MFMailComposeViewController doesn't close - ios

I have an app where I use E-Mail to developer Button. When I press the button VEMailView-controller opens.
This is just wrapper for MFMailComposeViewController.
When I press "send" button, the controller have to be closed but I see just white window. No more. It must be closed to main ViewController. How to fix?
This is my code:
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#import "VEMailView.h"
#interface VEMailView () <
MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate,
UINavigationControllerDelegate
>
// UILabel for displaying the result of the sending the message.
#end
#implementation VEMailView{
BOOL alreadyOpened;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
alreadyOpened = NO;
}
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[self showMailPicker];
}
- (void)showMailPicker
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
[self displayMailComposerSheet];
}
}
- (void)displayMailComposerSheet
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"iOS"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"first#example.com"];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSString *emailBody = #" ";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Result: Mail sending canceled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Result: Mail saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Result: Mail sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Result: Mail sending failed");
break;
default:
NSLog(#"Result: Mail not sent");
break;
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end

That's because you are making an extra view controller. Create the MFMailComposeViewController in the view controller where the button is. The mail compose controller is a controller by itself. There is a white screen because that is the default view of YOUR VEMailView. Get rid of that and put these methods:
- (void)showMailPicker;
- (void)displayMailComposerSheet;
in the view controller with the button. Also make it the delegate.

I found my own solution.
To solve this problem change
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
into
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];}];
Thanks Michal for idea.

How to send mail from a custom UITableViewCell using MFMailComposerViewController [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Objective C: Send email without leaving app
(3 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I want to send mail while clicking a button in a custom UITableViewCell using MFMailComposeViewController.
Appreciate if answer is in Objective-C.
Following code in your .h file
#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
Give Delegate <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
Following code in your .m file
//Where you want to open dialog write below code
if([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *mailCont = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailCont.mailComposeDelegate = self; // Required to invoke mailComposeController when send
[mailCont setSubject:#"Your Subject!"];
[mailCont setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"hello#test.com"]];
[mailCont setMessageBody:#"Your Body" isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:mailCont animated:YES completion:nil];
}
//Delegate Method
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
//YOUR ACTION
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
//YOUR ACTION
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
//YOUR ACTION
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
//YOUR ACTION
break;
default:
break;
}
}
You can dismiss view by this code - [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
Make sure you are testing it in Real device not in simulator and you have a mail ID configured in your device
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
#interface ViewController ()<MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (IBAction)sendmail:(id)sender {
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"Subject"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Recipients", nil];
[mailer setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSString *emailBody = #"Body";
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:mailer animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
// Close the Mail Interface
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:NULL];
}

dismissViewControllerAnimated: does not work

I have a method to send an email from my table view.
So one of the cells is a "contact us" cell, and whenever it's tapped I get to the mail view controller using MFMailComposeViewController , but the problem is that when I tap "cancel" or "send" my mail view controller does not go back to the table view. the "cancel" and "send" actions work, but I stay on the mail view controller.
This is the relevant methods:
- (void)sendEmail {
// Email Subject
NSString *emailTitle = #"Test Email";
// Email Content
NSString *messageBody = #"iOS programming is so fun!";
// To address
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"kkk#gmail.com"];
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];
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Mail cancelled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Mail saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Mail sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Mail sent failure: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
break;
default:
break;
}
// Close the Mail Interface
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
SettingsControllerSection section = indexPath.section;
if (OtherControllerSection == section) {
SettingsControllerOtherSection row = indexPath.row;
switch (row) {
case RateUsController:
NSLog(#"rate us was pressed");
break;
case ContactUsControllerRow:
[self sendEmail];
NSLog(#"send email was pressed");
break;
}
}
}
please help, thanks!!

