I have a view with a few text boxes and labels. I'd like to email the view containing this information to either a contact list or just a text box with an email address in it.
I can't get the view to email. I'd like to send the whole page without having to somehow list every text box. How do I email the view with this code:
[controller setMessageBody:textBoxesAndInfo isHTML:YES];
-(IBAction)sendMail {
// create an instance of MFMailComposeViewController for sending an e-mail
MFMailComposeViewController *controller =
[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
// set controller's delegate to this object
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setToRecipients:#[#"hello#example.com"]];
[controller setSubject:#"Subject"];
[controller setMessageBody:textBoxesAndInfo isHTML:YES];
// show the MFMailComposeViewController
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
// called when the user finishes sending an e-mail
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Remember to include the MessageUI framework.

I am using MFMailComposeViewController in my application to compose a feedback E-Mail. The MFMailComposeViewController gets displayed, but can't be closed.
Method used to open the MFMailComposeViewController modal window:
-(IBAction) feedbackBtnClicked:(id)sender {
// Dismiss the Old View Controller
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:NULL];
// Present the New View Controller
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mail setSubject:#"Sample Subject"];
[mail setMessageBody:#"Here is some main text in the email!" isHTML:NO];
[mail setToRecipients:#[#"example#mail.com"]];
[self presentViewController:mail animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"This device cannot send email");
}
}
Here is what happens, when clicking on the buttons:
Senden (Send) - The E-Mail gets sent, but the modal window stays open; clicking on that button multiple times results in sending multiple E-Mails without the modal window ever getting closed.
Abbrechen (Cancel) - Nothing happens
How to dismiss make sure the MFMailComposeViewController gets dismissed after clicking on those buttons?
You need to implement the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate method mailComposeController:didFinishWithResult:error:, and dismiss the mail view controller…
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
I am using QLPreviewController for showing the pdf. And I am sending pdf by tapping the share button and then tap on email in the QLPreviewController.
But i don't know how to get that share button method in QLPreviewController to validate that the email account is available or not. Here is the screenshot:
Please let me know about this.
Thanks in advance.
if you have UInavigationController then you can add a bar button for sharing the content. Or you can add a share button in your viewcontroler.
Use MessageUI. Add the delegates MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate.
- (IBAction)contactBtn:(id)sender {
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]){
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[controller setSubject:#"Subject"];
[controller setMessageBody:#" " isHTML:NO];
[controller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"a#wa.com",nil]];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
else{
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failed!" message:#"Mail can not be sent. Check your email settings." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil] ;
[alert show];
}
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
The QL previewer is working on separate process. Something like a different app. So there is no way to customize the share button. see details here
This may help you. See this answer.
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.
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.
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];
I have an iPad application, composed of a root view controller that loads a second view controller. Within that second view controller, I have one button that should present an MFMailComposeViewController.
My Problem is:
On the Simulator, this works fine. However, on actual device, pressing this button locks up the screen and seems to disable all user interaction with the interface.
My Code is:
//************** Send Email using Default IM ************************
-(void) showEmailModalView
{
NSLog(#"Start method <ExportStatisticsController> : <showEmailModalView> --");
// emailTextField.text = [emailTextField.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"(null)" withString:#""];
// subjectTextField.text = [subjectTextField.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"(null)" withString:#""];
// messageBodyTextView.text = [messageBodyTextView.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"(null)" withString:#""];
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self; // <- very important step if you want feedbacks on what the
//user did with your email sheet
[picker setSubject:#""];
NSArray *torec=[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"xyz#company.com", nil];
[picker setToRecipients:torec];
[torec release];
//------ message body ---
NSString *body =#"";
[picker setMessageBody:body isHTML:NO]; // depends. Mostly YES, unless you want to send it as plain text (boring)
picker.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; // choose your style, unfortunately, Translucent colors behave quirky.
// picker.ModalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
NSLog(#"End method <ExportStatisticsController> : <showEmailModalView> --");
}
What could I be doing wrong to cause a screen freeze like this?
The device is probably not set up to send mail.
Before using the MFMailComposeViewController you should call [MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail] to ensure that the device is configured to send mail.
It's probably a good idea too to check that your picker variable is non-nil before trying to present it as a modal view controller.
My app has a common class that displays an actionSheet whenever "Contact Us" is clicked from any one of the many NIBs.
If the user chooses "Email Us" from the actionSheet popup, I'd like to call the email methods from the same common class. After researching I implemented this:
-(void)SendEmail {
rootViewController = (UIViewController*)
[(AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] viewController];
// compose
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = rootViewController;
//format message
NSArray *recipientsArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"support#somename.com", nil];
[controller setToRecipients:recipientsArray];
[controller setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"A question about %#",string]];
[controller setMessageBody:outputMutString isHTML:YES];
//send
if (controller) [rootViewController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
//didFinishWithResult
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error;{
if (result == MFMailComposeResultSent) {
}
[rootViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
This will launch a new email, however:
The didFinishWithResult doesn't work as the modal view is not removed either after sending the email or pressing the Cancel button
I am getting this warning: assigning to 'id' from incompatible type 'UIViewController *__strong'
controller.mailComposeDelegate = rootViewController;
Help appreciated.
You need to set your rootViewController as adopting the delegate MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate.
i.e. in your RootViewController.h file, add that part to the interface declaration so that it looks similar to:
#interface RootViewController : UIViewController <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
