i need to send mail in my application.
for that my code is,
MFMailComposeViewController * mailView = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[mailView setMailComposeDelegate:self];
[mailView setSubject:#"Some Subject"];
[mailView setToRecipients:self.selectedArray];
[self presentModalViewController:mailView animated:YES];
[mailView release];
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
for that i am getting the splash screen like this.
is it possible to send mail without this splash screen.
i need to send mail in background.
can any one please suggest me.
Thank u in advance.
if you don't want to use the composer you have to write your own smtp client.
I've never tried it but from what I've heard skpsmtpmessage should do the trick.

Hi everyoneI need some direction on how to go about accomplishing a task. I have a app with 5 tab bar items I need to program one of the tabs to call a modal dialog box that has three options. 1. Cancel 2. Call Us 3. Email Us. if the user pushes call us the device should start calling our 800 number if they press email us then it should open the email client and put our sales or support team automatically in the "to:" section. Please provide me with some direction or perhaps a tutorial on how to something like this. Thank you for your help.
I have added these tasks in a different view using two UIButtons. if you come up with a way to do a popOver please let me know. If not I will go with what I have. Thank you. The code I used for email and call (both can be found by doing a SO search) in case anyone else looks in on this thread are as follows:
EMAIL
-(IBAction)emailUs:(id)sender
{
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mailViewcontroller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc]init];
mailViewcontroller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailViewcontroller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"CustomerService#laserpros.com", nil]];
[mailViewcontroller setTitle:#"Email Us"];
[mailViewcontroller setSubject:#"Email Us"];
[mailViewcontroller setMessageBody:#"Your message goes here" isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:mailViewcontroller animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Device is unable to send email in its current state.");
}
}
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
CALL
-(IBAction)callUs:(id)sender
{
NSURL *phoneNumber = [NSURL URLWithString:#"telprompt://18885585277"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:phoneNumber];
}
I am having difficulties adding the ability for a user to send a support email to myself (the maker of said app). I have gotten it work almost perfectly however the view doesn't close when you click cancel, or when you click send. Thanks for the help!
Here is the code:
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mail setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"support#lindahlstudios.com"]];
[mail setSubject:#"Fraction Calculator Lite Support"];
[self presentModalViewController:mail animated:YES];
You're setting self to be the MFMailComposeViewController's delegate. In mailComposeController:didFinishWithResult:error: be sure to call
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
like so:
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
You need to implement the delegate method from MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate.
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I have faced some problems, when the user sent the mail. Some of the time the mail comes without message content(Email body), even the user typed the message content.The message content doesn't displayed only some times.(For 10 mail comes into my inbox, 2 or 3 messages comes without content in the email body) So please guide me why its happening?
Here my code is,
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[self displayComposerSheet];
}
-(void) displayComposerSheet
{
picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[picker setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"aaa#bbb.com",nil]];
[picker setSubject:#"ShoutOuts"];
}
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
Please Help me Out.
Thanks!
I don't have a straight answer, but two hints:
a) Why are you calling displayComposerSheet in viewDidLoad? I'd rather put it into viewWillAppear, since the view controller might already be loaded and in memory if used once again.
b) Did you try pre-filling the mail body with a placeholder text to see if that is being sent?
I am trying to send mail using MFMailComposeViewController. Everything works, except that mails do not get sent, and I always get MFMailComposeResultFailed.
Any pointers? I am NOT using the simulator, and sending mail does work from my device. I do have a connection (testing via Reachability), and [MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail] returns YES.
No compiler warnings in the project, no crashes...
It was a bug in IOS4.
I had both an Exchange mail account and an old, inactive IMAP account on my phone. Apparently, that leads to problems with iOS4. The mails actually were stuck in the outbox. Once I removed the inactive IMAP account, everything worked as expected.
Some readers might be facing this problem:
Make sure you implement the <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate> protocol
Here's the code:
// in TestViewController.h
#interface TestViewController : UIViewController<MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
#end
// in TestViewController.m
#interface TestViewController ()
#end
#implementation
- (void) compose {
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Hello there"];
[picker setToRecipients:#[]];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = #"Hello, sending a message from my app";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
// use this function. presentModalViewController:... is deprecated
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end
It's difficult to tell without seeing a code snippet, however you should check the following:
1) you have correctly set the MFMailComposeViewController's delegate and implemented its delegate methods;
2) you have set the mail subject using setSubject:
3) you have set the message body using setMessageBody:isHTML:
and optionally set an attach using addAttachmentData:mimeType:fileName:
4) you have presented to the user your mail compose view controller using something like
[self presentModalViewController:mcvc animated:YES];
Hope this helps.
I want to send emails with attachments from my iphone application with custom UI. What can i use for this?
UPD: maybe it's possible to use some smtp library for this task? What can you advice?
you need to do the following
first add a framework by right clicking on project.
Add -> Existing Framework ->
library/frameworks/MessageUI.framework
then
in ViewController.h file
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>{
//....yor variables
}
ViewController.m file
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = #"Sample Email Application"; // title of navigation bar
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCompose target:self action:#selector(composeMail:)] autorelease]; // for adding a compose button
//in navigation bar.
//...your code
}
-(void) composeMail: (id) sender{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc]init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[[picker navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[picker setSubject:#"Sample Email Application"];
[picker setMessageBody:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Visit for more help %#. ",#"http://google.com"] isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
You will need to compile in your own SMTP server, there are a few online that work. This is a pile of hurt. Just use the iPhones Message Composer which is standard. Unless you are building a email spam client this wont really work.
If you want to send email without using the native mail composer UI and without setting up your own SMTP server, you can check out PostageApp (http://postageapp.com/). There's an iOS / Mac API wrapper that lets you send email through the API. https://github.com/postageapp/postageapp-objc
(Disclosure: I work for PostageApp and developed the plugin.)
The open source three20 framework has designed it's own Mail capabilities via TTMessageController which mimics the original Mail app..You can use that as a starting point and then simply modify the UI of it to your needs.
E-mailing attachments is another story though...
