ios , Attach Audio file aac format to Email - ios

i try to send a audio record by file aac (kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC) format but the file attached it's doesn't send
*myString = file://localhost/private/var/mobile.......
here is my code
MFMailComposeViewController *picker =
[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"My Audio File"];
NSString *fileName = #"Rec.aac";
NSString *documentsDirectory = myString ;
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[picker addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"audio/aac"
fileName:fileName];
NSString *emailBody = #"AAC format sound file attached.";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];

NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
You're passing in a file:// URL, which won't be understood by that method. That method expects just a standard file path, i.e. /private/var/mobile/.
You could simply use the file path, but if you're only provided with a URL form string, you can create a URL object and use that with NSData.
NSURL* fileURL = [NSURL URLwithString:myString];
NSError* error = nil;
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:fileURL options:0 error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Unable to load file from provided URL %#: %#", myString, error);
}

Attach video to email in iOS

I am trying to attach a video to an email. It is not a local video so I write it to a file. Then I get the data from that file and attach to the email. When the email comes up, the only thing there is the file name "video.mp4" with no video.
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *tempPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingFormat:#"/video.mp4"];
NSLog(#"writing");
BOOL success = [videoData writeToFile:tempPath atomically:NO];
if (success){
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:tempPath];
NSLog(#"path: %#", tempPath);
if (error) {
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
}else{
[controller addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"video/mp4" fileName:#"video.mp4"];
NSLog(#"Data has loaded successfully.");
}
}
I think only approach to try is formatting mail as HTML. Otherwise you will always sending an attachment.
NSString *messageBody = #" /*Some HTML format containing HTML5 video player*/";
[controller setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:YES];
So you need to look for suitable CSS and HTML tags for your video. But don't forget to test it with most e-mail clients as you may see different looks.

Sending a email with pdf attachment from documents directory Objective c

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
- (IBAction)sendMailWithAttachedFile
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
// NSURL* outputURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[self pathForResourse:fileName ofType:extension]];
//Get the file path
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"data.pdf"];
NSURL* outputURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:path];
NSData *data=[[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:outputURL];
[picker addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:#"data.pdf"];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
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];
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mail.editing = YES;
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[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];

Convert Music File to NSData using MPMediaPickerController

I am using MPMediaPickerController to upload music files. When I tried to convert MPMediaItem to NSData, the NSData always returns NULL.
Here is my code:
- (IBAction)addMusic:(id)sender {
MPMediaPickerController *soundPicker=[[MPMediaPickerController alloc] initWithMediaTypes:MPMediaTypeMusic];
soundPicker.delegate=self;
soundPicker.allowsPickingMultipleItems=NO;
[self presentViewController:soundPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)mediaPicker: (MPMediaPickerController *)mediaPicker didPickMediaItems:(MPMediaItemCollection *)mediaItemCollection{
MPMediaItem *item = [[mediaItemCollection items] objectAtIndex:0];
NSURL *url = [item valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
NSString *audioFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",url];
NSData *audioData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:audioFilePath];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Please suggest what can I do to convert MPMediaItem to NSData.
Your problem is in these three lines:
NSURL *url = [item valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
NSString *audioFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",url];
NSData *audioData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:audioFilePath];
Try doing:
NSURL *url = [item valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *audioData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url options:nil error:&error];
if(!audioData)
NSLog(#"error while reading from %# - %#", [url absoluteString], [error localizedDescription]);
And see if that works better.
If you're interested, what was wrong with the first block of code there was that [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",url] probably gives a nil result, since url is a NSURL object and NSString's format is expecting a NSString object.

Unable to attach text file to email

I am trying to generate a text file and attach it to email. Previously I used this code to attach the file to email and it is done successfully.
NSString *recipient = #"myemail#me.com";
NSArray *recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:recipient, nil];
MFMailComposeViewController *mailViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailViewController setSubject:#"Invalid Scan"];
[mailViewController setToRecipients:recipients];
[mailViewController setMessageBody:#"" isHTML:NO];
mailViewController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *textFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingFormat:#"/textfile.txt"];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:textFilePath];
// NSLog(#"my nsdata is %#",myData);
[mailViewController addAttachmentData:myData
mimeType:#"text/csv"
fileName:textfile.txt];
But when I tried to use this statement below ,the file didn't get attached :
NSString *fileName_txtFile= #"textfile.txt";
NSString *textFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/%#",fileName_txtFile],nil];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:textFilePath];
[mailViewController addAttachmentData:myData
mimeType:#"text/csv"
fileName:fileName_txtFile];
I couldn't figure out, why the file is not attaching to the mail. Could you please help me in this issue?
Thanks in advance!!

ios sending email with no attachment

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.
