how to compose mail when button at index clicked in UIActionSheet? - ios

Question

I am a bit confused on how to display mail composer when I click the email option in UIActionSheet.
Here's my sample code:
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if(buttonIndex == 0)
{
NSString *emailTitle = #"Test Email";
NSString *messageBody = #"iOS programming is so fun!";
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"support#email.com"];
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
}

Make sure you add to your .h file and import the MessageUI.framework
Here is exactly what your looking for. I use this often. By the way UIActionSheets are deprecated in iOS 8. Here you go though:
.h
ViewController : UIViewController <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
.m
- (IBAction)showActionSheet:(id)sender {
UIActionSheet *moreActions = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"Add To Favorites", #"Search",#"Email", nil];
[moreActions showInView:self.view];
}
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
switch (buttonIndex) {
case 0: [self addToFav:self];
break;
case 1: ; [self popSearchBar:self];
break;
case 2: { [self sendEmail];
break;
}
break;
}
}
- (void)sendEmail {
NSString *emailTitle = #"This is email title";
// Email Content as for HTML
NSString *messageBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"I may have found a missing document in your catalog. I tried opening :<p><strong><font color=\"red\"> %# </font><br>'%#'</strong></p> with no results. Can I have a dollar for reporting this?", self.title, self.titleString];
// To address
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"youremail#google.com"];
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:YES];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
// Present mail view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult: (MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Mail cancelled");
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Mail saved");
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Mail sent");
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Mail sent failure: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
break;
default:
break;
}
// Close the Mail Interface
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Also note that some people are having issues with simulator emails. try it on a device before you give up.

Here's the code:
First add and import the message framework:
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
then mark your self as a delegate like this
#interface MYViewController () <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
then to pull up the composer:
- (IBAction)emailButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *composeViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[composeViewController setMailComposeDelegate:self];
[composeViewController setToRecipients:#[#"example#email.com"]];
[composeViewController setSubject:#"example subject"];
[self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Then to handle the delegate callback and dismiss the composer:
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
//Add an alert in case of failure
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
in actionsheet using actionSheet: clickedButtonAtIndex:
- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
//Get the name of the current pressed button
NSString *buttonTitle = [actionSheet buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex];
if ([buttonTitle isEqualToString:#"Your button title"]) {
[self btnContact];
}
}
call this method
- (void)btnContact{
// Email Subject
NSString *emailTitle = #"";
// Email Content
NSString *messageBody = #"";
// To address
NSString *toRecp = #"";
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:toRecp];
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
// Present mail view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];
}

This is appcoda's code . Instead of index use the button's name to fire your mail option .
