Question

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?

Answer 1

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];
}
