Data Attachement in E-mail? - iphone

I save my objects in NSMutablearray in NSData formate.No i am try to attached in E-mail Body.here is code.
- (IBAction)sendEmail
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
NSArray *recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"example#yahoo.com"];
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController
alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"Iphone Game"];
NSString *string = [viewArray componentsJoinedByString:#"\n"];
NSString *emailBody = string;
NSLog(#"test=%#",emailBody);
[controller setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
[controller setToRecipients:recipients];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert"
message:#"Your device is not set up for email." delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];

}
}
I get no error,but not see any data in E-mail.in NSLog i see this..2012-05-07 15:33:22.984 Note List[273:207] test=>]please suggest any one better solution for me how i attached my NSMutableArray data in E-mail body..

i'm not clear with your question, try this way to set your data. and check the values you are going to set before passing it to composer,
see this
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSString *mSubject;
if(isInvite)
{
mSubject=#"TAPP Invitation";
}
else
{
mSubject= #"TAPP email";
}
[picker setSubject:mSubject];
NSString *mBody;
if(isInvite)
{
NSString *pTappId=[[DataModel sharedDataModel] getValueForKey:USER_TAPP_ID];
NSString *currentUserName=[[DataModel sharedDataModel] getValueForKey:CURRENT_USER_NAME];
mBody=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<HTML><BODY>Hi,<br><br>We already know one another, and I would like us to keep in touch.<br><br>Let's connect through TAPP (Download Here) a smarter, private way to exchange and manage contact information.<br><br>Join TAPP and secure your preferred, unique ID before it is too late, and then connect with me. My TAPP ID is %#.<br><br>For more information, click here<br><br>Regards,<br><br>%#</BODY></HTML>",pTappId,currentUserName];
}
else
{
mBody= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<HTML><BODY><br /><br />Connected by <a href=http://www.mytapp.com>TAPP</a></BODY></HTML>"];
}
// Set up recipients
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:selectedEmailId];
//NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#""];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
// Attach an image to the email
//NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"rainy" ofType:#"png"];
//NSData *myData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(photo.image);
//[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:#"image/png" fileName:#"abc.png"];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = mBody;
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];

If you're trying to attach the data as a standard email attachment, use this:
NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(artworkImageView.image, 0.0);
[picker addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"image/jpeg" fileName:#"Photo.jpeg"];
The data can be whatever you want, just give an appropriate mime type and file name.

Maybe your definition of the viewArray is wrong?
In your .h file:
#property(nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *viewArray;
In your .m file:
#synthesize viewArray;
Please have a look at the apple docs for the method "componentsJoindedByString", because I can't found a error quite know.
My test with a viewArray initialization from the api: (works good)
- (IBAction)sendEmail {
self.viewArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"here", #"be", #"dragons", nil];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
NSArray *recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"example#yahoo.com"];
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController
alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"Iphone Game"];
//is anything in the array?
NSLog(#"viewArray: %#", viewArray);
NSString *string = [viewArray componentsJoinedByString:#"\n"];
NSString *emailBody = string;
NSLog(#"test=%#",emailBody);
[controller setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
[controller setToRecipients:recipients];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert"
message:#"Your device is not set up for email." delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
}

MFMailComposer hangs app - no crash report - happens after users upgrade iOS

EDIT: I eventually contacted Apple DTS. After I provided a stackshot from an affected user, DTS decided I should file a bug with Apple BugReporter. So, at this point, I think it's an issue with MFMailComposer, but it's unresolved. The Apple bug number is 13602051
I have a bug that has been coming up again and again in an app.
Some users who upgrade their iOS version report that they can no longer use the email export in my app, which uses MFMailComposer. The app freezes, and doesn't generate a crash report.
My code is pretty simple, and I can't reproduce the reported bug, but many users have now said this happens after an iOS update. Here is the code:
// using ARC, so no reference counting
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
#autoreleasepool {
if (gpxFilePath) {
NSData *gpx = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:gpxFilePath];
[controller addAttachmentData:gpx mimeType:#"text/gpx" fileName:[self cleanFileName]];
gpx = nil;
}
}
[controller setSubject:subject];
[controller setMessageBody:body isHTML:YES];
[[MAP_APP_DELEGATE mainController] presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
After this is called, the email view comes up, but then is unresponsive.
I'm using the next code for iOS 6.1 and it works for me.
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc]init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"subject"];
User *user = [user_array objectAtIndex:1];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"mail address", nil];
[mailer setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSArray *cc = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"mail address", nil];
[mailer setCcRecipients:cc];
NSDictionary *dic = [one array objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *description = [dic objectForKey:#"Description"];
NSString *emailBody = description;
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:mailer animated:YES completion:nil];
[mailer release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failure"
message:#"Your device doesn't support the composer sheet"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
Remember that simulator is not able to send e-mail, so alert view will be shown in this case.
Note 1: presentModalViewController is deprecated in iOS 6.0
Note 2: try to send the email without data to check if this is what causes the issue
This should solve your problem.
[[MAP_APP_DELEGATE mainController] presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
controller = nil;

