i'm having troubles with my MFMessageComposeViewController. I would like to use SMS in-app.
Everything work fine for sending SMS, so far so good. But when i hit the cancel button (or send button too) top of my view disapeared but the keyboard did not. It's maybe because i don't use modale view, but only a addSubview.
-(void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{
if (result == MessageComposeResultCancelled)
{
NSLog(#"Message annulé");
[controller resignFirstResponder];
[controller.view removeFromSuperview];
[controller release];
}
else if (result == MessageComposeResultSent)
{
NSLog(#"Message envoyé");
...
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Message non envoyé");
...
}
}
-(void)sendSMS:(NSString *)bodyOfMessage :(Phone *)recipient
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;
NSMutableArray *toRecipients = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[toRecipients addObject:recipients.phoneNumber];
[picker setRecipients:(NSArray *)toRecipients];
[toRecipients release];
NSString *bodyString = nil;
bodyString = bodyOfMessage;
[picker setBody:bodyString];
[self addSubView:picker.view];
[picker release];
}
}
Any idea ? Had I to use only modalView ?
sorry for spelling mistake...
Thank you. Tommy
Yes, you have to use the modalviewcontroller.
[self presentModalViewController:picker];
Also, you're creating two instances of the MFMessageComposeViewController, first for checking if it can send text and then another to actually show it. I advise to create just one, it's better for the memory :) also the first one is leaking since you didn't release it. Good luck!
if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]) {
MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;
NSString *bodyString = nil;
NSMutableArray *toRecipients = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[toRecipients addObject:#"phone here"];
[picker setRecipients:(NSArray *)toRecipients];
[toRecipients release];
bodyString = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"Message body"];
[picker setBody:bodyString];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
Try close existing keyboard, before presenting modal view controller with MFMessageComposeViewController:
[self.view endEditing:YES]; //close keyboard if it opened
[self presentModalViewController:messageController animated:YES];

I am sending sms programmatically from my view controller but now it is showing me statusbar and vertical black line
my code:
- (IBAction)SendTextBtnTapped:(id)sender {
[self sendSMS:#"Body of SMS..." recipientList:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: nil]];
}
- (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];
}
}
- (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");
}
just add this line
controller.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
OR add this line after present MessageViewController like bellow..
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
OR for whole this viewController use bellow loginin viewWillAppear: paste this code..
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
I think you can use wantsFullScreenLayout.
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = bodyOfMessage;
controller.recipients = recipients;
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
controller.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES; //<== add this
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
I have used the MFMailComposeViewController for sending the email in my code. I have also used the reachability code to check the internet connection. Internet connection is working fine. Whenever I used to send a mail from my code I got the message that email has been sent. But I didn't get any mail. There is no email which is sending from the app. I don't what is the reason behind this. If someone know how to get rid of this problem please provide me some solution.
-(void)sendemail
{
emailBody = #"";
mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mail setSubject:#"Report"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:imagePath];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
[mail addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"image/jpg" fileName:#"licence.png"];
NSMutableString *breakline = [[NSMutableString alloc]init];
[breakline appendString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<br>"]];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"m.garg#ldh.01s.in"];
[mail setToRecipients:toRecipients];
emailBody = [emailBody stringByAppendingFormat:#"%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#",#"Name: ",namestr,breakline,#"Address: ", addresstr,breakline,#"Landmark: ",landmarkstr,breakline,#"City: ", citystr,breakline,#"State: ", statestr,breakline,#"PIN: ", pinstr,breakline,#"Contact No: ",phonestr,breakline,#"Licence:",licencestr,breakline,#"Email Id", emailstr];
[mail setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
if (mail != nil) {
[self presentModalViewController: mail animated: YES];
[mail release];
}
}
Thanks to all.
Simply try something like this:
if([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[controller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"123#abc.com.pk"]];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#""];
[controller setMessageBody:#"" isHTML:NO];
if (controller) [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
and don't forget to add the following delegate method for returning to your app:
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller
didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result
error:(NSError*)error;
{
if (result == MFMailComposeResultSent) {
NSLog(#"It's away!");
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I wonder if your "to recipients" array is being freed before the email got sent.
Are your recipent emails showing in the "Send To" field when the mail composer view controller appears ?
I am using a Window based application and then loading up my initial navigationview based controller in the appDelegate part - application didFinishLaunchingwithOptions (UPDATED)
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
The method of getting the data from the webservice is usually triggered in this method of viewdidload .... in the [self getData]; method.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
if (_refreshHeaderView == nil) {
EGORefreshTableHeaderView *view = [[EGORefreshTableHeaderView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f - self.tableView.bounds.size.height, self.view.frame.size.width, self.tableView.bounds.size.height)];
view.delegate = self;
[self.tableView addSubview:view];
_refreshHeaderView = view;
[view release];
}
// update the last update date
[_refreshHeaderView refreshLastUpdatedDate];
[self loadImages];
HUDMB = [[MBProgressHUD alloc] initWithView:self.view];
[self.view addSubview:HUDMB];
HUDMB.dimBackground = YES;
// Regiser for HUD callbacks so we can remove it from the window at the right time
HUDMB.delegate = self;
HUDMB.labelText = #"Loading..";
[HUDMB show:TRUE];
[self getData];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
Before loading it if the user is not registered/ does not have a credentials present then it takes the user to a login view controller .
- (void)loadView {
[super loadView];
if([Preferences isValid]?YES:NO)
{
}
else
{
int r = arc4random() % 5;
switch (r) {
case 0:
{
loginViewController *sampleView = [[loginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"loginViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:sampleView animated:YES];
[sampleView release];
}
break;
case 1:
{
loginViewController *sampleView = [[loginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"loginViewController" bundle:nil];
[sampleView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:sampleView animated:YES];
[sampleView release];
}
break;
case 2:
{
loginViewController *sampleView = [[loginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"loginViewController" bundle:nil];
[sampleView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:sampleView animated:YES];
[sampleView release];
}
break;
case 4:
{
loginViewController *sampleView = [[loginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"loginViewController" bundle:nil];
[sampleView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:sampleView animated:YES];
[sampleView release];
}
break;
case 3:
{
loginViewController *sampleView = [[loginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"loginViewController" bundle:nil];
[sampleView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:sampleView animated:YES];
[sampleView release];
}
break;

