Question

I use the TTMessageController in my project.

The user can auto search
or pick a contact from his address book so that I can retrieve the
recipients from TTMessageRecipientField as NSArray.

However when the
user provides a contact that is not in his address book the NSArray
"recipients" is empty (e.g. when he just types in a contact instead of picking it from address book).

Is there a way to get just the contant string from TTMessageController?

Answer 1

After having a closer look at the TTMessageController class I found a solution.

In your TTMessageController subclass use following method

[self textForFieldAtIndex:0]

returns the string value of the recipient text field.
