How to call Message App from my current app.
I know to use this code...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"sms:"]];
or
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:
#"sms:1-408-555-1212"]];
But what I want is just to call Message App, I don't want with phone no or without phone no.
Just want to open current Message App View.
Please help me....
MFMessageComposeViewController *messagComposer = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
messagComposer.messageComposeDelegate = self;
messagComposer.recipients = recipientsArray; // here give array of recipints
messagComposer.body = #"Some text";
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
try like this for sending message
Try this ::
Import MessageUI framework in project.
in .h file,
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
Calling Method forSending SMS : [self SendSMS:#"YOUR_MESSAGE" recipientList:ARRAY_OF_RECIPIENTS];
Here, it you don't have any recipient, then pass array as nil.
Method ::
- (void)sendSMS:(NSString *)bodyOfMessage recipientList:(NSArray *)recipients
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = bodyOfMessage;
controller.recipients = recipients;
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
[controller release];
}
Message Framework Methods ::
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Status:" message:#"" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
switch (result) {
case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
alert.message = #"Cancelled";
break;
case MessageComposeResultFailed:
alert.message = #"Failed";
break;
case MessageComposeResultSent:
alert.message = #"Send";
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
Hope, it'll help you.
Thanks.

It worked Before I added the last on (TAG_RATE) but now I don't understand why it isn't working anymore. Please Help.
There is a typo in your code: you have extra ; after the last two else if conditions:
else if (alertView.tag == TAG_EDEV)/*;*/{ // extra `;`
//...
}
else if (alertView.tag == TAG_RATE)/*;*/{ // extra `;` //Expected Expression
// ...

Im trying to use the social framework to present the "Post To Facebook" view controller from within Cocos2d. This is the code I would usually use in a storyboard app
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
SLComposeViewController *facebook = [[SLComposeViewController alloc] init];
facebook = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[facebook setInitialText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"text"]];
[self presentViewController:facebook animated:YES completion:nil];
[facebook setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
NSString *output;
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
output = #"Action Cancelled";
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
output = #"Posted";
NSUserDefaults *ud = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[ud setInteger:1 forKey:#"Shared"];
[ud synchronize];
default:
break;
}
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Facebook" message:output delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}];
}
How would I get this up and running from within Cocos2d? currently it throws up a warning for the line
[self presentViewController:facebook animated:YES completion:nil];
Thanks in advance
In cocos2d 2.0 you can use [CCDirector sharedDirector] instead of self.
[[CCDirector sharedDirector] presentViewController:facebook animated:YES completion:nil];
This works because CCDirector inherits from UIViewController.
This works for me....
-(void) facebookWithInitialText:(NSString*) text {
if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
CCLOG( #"can post to Facebook");
AppController *app = (AppController*) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controller setInitialText:text]; // set initial text
[controller addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Icon-72.png"]]; //add an image
[controller addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.cartoonsmart.com"]]; //add a URL to it
[[app navController] presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil ];
[controller setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
[[app navController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSString *outout = [[NSString alloc] init];
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
outout = #"Post Cancled";
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
outout = #"Post Done";
default:
break;
}
UIAlertView *myalertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Facebook" message:outout delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[myalertView show];
}];
} else {
CCLOG( #"Facebook not accessible or one account not setup.");
}
}
I used the sample code on the Apple Dev site to learn how to set pre-composed emails, but is there a way to set precomposed SMS messages, similarly?
First you have to add the framework MessageUI to your project and import the library "MessageUI/MessageUI.h". Then conform to the protocol <MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate>.
Now to send an SMS:
- (IBAction) sendSMS:(id)sender
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = #"The body of the SMS you want";
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
[controller release];
}
To catch the result of the sending operation:
- (void) messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
switch(result)
{
case MessageComposeResultCancelled: break; //handle cancelled event
case MessageComposeResultFailed: break; //handle failed event
case MessageComposeResultSent: break; //handle sent event
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The body property on MFMessageComposeViewController allows you to set the message body just like you can for an email.
