I can send a .csv file as an attachment from my app, but I'd like to shorten the name file for that attachment, because there will be a pile of csv files delivered to the recipient.
Piece of code:
...
if (dorsalesPorTramoYcontrol && dorsalesPorTramoYcontrol.count )
{
NSMutableString *mainString = [[ NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:#"dorsal,paso,tiempo\n"];
for (NSManagedObject *get in dorsalesPorTramoYcontrol) {
//dorsales
NSString *string =[get valueForKey:#"dorsal"];
[mainString appendFormat:#"%#,",string];
//paso
string = [get valueForKey:#"paso"];
string=[string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\"" withString:#"\"\""];
[mainString appendFormat:#"%#,",string];
//tiempo
string = [get valueForKey:#"tiempo"];
string=[string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\"" withString:#"\"\""];
[mainString appendFormat:#"%#",string];
[mainString appendFormat:#"\n"];
}
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
file = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/Tramo%#Control%#.csv", documentsDirectoryPath,section,control];
NSError *csVerror= NULL;
BOOL written = [mainString writeToFile:file atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&csVerror];
if (!written) {
NSLog( #"Writing failed, error = %#",csVerror);
}else {
NSLog(#"Data saved! File path = %#",file);
[self composeEmail];
}
}
}
-(void)composeEmail{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Resultados Tramo: %# - Control: %#", section, control]];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"somebodymail#mail.com", nil];
[mailer setToRecipients:toRecipients];
// Logo
UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"logo.png"];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage);
[mailer addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:#"image/png" fileName:#"Icon"];
[mailer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:file] mimeType:#"text/csv" fileName:file];
NSString *emailBody =
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Resultados Tramo: %# - Control: %# \nDorsal - Paso - Tiempo", section, control];
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
mailer.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
[self presentViewController:mailer animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failure"
message:#"Your device doesn't support the composer sheet"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
}
The filename is the following:
<_var_mobile_Applications_BE8CE610-A83E-4C79-8B9C-0263FA6881D6_Documents_Tramo2Control4.csv>
and I'd like it to be just "Tramo2Control4.csv"
Could you please offer some suggestions to get it?
Change the following line:
[mailer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:file] mimeType:#"text/csv" fileName:file];
To:
NSString *fileName = [file lastPathComponent];
[mailer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:file] mimeType:#"text/csv" fileName:fileName];
You were originally setting the file name to be the entire file path.

I am having issues getting my program to accept the path I gave it and returning it as NSData
// Get the resource path and read the file using NSData
NSString *searchFilename = #"SafetyAuditReport.pdf"; // name of the PDF you are searching for
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSDirectoryEnumerator *direnum = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:documentsDirectory];
NSString *documentsSubpath;
while (documentsSubpath = [direnum nextObject])
{
if (![documentsSubpath.lastPathComponent isEqual:searchFilename]) {
continue;
}
NSLog(#"found %#", documentsSubpath);
}
NSData *pdfData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:documentsSubpath];
// Determine the MIME type
NSString *mimeType = #"application/pdf";
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
[mc addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:mimeType fileName:#""];
NSLog(#"data was loaded.......");
// Present mail view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:nil];
When ever the program gets the the emailing section it throws a nil exception for addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:mimeType fileName: saying the variable I gave it was nil (pdfData) when I know the file exists in the documents directory.
Thanks in advance
plz use this code

Here is how we did it.....
NSString *path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"Name of File" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSData *pdfData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];

mail.editing = YES;

[mail setSubject:#"Your subject"];
[pdfData writeToFile:path atomically:NO];
[mail addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:#"Name OF File.pdf"];
[self presentViewController:mail animated:YES completion:NULL];
Using Apple's template "Tabbed Bar Banner" I found that the button in one of the views only works the first times I pressed it.
If the iPhone is connected to Xcode to run the app, it works great. Once I have detached the cable, the button stops working.

