How To get Sender E-mail from Device? - iphone

Question

I am sending some data from my application to server. my data consist of different fields as my code shown below
-(void)createXML
{
xmlStr = #"<?xml version='1.0'?>\n<jand_req>\n<inquiryList>\n<productArr>\n";
NSString *nameStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<name>%#</name>\n",name.text];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:nameStr];
NSString *compNameStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<comp_name>%#</comp_name>\n",compName.text];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:compNameStr];
NSString *cityStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<city>%#</city>\n",city.text];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:cityStr];
NSString *countryStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<country>%#</country>\n",[nameToCode objectForKey:country.text]];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:countryStr];
NSString *commentsStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<comment>%#</comment>\n",commentsBox.text];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:commentsStr];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:#"</userDetail>\n</inquiryList>\n</jand_req>"];
}
After this i send the above data to server as my code shown below
- (void)submitForm
{
[self createXML];
NSLog(#"myaccesscode%#",[fn getValFromSettings:#"accessCode"]);
NSString *serviceUrlStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#/API_sendmail.php?access_code=%#",domainName,apiFolderPath,[fn getValFromSettings:#"accessCode"]];
NSLog(#"%#",serviceUrlStr);
NSURL * serviceUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[serviceUrlStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSMutableURLRequest * serviceRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:serviceUrl cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData timeoutInterval:100];
[serviceRequest setValue:#"text/xml" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-type"];
[serviceRequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[serviceRequest setHTTPBody:[xmlStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSURLConnection *conn=[[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:serviceRequest delegate:self startImmediately:YES] autorelease];
}
All the above code works fine for me but now i want to include an another feature in this code Which consist of sender E-mail address but this sender E-mail must be fetch from device same as when we use MFMailComposeViewController in application then automatically it gets sender E-mail Address from Device.Any help will be appriated thanks.

#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
NSString *emailAddr = #"";
ABPerson *aPerson = [[ABAddressBook sharedAddressBook] me];
ABMultiValue *emails = [aPerson valueForProperty:kABEmailProperty];
if([emails count] > 0)
emailAddr = [emails valueAtIndex:0];
don't forget to add AddressBook.framework.
Now, the emailAddr contains the senders email which you can append to your xml string or wherever you want it to!
-(void)createXML
{
// Your code
NSString *emailStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<email>%#</email>\n",emailAddr];
xmlStr=[xmlStr stringByAppendingString:emailStr];
}
happy coding!
