Mail and Message not Dismissing from Alert View - ios

Question

I have a UIAlertView that launches an email and a messages screen. When a user clicks on the Alert's button, both views open, however, they do not close.
I have a tried adding:
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
to the body of the class, however, it did not help.
Here is how the email is presented:
[viewController presentViewController:email animated:YES completion:nil];
Edit Here is the entire code I am using to present the email:
//send email...
-(void)sendEmail{
//mail composer
Class mailClass = (NSClassFromString(#"MFMailComposeViewController"));
if(mailClass != nil){
if([mailClass canSendMail]){
//get the current view controller from the App Delegate
apptester_appDelegate *appDelegate = (apptester_appDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UIViewController *viewController = [appDelegate getViewController];
MFMailComposeViewController *email = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
email.mailComposeDelegate = self;
//navigation bar color depends on iOS7 or lower...
if(floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1){
[[email navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor];
}else{
[[email navigationBar] setBarTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}
//show the model view...
[viewController presentViewController:email animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
}
Has anyone else experienced this error?
This may not be relevant, but this app has a tab bar.

Answer 1

Make sure you have set delegate for mail controller
mail.mailComposeDelegate = viewController;
Also try this as well,
[viewController.tabBarController presentViewController:email animated:YES completion:nil];
Have you try this method and pass "controller" instead of self:
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Thanks!

It is the responsibility of presenting controller to dismiss the modal view. Make sure you implement the delegate of the modal in the presenting controller.

Answer 3

Two things:
1) Make sure you set the mailComposeDelegate on the MFMailComposeViewController before you present it.
2) In your mailComposeController:didFinishWithResult:error: method, you should do:
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