Check out the documentation: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMessageComposeViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html
See this article on Apple's Dev Center:
Sending an SMS Message
PresentModalViewController is now deprecated in IOS 6. So i used
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
whole code is as following
-(IBAction)sendSMSButtonTouchupInside:(id)sender
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller =
[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = #"Whatever you want";
controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"03136602888", nil];
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"MyApp" message:#"Unknown Error"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
switch (result)
{
case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
[alert show];
break;
case MessageComposeResultFailed:
[alert show];
break;
case MessageComposeResultSent:
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
In my app I am using MFMailComposer. It crashes when I send mail without mail configuration (without having entered mail ID and password in the Mail app on the device).
This is the line that causes the crash:
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
-(void) showEmailModalView
{
NSLog(#"Start method <ExportStatisticsController> : <showEmailModalView> --");
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:SendEmailSubject];
NSArray *torec=[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:SendEmailToEmailID, nil];
[picker setToRecipients:torec];
[torec release];
//------ message body ---
NSString *body =#"";
body=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# From : %#\n",body, emailTextField.text];
body=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# Subject : %#\n",body,subjectTextField.text];
//email contents
body = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# Message : \n %#", body,messageBodyTextView.text];
[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.
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
NSLog(#"End method <ExportStatisticsController> : <showEmailModalView> --");
}
// Dismisses the email composition interface when users tap Cancel or Send. Proceeds to update the message field with the result of the operation.
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
NSLog(#"Start method <ExportStatisticsController> : <didFinishWithResult> --");
// Notifies users about errors associated with the interface
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Message MFMailComposeResultCancelled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Message MFMailComposeResultSaved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Message sent Successfuly");
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Email" message:#"Mail Sent Successfully!"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Message MFMailComposeResultFailed");
break;
default:
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Email" message:#"Sending Failed - Unknown Error :-("
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
break;
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSLog(#"End method <ExportStatisticsController> : <didFinishWithResult> --");
}
You should call
[MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]
before presenting the view controller, eg
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *composer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:composer];
} else {
// Show error message maybe
}
That's true. You will have to configure your mail app and check whether the device can send mail or not. Since if it would have been possible without mail app then we would be able to send mail via simulator (which I think is not possible). The receiver of your mail must know from where he/she is getting the mail and I think the sender cannot be set from the code I might be wrong but these are my view since I was struggling the same situation.
Hope it helps.
I use the MFMessageComposeViewController for sending in App sms. in iPhone 4.0, if there is no SIM card, the app exits. it just gives a pop up message "no sim card installed".
The delegate callback MessageComposeResultSent. But application exits. Is there any way to prevent it from exiting? or how to check if there is any SIM card in the phone?
Code snippets below:
/* Open the system sms service, copying the sms text in system clipboard. */
- (void) sendSMSAsURLRequest {
NSString *phoneNumber = friend.phoneMobile;
UIPasteboard *pasteBoard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
NSString *textUTIType = (NSString *)kUTTypeUTF8PlainText; // add MobileCoreServices.framework for this type.
[pasteBoard setValue:[self buildSMSText] forPasteboardType:textUTIType];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"sms:%#", phoneNumber];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: urlString];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: url];
[url release];
}
-(void) sendInAppSMS {
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
controller.delegate = self;
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
NSString *smsText = [self buildSMSText];
controller.body = smsText;
controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:friend.phoneMobile, nil];
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
}
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
switch (result) {
case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
break;
case MessageComposeResultFailed:{
NSString *alertString = NSLocalizedString(#"Unknown Error. Failed to send message", #"");
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:alertString delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
break;
}
case MessageComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"SMS sent");
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
To Detect Sim Card is installed or not use following Code :
#import CoreTelephony;
CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *networkInfo = [CTTelephonyNetworkInfo new];
CTCarrier *carrier = [networkInfo subscriberCellularProvider];
if (!carrier.isoCountryCode) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"No SIM Card Installed" message:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}
else{
//Paste Your code here
}
The work around I am using now is, a flag in the app delegate,
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)aNotification {
if (shouldExitApp) {
exit(0);
}
}
In the SMS sending view controller,
- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
((LuupAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).shouldExitApp = NO;
And set the flag again, when in the SMS sending view controller,
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
((LuupAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).shouldExitApp = YES;
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
}
