Sending E-mail from your iOS App

Hi Guys , In this section i will  describe you how to send an e-mail from your app. I don't think we need more explanation on this topic, as Apple has given us a simple framework <MessageUI> for doing this. You just need to know how to implement its class and delegates.
Below are the steps that will help you to send an email from your app :

1. Include MessageUI Framework to your project and import  #import "MessageUI/MessageUI.h"
2. Include  MessageUI delegate  <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>       
3. Lets define some custom method in .h file for customizing the email composing view
    -(void)displayComposerSheet : (NSString*) address withSubject:(NSString*) subject withContent:(NSString*) content;
   - (void) email: (NSString*) address withSubject:(NSString*) subject withContent:(NSString*) content;
4. Now, lets make a call from where you want to display a  email composer sheet
     -(IBAction)emailMe { // This is the method from which you want to send email
[self email:@"jwarchansameer1@googlemail.com" withSubject:@"Message Header" withContent:@"your message goes here..."]; 

}

5. Here are our custom method definition :
-->

- (void) email: (NSString*) address withSubject:(NSString*) subject withContent:(NSString*) content {

Class mailClass = (NSClassFromString(@"MFMailComposeViewController"));

 if (mailClass != nil){ // checking whether this class/feature is available or not in running device

     // We must always check whether the current device is configured for sending emails or not

        if ([mailClass canSendMail]  {  

     // Yes, proceed your email composition

   [self displayComposerSheet:address withSubject:subject withContent:content];

        }

        else{

      // No, display information of failure

   UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Error !" message:@"Sorry, this device is not configured to send email.\n Kindly configure your email account in Device Settings." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];

            [alert show];

        }

    }

    else

    {   // No Support of this feature

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Error !" message:@"Sorry, This Feature is only available in iPhone OS 3.0 or later." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];

        [alert show];

    }  

}

-->

// Present  email composition interface inside your app. It populates all the Mail fields.

-(void)displayComposerSheet : (NSString*) address withSubject:(NSString*) subject withContent:(NSString*) content{

      MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];

      picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

     [picker setSubject:   subject]; // your message title/header

     NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:address];

    [picker setToRecipients:toRecipients]; // Receipient's email addresses

    //    ——- Attaching any File to mail ——- // Optional

  /*  NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”Smile” ofType:@”png”];

       NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

       [picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@"image/png" fileName:@"Smile.png"];*/

   

    //    ——- set cc mail address ——-  // Optional

 ///   [picker setCcRecipients:toRecipients];

    //    ——- set Bcc mail address ——-  // Optional

  ////  [picker setBccRecipients:toRecipients];

   

     [picker setMessageBody:content isHTML:YES]; // this sets your message

     //picker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;

    // picker.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;

    // picker.navigationItem.title =@"Test";

    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];

} 

 6. Finally, we will use the receiving delegate method. In this delegate method, we will track whether email is sent or not, or cancelled by user .
-->

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {  

    // Notifies users about errors associated with the interface

          switch (result) {

        case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:

               NSLog(@"Email canceled by user.");

               break;

        case MFMailComposeResultSaved:

               NSLog(@"Email draft saved.") ;

         break;

        case MFMailComposeResultSent:

               NSLog(@"Email sent.");

               break;

     case MFMailComposeResultFailed:

               NSLog(@"Email failed.");

               break;

        default:

               NSLog(@"Email not sent.");

            break;

    }

 [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];  

}