How to attach a PDF file to mail and send mail in iOS

Currently I am developing an expense management app and I want to attach a PDF file to the mail and send it to the specified email Address. So guide me from where should I start this and how to develop it.
Thanks.
MFMailComposeViewController *vc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
vc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[vc setSubject:#"Monthly Expense Report"];
[vc addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.pdf",[arrOfExpenseDate objectAtIndex:1]]];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I have created a example for you on how to send an pdf attachment using MFMailComposeViewController. Following is the code :
#interface ViewController () <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (IBAction)compseEmail:(id)sender
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *vc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
vc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[vc setSubject:#"Monthly Expense Report"];
NSString *pdfPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"ApacheInstallationSteps" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSData *pdfData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:pdfPath];
[vc addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:#"ApacheInstallationSteps.pdf"];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert!!!" message:#"Your device can't send emails." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
// Notifies users about errors associated with the interface
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Result: canceled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Result: saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Result: sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Result: failed");
break;
default:
NSLog(#"Result: not sent");
break;
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end
Make sure that you add MessageUI.framework. Following is the output.
To send a pdf or any other attahcment in mail using MFMailComposeViewController, you have to use:
[mc addAttachmentData:fileData mimeType:mimeType fileName:filename];
For more details, follow this tutorial.
You can also download the sample code given in this tutorial for better understanding.
Hope that helps.

EmailDialog not closing when send or even cancelling

i want to send an email, but when i click on send it really sends that email but the view is not closed.
MainViewController.m
NSString *text = [self fetchLogCoreData];
PlistCreatorViewController *plistCreator = [[PlistCreatorViewController alloc] init];
[plistCreator sendPlist2Email:self text:text];
I'm fetching all data in coreData and then put it into an NSString.
Then call sendPlist2Email with self as the view and text as the text i want to use in email.
PlistCreatorViewController.m
-(void)sendPlist2Email: (UIViewController*) viewController text:(NSString*)text{
NSString *emailTitle = #"PickDPack App: DATA";
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:text isHTML:NO];
// Determine the file name and extension
// Get the resource path and read the file using NSData
// Add attachment
[viewController presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Mail cancelled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:

break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Mail sent failure: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
break;
default:
break;
}
MainViewController *mainView = [[MainViewController alloc] init];
// Close the Mail Interface
NSLog(#"Email_out");
[mainView dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Really simple, im sending the email but the window doesn't close when i press send/cancel.
I've tried to put selfinto [mainView dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL]; changing mainViewbut nothing change.
I've put this code inside MainViewController.mbut nothing change.
I hope anyone could help me :S
Thx
Have you tried as like below?
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}

dismissViewControllerAnimated: moves my viewcontroller to initial controller

I tried to mail from imageviewcontroller and it works properly and the mail is send with the captured image successfully. when the send button is pressed, the mailcomposeviewcontroller is dismissed and shows the intial controller used for login purpose, but actually it should move to the current view controller i.e., imageviewcontroller..
Code used in imageviewcontroller,
- (IBAction)mail_button:(id)sender
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.bounds.size);
composeViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
// [composeViewController setMailComposeDelegate:self];
composeViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
// [composeViewController setToRecipients:#[#"example#email.com"]];
[composeViewController setSubject:#"Dressface Mail"];
[composeViewController setMessageBody:#"HI i am using dressface application its very awesome you too try this." isHTML:NO];
UIImage *myimage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Default.png"];
NSData *imgdata = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myimage);
[composeViewController addAttachmentData:imgdata mimeType:#"image/png" fileName:#"Dressfaceimage"];
[self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Mail cancelled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Mail saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Mail sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Mail sent failure: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
break;
default:
break;
}
// Close the Mail Interface
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Can anyone help me to dismiss the mailcomposeviewcontroller and go back to previous controller where the mail_button was placed.
You shouldn't dismiss MFMailComposeViewController passed in didFinishWithResult method as it manages the mail composition view. You should instead call
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
as it will dismisses the view controller that was presented by the receiver, that is the view controller on which you presented MFMailComposeViewController.
You can also write this line in delegate method to dismiss MFMailComposeViewController
[[controller presentingViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