Send an iphone attachment through email programmatically

I am writing an iPhone app that requires that I send an e-mail attachment programmatically. The attachment is a csv file, that I create through the code. I then attach the file to the email, and the attachment shows up on the phone. When I send the email to myself, however, the attachment doesn't appear in the e-mail. Here is the code I'm using.
[self exportData];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"expenses" ofType:#"csv"];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"Vehicle Expenses from myConsultant"];
NSString *emailBody = #"";
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[mailer addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:#"text/plain" fileName:#"expenses"];
[self presentModalViewController:mailer animated:YES];
[mailer release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failure"
message:#"Your device doesn't support the composer sheet"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Mail cancelled: you cancelled the operation and no email message was queued.");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Mail saved: you saved the email message in the drafts folder.");

break;

Dani's answer is great, however the code seems to be too long for someone looking for a simple way to send an attachment through email programatically.
The Gist
I pruned his answer to take out only the important bits, as well as refactored it like so:
MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
mailComposer.subject = #"Sample subject";
mailComposer.toRecipients = #[#"arthur#example.com", #"jeanne#example.com", ...];
mailComposer.ccRecipients = #[#"nero#example.com", #"mashu#example.com", ...];
[mailComposer setMessageBody:#"Sample body" isHTML:NO];
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:fileData
mimeType:mimeType
fileName:fileName];
[self presentViewController:mailComposer animated:YES completion:nil];
That's basically the gist of it, this is enough as it is. If, for example, you put this code on a button's action, it will present an email composing screen with the respective fields pre-filled up, as well as having the file you want attached to the email.
Further Reading
Framework
The MFMailComposeViewController is under the MessageUI Framework, so to use it, import (if you have not done yet) the Framework like so:
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
Mail Capability Checking
Now when you run the source code, and you have not yet setup a mail account on your device, (not sure what the behavior is on simulator), this code will crash your app. It seems that if the mail account is not yet setup, doing [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] will still result in the mailComposer being nil, causing the crash. As the answer in the linked question states:
You should check is MFMailComposeViewController are able to send your mail just before sending
You can do this by using the canSendMail method like so:
if (![MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[self openCannotSendMailDialog];
return;
}
You can put this right before doing [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] so that you can notify the user immediately.
Handling cannotSendMail
If canSendMail returns false, according to Apple Dev Docs, that means that the device is not configured for sending mail. This could mean that maybe the user has not yet setup their Mail account. To help the user with that, you can offer to open the Mail app and setup their account. You can do this like so:
NSURL *mailUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"message://"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:mailUrl]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:mailUrl];
}
You can then implement openCannotSendMailDialog like so:
- (void)openCannotSendMailDialog
{
UIAlertController *alert =
[UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"Error"
message:#"Cannot send mail."
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
NSURL *mailUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"message://"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:mailUrl]) {
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Open Mail"
style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:mailUrl];
}]];
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Cancel"
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
}]];
} else {
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"OK"
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
}]];
}
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Mime Types
If like me, you forgot/are unsure which mimeType to use, here is a resource you can use. Most probably, text/plain is enough, if the file you are attaching is just a plain text, or image/jpeg / image/png for images.
Delegate
As you probably noticed, Xcode throws us a warning on the following line:
mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
This is because we have not yet set ourself to conform to the appropriate protocol and implement its delegate method. If you want to receive events whether the mail was cancelled, saved, sent or even failed sending, you need to set your class to conform to the protocol MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate, and handle the following events:
MFMailComposeResultSent
MFMailComposeResultSaved
MFMailComposeResultCancelled
MFMailComposeResultFailed
According to Apple Dev Docs (emphasis mine):
The mail compose view controller is not dismissed automatically. When the user taps the buttons to send the email or cancel the interface, the mail compose view controller calls the mailComposeController:didFinishWithResult:error: method of its delegate. Your implementation of that method must dismiss the view controller explicitly.
With this in mind, we can then implement the delegate method like so:
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result
error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result) {
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
// Mail was sent
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
// Mail was saved as draft
break;
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
// Mail composition was cancelled
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
//
break;
default:
//
break;
}
// Dismiss the mail compose view controller.
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Conclusion
The final code may look like so:
- (void)openMailComposerWithSubject:(NSString *)subject
toRecipientArray:(NSArray *)toRecipientArray
ccRecipientArray:(NSArray *)ccRecipientArray
messageBody:(NSString *)messageBody
isMessageBodyHTML:(BOOL)isHTML
attachingFileOnPath:(NSString)filePath
mimeType:(NSString *)mimeType
{
if (![MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[self openCannotSendMailDialog];
return;
}
MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposer =
[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
mailComposer.subject = subject;
mailComposer.toRecipients = toRecipientArray;
mailComposer.ccRecipients = ccRecipientArray;
[mailComposer setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:isHTML];
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
NSString *fileName = filePath.lastPathComponent;
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:fileData
mimeType:mimeType
fileName:fileName];
[self presentViewController:mailComposer animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)openCannotSendMailDialog
{
UIAlertController *alert =
[UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"Error"
message:#"Cannot send mail."
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
NSURL *mailUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"message://"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:mailUrl]) {
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Open Mail"
style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:mailUrl];
}]];
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Cancel"
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
}]];
} else {
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"OK"
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
}]];
}
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result
error:(NSError *)error
{
NSString *message;
switch (result) {
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
message = #"Mail was sent.";
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
message = #"Mail was saved as draft.";
break;
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
message = #"Mail composition was cancelled.";
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
message = #"Mail sending failed.";
break;
default:
//
break;
}
// Dismiss the mail compose view controller.
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
if (message) {
UIAlertController *alert =
[UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"Confirmation"
message:message
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
[alert addAction:
[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"OK"
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
}]];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}];
}
With the button action looking like:
- (IBAction)mailButtonTapped:(id)sender
{
NSString *reportFilePath = ...
[self openMailComposerWithSubject:#"Report Files"
toRecipientArray:mainReportRecipientArray
ccRecipientArray:subReportRecipientArray
messageBody:#"I have attached report files in this email"
isMessageBodyHTML:NO
attachingFileOnPath:reportFilePath
mimeType:#"text/plain"];
}
I kind of went overboard here, but you can, with a grain of salt, take and use the code I posted here. Of course there is a need to adapt it to your requirements, but that is up to you. (I also modified this answer from my working source code, so there might be errors somewhere, please do comment if you find one :))
The issue was that I wasn't looking in the proper place for the file. Thanks #EmilioPalesz .
Here's the code I needed:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory , NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *root = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"expenses.csv"]
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:root];