break;
}

I think the getdata function is making a lot of troubles. so let me add that and also the corresponding functions i use for data retrieval and serialization.

NSString *postLengthCMD = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postDataCMD length]+1];
// NSLog(#"The CS String: %#",[Preferences retriveSession]);
requestCMD = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[requestCMD setURL:url];
[requestCMD addRequestHeader:#"Content-Length" value:postLengthCMD];

then right after that i try to load the table with [self getData]; that i get make using webservice call using asiHTTP .. for this question lets say it takes 3 seconds time to get the data and then deserialize it . now... my question is it works out okey in the later runs as I store the username and password in a seure location... but in the first instance.... i am not able to get the data to laod to the tableview... I have tried a lot of things...
1. Initially the data fetch methods was in a diffrent methods.. so i thought that might be the problem as then moved it the same place as the tbleviewController(navigationController)
2. I event put in the Reload data at the end of the functionality for the data parsing and deserialization... nothing happens.
3. The screen is black screen with nothing displayed on it for a good 5 seconds in the consecutive launches of the app.... so could we have something like a MBPorgressHUD implemented for the same.
could any one please help for these scenarios and guidance as to what paths to take from here. ...
Update:
Bounty Just answer 2 of the questions the best you can... The property was a thing i tried but it did not work... but my problem is not that... my problem is my screen is not able to load data from a webservice after i login until i do the "pull to refresh". Next eventualy starting my app takes about 5 seconds to show the screen(till that it shows a black screen)... what is the best way to show the apps Blank screen to the End- user when they make it to the app. I dont want the user to think the app is not working or has adversly affected their phone.
There are a number of potential issues here. The first is related to [self getData] - is this blocking or not?
1. getData is blocking (synchronous)
If this method is blocking (i.e. does not return immediately) then this will explain why you are not seeing anything on the screen for a few seconds. You are currently calling this method in the main thread, so it will stop the UI from being updated until is complete.
You can make it run in the background by doing this:
- (void) getDataInBackgroundThread
{
NSAutoReleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoReleasePool alloc] init];
[self getData];
// force the table to redraw - UI operations must be on the main thread
[tableView performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector( reloadData )];
[pool drain];
}
In your main code, now instead of calling [self getData] call [self getDataInBackgroundThread];
2. getData is not blocking (asynchronous)
Even if getData is blocking, if it runs in the main thread it will still cause the UI to hang. Also, if it uses a lot of processor time it will slow down the UI and give the appearance of not running in the background.
To address this issue, you would need make sure the lengthy operation of getData really is not running in the main thread and also put in sleep() calls every so often to give some time for the UI to update.
You still haven't given enough info for people to really help, we're just guessing.
It is highly likely the delay is caused by getData. Try commenting that out or bracket it with NSLog statements to verify.
You should show us more code, specifically what is happening in getData and any delegate or notification handling implementations related to loading data.
You don't need to explicitly call [tableView reloadData] in viewDidLoad. The tableView automatically loads data the first time it is displayed.
As #dmatt said, if you are loading data asynchronously then getData would return immediately with no delay. You would typically would either respond to delegate messages or notifications (depending on how you are loading data) to reload the table when the data is finished loading and serializing.
There are lots of folks on SO who are happy to try and help you if given enough info. Especially when you offer a bounty.
I use MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail in my app everything works great but if there are no accounts on the iPhone or iPad it returns a standard alertview what I would like to change. If I put a alert in the else it will return 2 alerts. Is there a way to change the standard alert it returns? Or at least change the text in it?
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
controller.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"info#info.nl"];
[controller setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[controller setSubject:#"bericht van info"];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
else {
}
try one thing.. Move your MFMailComposeViewController initialization code inside the canSendMail block.
Move the alloc of the 'MFMailComposeViewController' inside the if:
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
controller.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"info#info.nl"];
[controller setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[controller setSubject:#"bericht van info"];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
} else {
// Display custom alert here.
}
You can check if the device can send emails with
[MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]
And, if not, show the dialog in your side
i have my tabbar and i can hide this tab bar by the following code below but when tapping cancle of iphone mail composer does not return to the default screen can you please guide how can i do this

}

You must have to implement following Delegates.
UINavigationControllerDelegate
MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate,
Like this
<MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate>.
Above might be an issue, because - If you have not implemented above delegate, It will give you compile time warnings but however it will execute.
