Question

My app generates information from textfields to a uitextview, i was wondering how i could send this information on a email when the user clicks a button.

The mail application should open and it will have the contents of the uitextview in the body of the email.

Many Thanks

You have to do it with MFMailComposeViewController. Here’s the code:

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

[composer setMailComposeDelegate:self];
[composer setSubject:@"My Subject"];
[composer setMessageBody:@"Email Body" isHTML:YES];

[self presentModalViewController:composer animated:YES];

[composer release];

Just replace @"My Subject" with your real subject and @"Email Body" with your TextView’s contents. You can also set To, Cc and Bcc fields and add some attachments via this class.

You can also check if app can send an email by using:

[MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail];

E.g. if user didn’t configure his email accounts, this function will return NO.
