I'm using the following code in two view controllers; one, where it is triggered by pressing a button, and another, where it is triggered by tapping a table cell. In the first, it works fine.
In the second, triggered by the table-cell tap, the mail composer appears, with the fields correctly filled out, but the cursor and keyboard do not appear, so you can't actually enter anything into the mail message. (You can hit Cancel or Send without problems.) Any idea what's wrong? Thanks!
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Message subject"];
[picker setMessageBody:#"Sample message" isHTML:NO];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
} else {
NSLog(#"cant send mail");
}
I figured out the problem, but it's absolutely ridiculous -- probably a bug in the SDK. I was presenting the problem UIViewController with a UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal, while I was presenting the healthy UIViewController with the default transition style. Something about the UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal seems to make the presented view controller greedy to be first-responder; it won't give up first-responder status to the launched MFMailComposeViewController.

I had a tab view controller within which I used to call the code below and it was working fine. I removed the tab and made it a simple navigation controller, but then the same code stopped working. The mail view does not show up. The button action does nothing.
What could be wrong with below code
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *mailViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailViewController setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"test"]];
[mailViewController setMessageBody:#"" isHTML:NO];
[mailViewController setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"test#test.com"]];
[self presentModalViewController:mailViewController animated:YES];
[mailViewController release];}
From your comments above, I'm pretty sure that is your reason. You can't just import the header files to get the MFMailCompose to work. You have to implement the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate and the methods that go along with that for it to present the mail view correctly.
Here is a link to a nice tutorial that should help you out getting the methods configured correctly.

Does anyone have any ideas on the right way to do this? There is one answer to a similar question on here, but it's so convoluted, I can't imagine it being right. There has to be an easier way to just show the keyboard when this modal view pops up. right?
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Mail subject"];
[picker setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"email#email.com",nil]];
hi i am new to iphone. what i need id i have to open support#ensisinfo.com on button click. i need simple compose mail with to address support#ensisinfo.com how can i done this pls post some code thank u.
Use this code into your button action,
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[[mail navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];// Change the navigation bar color
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[mail setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"support#ensisinfo.com",nil]];
[self presentModalViewController:mail animated:YES];
}
[mail release];

Best Of Luck.
First you want to check if [MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail] is YES. If so, then you can send e-mail, otherwise, no accounts are setup.
Next you'll want to create an MFMailComposeViewController, and conform to the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate delegate. From there, on your MFMailComposeViewController, you will want to look at the -setSubject:, -setMessageBody:isHTML: and the -setToRecipients: methods, and finally on your "parent" view controller, -presentModalViewController:animated: to bring your compose view up for the user to send the mail, and release your MFMailComposeViewController.
MFMailComposeViewController displaying only bar at the top of the screen with the cancel and send buttons. Code for landscape:
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"In app email..."];
[controller setMessageBody:#"...Hi, all...." isHTML:NO];
//[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,480,320);
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];
[controller release];
What is problem?
i've ever seen this problem before, as far as i know, you shouldn't replace the presentModalViewController method with addsubview.
I was getting this behavior, as well as the modal view coming in from the side and the modal view was stopping a quarter of the way through presenting.
In my app I had many view controllers stacked with addSubview:. I don't know why but it worked to present the modal view from the bottom view controller. I did something like this:
[((FirstViewController*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).firstViewControllerInstance sendEmailwithInfo];
Hope that helps! And maybe someone can give some insite as to why it was happening.
I've spent the past two days just trying to enable the sending of email from within my app. Hoping one of the smart folks on here can help me out.
presentModalViewController doesn't work for me (just crashes the app with no explanation as to why), so I'm forced to add the view of MFMailComposeViewController. Here's my attempt:
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"test subject"];
[controller setMessageBody:#"this is the message body" isHTML:NO];
// [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES]; //this crashes the app
//so I try this instead:
controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,480,320);
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];
[controller release];
What gets added to the screen is the subject bar only, with cancel and send buttons. None of the text fields (To:, Cc:, Subject, body) are displayed. Why aren't they a part of MFMailComposeViewController's view, and how can I display them?
Honestly, you should be using presentModalViewController. Rather than force your way around the SDK, consider debugging the crash. Turn on the debugger and see if there are any exceptions logged in the console. Check for crash logs, etc...
Also, make sure that self is a proper delegate and a UIViewController subclass.
I 've solved this problem:
try NOT this:
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
but THIS:
MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposeViewController = [MFMailComposeViewController new];
You should instead try:
[[self navigationController] presentModalViewController...];
Since that's the proper way to present it. Trying to add its view manually is unfortunately utterly incorrect and will never work.
Well I have determined that one must create a dummy view controller otherwise the darn thing won't slide in.
I create a class called Sys_Mail that is a #interface Sys_Mail : UIViewController <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
and then i create basically a root view view controller. I wrestled with portrait/landscape for hours but determined that if you attach the view controller to the top level view (which contains my landscape transform) then it slides in as a landscape window. There is just one visual glitch, the parent window gets moved around for a few seconds while the new window slides in, this is a side effect of the landscape transform doing odd things to the parent....
in order to get landscape orientation on the sliding window you must declare a method in your Sys_Mail class that handles the autorotate message:
//=======================
// shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation
//=======================
// see if this ever gets called for the view controller
-(BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation) interfaceOrientation
{
if (TRACE) printf ("shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation\n");
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight); // or whatever orientation is needed
}
the variable gMasterView refers to my top level view (that has the landscape transform and is attached to the window). Subviews don't seem to work, view controllers are awful THEY ARE MORE DESIGN PATTERN CRAP. I want total control of my views not some microsoft MFC type crud!
Sys_Mail* g_root_vc;
if (g_root_vc == nil) {
// create an empty view controller so we have something to work with
g_root_vc = [[Sys_Mail alloc] init];
g_root_vc.view = (UIView*) gMasterView;
}
so this
I have the same crash and finally I can fix it by sending presentModalViewController message to [self navigationController].
Here is my code:
// Create the Mail composer view controller
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
// Set the view controller delegate
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
// Set recipients, if you want
[controller setToRecipients:recipients];
// Set subject, if you want
[controller setSubject:#"The subject"];
// Set message body, if you want
[controller setMessageBody:#"The message body" isHTML:YES]; // isHTML -> YES/NO depending the message body
// Present the view controller
[[self navigationController] presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
// Memory management
[controller release];
I hope this can help!
