I'm using MFMessageComposeViewController in my iOS app.
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]){
controller.body = text;
controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:recipient,nil];
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self.navigationController;
[self.navigationController presentViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
-(void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Button "send message" is blue. If you send message not to the iMessage user, iPhone send sms not iMessage, but on some devices(iPhone 4, 5) operation fails. After that error you can't send messages to the user at all !!! using standard sms application in iPhone.
Deletion of contact, reboot, switching off iMessage doesn't solve this problem. MFMessageComposeViewController kills sms sending and we can't solve this issue.
We have iOS 6.1.3 version on out test devices.
try
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;

In my iPhone application, I have just implemented in-app SMS functionality. SMS functionality is working fine. But after opening MFMessageComposeViewController, if user wants to cancel sending sms, they have no option. The only option left is to send an sms, then only return on previous view. There should be a cancel button on navigation bar just as it is in the email composer. Below is the line of code that I wrote to have in-app sms functionality:
-(void) smsComposer{
MFMessageComposeViewController *_smsCompose = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]) {
_smsCompose.body = #"SMS BODY";
_smsCompose.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:_smsCompose animated:YES];
}
}
Is there anything that I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
PC
Try This....
in .h file
#import <MessageUI/MFMessageComposeViewController.h>
and
#interface TestViewController : UIViewController <MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate>
And then Button Click method
-(void)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)button
{
[self sendSMS:#"Body of SMS..." recipientList:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"+1-111-222-3333", #"111-333-4444", nil]];
}
MFMessageComposeViewController to create the SMS content and another method for handling the user interaction with the SMS dialog.
-(void)sendSMS:(NSString *)bodyOfMessage recipientList:(NSArray *)recipients
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = bodyOfMessage;
controller.recipients = recipients;
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
}
And
-(void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
if (result == MessageComposeResultCancelled)
NSLog(#"Message cancelled")
else if (result == MessageComposeResultSent)
NSLog(#"Message sent")
else
NSLog(#"Message failed")
}
And remember: You cannot send SMS messages from within the simulator. Test on Device.
With the SDK / Cocoa Touch, is it feasible to make an app that will SMS automatically?
My objective isn't to SPAM anyone.
It is not possible, exactly for the reason you mentioned: it would make spamming possible.
You would need a server that would handle the SMS for you, and an API for the app to interact with that server. It's not possible to have your app send messages directly from the phone, but you can certainly have your app interact with an external service that will send the messages for you.
Three is a way to pre-build an SMS using MFMessageComposeViewController. The only issue with this method is that a modal view will be shown to the user to accept the SMS (like the window that sends an e-mail by the default way). There is no way to send a SMS in "silent mode" without jailbreak.
{
...
[self sendSMS:#"_SMS_TEXT_" recipientList:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"PHONE_NUMBER", nil]];
...
}
- (void)sendSMS:(NSString *)bodyOfMessage recipientList:(NSArray *)recipients
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = bodyOfMessage;
controller.recipients = recipients;
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
}
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
if (result == MessageComposeResultCancelled)
NSLog(#"Message cancelled")
else if (result == MessageComposeResultSent)
NSLog(#"Message sent")
else
NSLog(#"Message failed")
}
Iphone 4 MFMailComposeViewController
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setMessageBody:#"Welcome" isHTML:NO];
[controller release];
My app to be crash.
Wat i did wrong
Regards,
Arun
The mail composer will crash if the user is unable to send mail. First check to see if the user is able to send mail before trying to instantiate a MFMailComposeViewController.
if([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
//...
}
#Arun , First up all configure the email settings in your device
As Akira says, you can use MFMailComposeViewController after you set up the device's e-mail settings.
init failed, because not iOS mail-application's setting.
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
if (!controller) // failed
return; // auto view alert, "not mail setting..."
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
I am writing code to send sms programatically
Program crashes at second last line.
MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;
picker.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"123456789"]; // your recipient number or self for testing
picker.body = #"test from OS4";
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
I assume it's safe to say that it implements
UIViewController <MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate>
In which case, I would recommend going back to http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2010/04/mfmessagecomposeviewcontroller-sample.html, copying their example and progressing from there.
In my application, MFMailComposeViewController works fine but creating a new instance of MFMessageComposeViewController fails.
Here is the code for both:
-( IBAction)sendSMS: (id)sender
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject: cell.currentTitle ];
picker.recipients = toRecipients;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
-( IBAction)sendEmail: (id)sender
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject: email.currentTitle ];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
Its seemingly obvious that everything is linking correctly because the email view controller works fine. Is there something I am missing maybe configuration wise?
Have you checked +[MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]?
From the MFMessageComposeViewController Class Reference,
Before presenting a message composition view, call the canSendText class method to ensure that the user’s device is appropriately configured. Do not attempt to present a message composition view if the canSendText method returns NO. If SMS delivery isn’t available, you can notify the user or simply disable the SMS features in your application.
Starting in iOS 5, you can register to be notified of changes to the availability of text message sending by way of the MFMessageComposeViewControllerTextMessageAvailabilityDidChangeNotification notification.
Reasons it might be returning nil:
Device isn't running iOS 4.
Device is an iPod Touch/iPad without iMessage enabled.
No SIM card? (The view now shows in iOS 6; the app is not notified of the message send failure.)
"Device" is actually the simulator. (Perhaps this works in iOS 6 too.)
Similarly, [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] returns nil when no mail accounts are enabled (you can quickly test this by disabling accounts in Settings), but also shows a "No mail accounts configured" alert for you. MFMessageComposeViewController does not do this.
