Question

i’m having troubles with my MFMessageComposeViewController. I would like to use SMS in-app.
Everything work fine for sending SMS, so far so good. But when i hit the cancel button (or send button too) top of my view disapeared but the keyboard did not. It’s maybe because i don’t use modale view, but only a addSubview.

-(void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result
{

    if (result == MessageComposeResultCancelled)
    {
        NSLog(@"Message annulé");
        [controller resignFirstResponder];
        [controller.view removeFromSuperview];  
        [controller release]; 
     }
    else if (result == MessageComposeResultSent)
    {
        NSLog(@"Message envoyé");
        ...
    }
    else 
    {
        NSLog(@"Message non envoyé");
        ...
    }
}

-(void)sendSMS:(NSString *)bodyOfMessage :(Phone *)recipient
{
    MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];

    if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
    {
        MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
        picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;

        NSMutableArray *toRecipients = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
        [toRecipients addObject:recipients.phoneNumber];
        [picker setRecipients:(NSArray *)toRecipients];
        [toRecipients release];

        NSString *bodyString = nil;
        bodyString = bodyOfMessage;
        [picker setBody:bodyString];

        [self addSubView:picker.view];
        [picker release];
     }  
}

Any idea ? Had I to use only modalView ?

sorry for spelling mistake…

Thank you. Tommy

Yes, you have to use the modalviewcontroller.

[self presentModalViewController:picker];

Also, you’re creating two instances of the MFMessageComposeViewController, first for checking if it can send text and then another to actually show it. I advise to create just one, it’s better for the memory 🙂 also the first one is leaking since you didn’t release it. Good luck!