findig and storing the video file path in iphone

I am trying to find the video file path and get store that path into my sqlite I getting video from the photo lib For that use the code like that
-(IBAction)showVideoLibraryPicker
{
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary])
{
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
else {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Error" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
}
And for taking video i use this code
- (IBAction)showVideoPicker {
//picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
//
// picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
// picker.mediaTypes =[UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:picker.sourceType];
// picker.delegate = self; picker.editing = NO; [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
//picker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(id)kUTTypeMovie];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
//[picker setCameraOverlayView:cameraOverlay];
// picker.navigationBarHidden = YES;
// picker.toolbarHidden = YES;
}
else {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Camera is not available" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
// [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
I am confused how can get the path for storing that video path into sqlite .
I find the photo path but didn't get the video path .
For finding the photo path I use the code like this
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.imageView.image);
NSData *myImage=[[NSData alloc]initWithData:imageData];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"%#",documentsDirectory);
NSString *fullPathToFile = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.png",camtitle.text]];
[myImage writeToFile:fullPathToFile atomically:YES];
NSLog(#"%#",fullPathToFile);
[myImage release];
How can I do for the video also .I need help to solve it out problem
Thanks in advance
Pl. go thru this doc.
Importantly, Implementing a Delegate for the Camera Interface , Listing 2 in that link.
Read the video file data from the obtained path and store that to documents folder.

MailComposeViewController - when i press button "Cancel" i don't see the panel with "Draft" ,"Save Draft" and "Cancel" buttons

I am using the MFMailComposeViewController Controller like this:
MFMailComposeViewController *picker1 = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker1.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker1 setSubject:#"I have a pencil for you"];
UIImage *roboPic = [UIImage imageNamed:#"RobotWithPencil.jpg"];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(roboPic, 1);
[picker addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:#"image/jpg" fileName:#"RobotWithPencil.jpg"];
NSString *emailBody = #"This is a cool image of a robot I found. Check it out!";
[picker1 setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
picker1.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
[self presentModalViewController:picker1 animated:YES];
[picker1 release];
When I press the "Cancel" button I don't see the panel with "Draft", "Save Draft" and "Cancel" buttons, the screen is locked/frozen but the panel with buttons mentioned above doesn't appear.
I will be glad to get any assistance.
Thanks in advance

you have to use this for mail composing. and in interface file write this delegte MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate . also import messageUi framework. its working.
#pragma mark Compose Mail
// Displays an email composition interface inside the application. Populates all the Mail fields.
-(void)displayComposer
{
if(![MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
[self setUpMailAccount];
return;
}
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Strpy's Revange"];
[[picker navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

Mail Composer Problem with app ondevice method

I am using this code for mail
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSString *msgTitle = #"Sample Title";
[picker setSubject:msgTitle];
NSArray *toRecipients =[[NSArray alloc] init];
NSArray *ccRecipients =[[NSArray alloc] init];
NSArray *bccRecipients =[[NSArray alloc] init];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[picker setCcRecipients:ccRecipients];
[picker setBccRecipients:bccRecipients];
NSString *sum = #"The Email Body string is here";
NSString *emailBody;
emailBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",sum];
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
it works,
i want to know,is it required to modify
-(void)launchMailAppOnDevice
{
NSString *recipients = #"mailto:first#example.com?cc=second#example.com,third#example.com&subject=Hello from California!";
NSString *body = #"&body=It is raining in sunny California!";
NSString *email = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", recipients, body];
email = [email stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:email]];
}
if yes then
how i modify in this method.
Please help me.
If email address is given statically and displayed in To address.
You can use this code,
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[mail setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"AAA#BBB.com",nil]];
[self presentModalViewController:mail animated:YES];
}
[mail release];
And
see my answer
Best of luck.
