Sending in-app email

Question

I need to send an email without exiting the application as the subject and body are already set by the application. I already know how to send an email but I need to exit the application to the email application and click on send to go back to my application. Can't I just send the email without exiting or at least without needing to click on send button, can't there be some sort of a framework that auto-sends the email?

Kind Regards, Heba

Here's the code:

(Don't forget to add the messageUI framework to your project!!!)

First import the message framework:

#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>

then mark your self as a delegate like this

@interface MYViewController () <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>

then to pull up the composer:

- (IBAction)supportPressed:(id)sender
{
    if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
        MFMailComposeViewController *composeViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
        [composeViewController setMailComposeDelegate:self];
        [composeViewController setToRecipients:@[@"example@email.com"]];
        [composeViewController setSubject:@"example subject"];
        [self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:NULL];
    }
}

Then to handle the delegate callback and dismiss the composer:

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
    //Add an alert in case of failure
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

You can use MFMailComposeViewController to send in-app email. You can use this code inside one of your view controllers (for example, in response to a button press). Note that you will need to add the MessageUI framework to your app.

#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>

The code to present the mail view controller:

MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];

mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;

[mail setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"email@example.com"]];
[mail setSubject:@"Set The Subject Here"];    

[self presentModalViewController:mail animated:YES];

See the documentation for how to implement the mailComposeDelegate - you can use this to dismiss the modal view controller when the email is sent or the user has canceled the task.

Use this short code if you are not able to hard code: < a href="mailto:example@example.com" >Send Mail< /a >

Look for MFMailComposeViewController . Also refer this post

Answer 5

To send email within the app you can use the MFMailComposeViewController class.

Like this:

if( [MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail] ) {
    MFMailComposeViewController *mailViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    [mailViewController setRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"mail@address.com"]];
    [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:mailViewController animated:YES];
    [mailViewController release];
}
