When you have multiple leaderboards, if you don't want to show just one leaderboard, but a list of them all, you should use the GKGameCenterViewController class instead. However, be careful; this ViewController has been added in iOS 6 only, so you must check which version the device is running. I am also using the ABGameKitHelper, so I've made a function to show this kind of view. Here it goes :
ABGameKitHelper.m
- (void) showGameCenter{
if (![[ABGameKitHelper sharedHelper] hasConnectivity]) return;
//Check if device runs on iOS 5
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice]systemVersion]intValue]==5)
{
//If so, we must use the GKLeaderboardViewController
GKLeaderboardViewController *leaderboard = [[GKLeaderboardViewController alloc] init];
if (leaderboard != nil)
{
leaderboard.leaderboardDelegate = self;
[[self topViewController] presentViewController:leaderboard animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}else if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice]systemVersion]intValue]>=6)
{
//if it runs on iOS 6 or higher, we use GKGameCenterViewController
GKGameCenterViewController *gameCenterController = [[GKGameCenterViewController alloc] init];
if (gameCenterController != nil)
{
gameCenterController.gameCenterDelegate = self;
gameCenterController.viewState = GKGameCenterViewControllerStateDefault;
[[self topViewController] presentViewController:gameCenterController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
}
And don't forget to add :
- (void) gameCenterViewControllerDidFinish:(GKGameCenterViewController *)gameCenterViewController{
[gameCenterViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Using this function will allow you to show a nice view containing all your leaderboards and achievements.
Hope this helps!
I have created an application that uses the SMS and after the user clicks the sms button it opens up with my number already in and no message (thats their job). But when it loads up the sms message page it set the curser thing is up where the recipients are not where the message is. To explain that better, after the sms loads if they were to just start typing they would be adding another person to send the message to, not typing the message. For example if I would like to load up to a specific row on my UIPicker on startup I would:
[picker selectRow:3 inComponent:0 animated:NO];
sms load up:
- (IBAction)sms {
MFMessageComposeViewController *textComposer = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
[textComposer setMessageComposeDelegate:self];
if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]) {
[textComposer setRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"support#nicmacengineering.com", nil]];
[textComposer setBody:#""];
[self presentViewController:textComposer animated:YES completion:NULL];
} else {
NSLog(#"Can't Open Text");
}
}
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
switch (result) {
case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
break;
case MessageComposeResultFailed:
break;
case MessageComposeResultSent:
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
First, your question is fairly hard to understand. Here's my impression of it:
Can I set the cursor to the message field by default in an SMS controller?
And the answer is:
No.
Since it is an Apple framework, with no public method to switch fields (here's the class reference).
Because of this, you won't be able to automatically set the position of the cursor.
My App got rejected and reason is below:-
Did not integrate with iOS features. For example, the email button should enable users to compose emails in the app rather than launching the Mail app.
I did not get that what they want. I have used MFMailComposer class so what's wrong with it?Any Suggestion.
Did you do it like this:
- (IBAction)pushMail:(id)sender { //A button that initiates composition
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"My Mail Subject"];
if (controller) [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result
error:(NSError*)error;
{
if (result == MFMailComposeResultSent) {
NSLog(#"It's away!");
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I think you have to use an MSMailComposeViewController (as I have in the above example) to do what you want.
... the email button should enable users to compose emails in the app ...
They mean that your program should allow people to compose emails, instead of opening Mail.app.
I have a webview object (aWebView) which was added on top of current window like this -
UIWindow *webWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320,460)];
[webWindow addSubview:aWebView];
[webWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
I have a ViewController (viewcontrollerobj) which is subView of aWebView -
[webView addSubview:viewcontrollerobj.view];
Then I am calling sendInAppMail method in the ViewController-
[sviewcontroller sendInAppMail];
SendInAppMail looks like this -
MFMailComposeViewController *mailController = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
if([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
[mailController setMessageBody:#"hello" isHTML:NO];
[mailController setSubject:#"subject"];
mailController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:mailController animated:YES];
[mailController release];
}
didFinishWithResult looks like this -
- (void)mailComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
switch (result) {
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Mail viewcontroller shows up fine. The problem is that when I hit cancel it shows the delete/save draf t option and after clicking either delete/save the mail viewcontroller doesn't go away!
When I look at console it shows this log message -
"Presenting action sheet clipped by its superview. Some controls might not respond to touches. On iPhone try -[UIActionSheet showFromTabBar:] or -[UIActionSheet showFromToolbar:] instead of -[UIActionSheet showInView:]."
I am not using UIActionSheet anywhere and haven't used in the past so I am not able to understand what it is saying.
I looked at this - https://stackoverflow.com/a/6015957/516938
But it seems like the solution given is very specific to a situation.
Not sure this is the issue, but this is the first thing I would look at.
Based on the error message that you got it sounds like either one of the views (the aWebView or the one from viewcontrollerobj that you defined) doesn't allow enough space for the MFMailComposeViewController, meaning that the dimensions of it are smaller than the MFMailComposeViewController requires. It isn't actually clipping the content, so you see it, but it is blocking the touches so that they don't get to the MFMailComposeViewController.
I hope that is clear enough - I had a hard time describing my thoughts here correctly.