I have made a pdf file and I am trying to attach it with the email but the file doesn't get attached infact the file name isn't what, what it is suppose to be. Following is my code
- (IBAction)btnAttachPDF:(id)sender {
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"video"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"", nil];
[mailer setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *fileName;
fileName = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#"%#.pdf", lblName.text];
lblName.text suppose to returns me the file name which i have entered but it is just .pdf but if I give it a hardcoded value it does stores the name of the file lets say I gave it a name #"rio.pdf" but later on the file doesn't get attached.
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pdfFileName = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSMutableData *myPdfData = [NSMutableData dataWithContentsOfFile:pdfFileName];
[mailer addAttachmentData:myPdfData mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:fileName];
[self presentViewController:mailer animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failure"
message:#"Your device doesn't support the composer sheet"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}
}
Actually the path returned by NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains isn't the exact one. The last component it was returning was /Documents whereas, the files were being saved in /Documents/temp/filename.pdf
I have implemented the module for sending the email from my iPhone device to server. When it comes to the implementation, there is no email file attach instead. I sweared I have added the attACHMENT . THE below is my working
-(IBAction)sendMail:(id)sender{
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"birth.lo#sdsdfsfsdf-hk.com",#"jason.li#asdasdad-hk.com",#"lo.sdad#gmail.com",nil];
mailComposer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc]init];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailComposer setSubject:#"NOXAV testing"];
[mailComposer setToRecipients:toRecipents] ;
[mailComposer setMessageBody:#"Testing message for the test mail" isHTML:NO];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
//make a file name to write the data to using the documents directory:
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/textfile.txt",
documentsDirectory];
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fileName];
NSString *mimeType = #"text/html";
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:fileData mimeType:mimeType fileName:fileName];
[self presentModalViewController:mailComposer animated:YES ];
}
}
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error{
if (result) {
NSLog(#"Result : %d",result);
}
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error : %#",error);
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The MIME type for text file should be text/plain,So change
NSString *mimeType = #"text/html";
to
NSString *mimeType = #"text/plain";
Edit
Also change the fileName here
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:fileData mimeType:mimeType fileName:#"textfile.txt"];
Looks like file name problem, change following statement along with above suggested by Yogesh -
//make a file name to write the data to using the documents directory:
NSString * fileName = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"textfile.txt"];
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fileName];
NSString *mimeType = #"text/plain";
Your fileData may not be getting the data from file. Check if [filedata length] = some value.
I would like to create a file using a NSString (already made) with a .csv extension then email it using the UIMessage framework. So can someone show me the code to create a file (with a .csv extensions and with the contents of a NSString) then how to attach it to a MFMailComposeViewController.
This is how you attach a CSV file to a MFMailComposeViewController:
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"CSV File"];
[mailer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:#"PathToFile.csv"]
mimeType:#"text/csv"
fileName:#"FileName.csv"];
[self presentModalViewController:mailer animated:YES];
// Note: PathToFile.csv is the actual path of the file on your iOS device's
// file system. FileName.csv is what it should be displayed as in the email.
As far as how to generate the CSV file itself, the CHCSVWriter class at https://github.com/davedelong/CHCSVParser will help you.
Here are the parts where you create a new csv, save it to file and attach it all in one. You know, if you're in to that sort of thing
NSString *emailTitle = #"My Email Title";
NSString *messageBody = #"Email Body";
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:#[]];
NSMutableString *csv = [NSMutableString stringWithString:#""];
//add your content to the csv
[csv appendFormat:#"MY DATA YADA YADA"];
NSString* filePath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* fileName = #"MyCSVFileName.csv";
NSString* fileAtPath = [filePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:fileAtPath]) {
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:fileAtPath contents:nil attributes:nil];
}
BOOL res = [[csv dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] writeToFile:fileAtPath atomically:NO];
if (!res) {
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error Creating CSV" message:#"Check your permissions to make sure this app can create files so you may email the app data" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles: nil] show];
}else{
NSLog(#"Data saved! File path = %#", fileName);
[mc addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fileAtPath]
mimeType:#"text/csv"
fileName:#"MyCSVFileName.csv"];
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
