This issue is something which has me stumped, so hopefully someone can help. I have an UIActionSheet on a view which has three options in. One which takes my user to a new view, one to share via email and one to share via SMS.
I have the UIActionSheet created which works without issue, the new view part of the AlertSheet also works. I have imported the Message.UI framework and set up the mail and SMS pickers and composers which are fine. However, I am having trouble setting the two ‘buttons’ on the UIActionSheet to open up the mail and SMS.
Normally i would do this through interface builder and connect a UIButton to the actions I have created, but because this is a UIActionSheet it can’t be done that way. Sorry for the LONG code but I felt I needed to show everything, so please see below;
-(IBAction)showActionSheet {
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Choose an Option" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Application Support",@"Share Via Email",@"Share Via SMS",nil];
[actionSheet showInView:self.view];
[actionSheet release];
}
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if(buttonIndex == 0) {
AppSupportView *controller = [[AppSupportView alloc] initWithNibName:@"AppSupportView" bundle:nil];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
if(buttonIndex == 1) {
}
if(buttonIndex == 2) {
}
}
- (void)dealloc {
[feedbackMsg release];
[super dealloc];
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
self.feedbackMsg = nil;
}
-(IBAction)showMailPicker:(id)sender {
// The MFMailComposeViewController class is only available in iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
// So, we must verify the existence of the above class and provide a workaround for devices running
// earlier versions of the iPhone OS.
// We display an email composition interface if MFMailComposeViewController exists and the device
// can send emails. Display feedback message, otherwise.
Class mailClass = (NSClassFromString(@"MFMailComposeViewController"));
if (mailClass != nil) {
//[self displayMailComposerSheet];
// We must always check whether the current device is configured for sending emails
if ([mailClass canSendMail]) {
[self displayMailComposerSheet];
}
else {
feedbackMsg.hidden = NO;
feedbackMsg.text = @"Device not configured to send mail.";
}
}
else {
feedbackMsg.hidden = NO;
feedbackMsg.text = @"Device not configured to send mail.";
}
}
-(IBAction)showSMSPicker:(id)sender {
// The MFMessageComposeViewController class is only available in iPhone OS 4.0 or later.
// So, we must verify the existence of the above class and log an error message for devices
// running earlier versions of the iPhone OS. Set feedbackMsg if device doesn't support
// MFMessageComposeViewController API.
Class messageClass = (NSClassFromString(@"MFMessageComposeViewController"));
if (messageClass != nil) {
// Check whether the current device is configured for sending SMS messages
if ([messageClass canSendText]) {
[self displaySMSComposerSheet];
}
else {

// Set up recipients

//[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSString *emailSharing = @"I Just discovered that I have a Target Heart Rate of";
// Fill out the email body text
[picker setMessageBody:emailSharing isHTML:YES];

[picker release];
}

NSString *SMSShare = @"I Just discovered that I have a Target Heart Rate of";
// Fill out the email body text
picker.body = SMSShare;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
// Dismisses the email composition interface when users tap Cancel or Send. Proceeds to update the
// message field with the result of the operation.

didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {

break;
default:
feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: SMS not sent";
break;
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
@end
The issue is obviously that I dont know how to proceed with the (if buttonIndex ==1) etc piece of code to open the mail and SMS
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if(buttonIndex == 0) {
AppSupportView *controller = [[AppSupportView alloc] initWithNibName:@"AppSupportView" bundle:nil];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
if(buttonIndex == 1) {
}
if(buttonIndex == 2) {
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
looks like all your needed methods are there already..
just add
[self showMailPicker:nil]or[self showSMSPicker:nil]toif your second button from the top is your sms button, add showSMSPicker to buttonIndex == 1
