cocos2d MFMailComposeViewController

Question

i tried to insert a mail tool in my app.... my app is based on the cocos2d engine

the Toolbar (at the top ->cancel,send...) is visible but i can't see the other parts of the mfMailComposerViewController view :-(

code:

-(void)displayComposerSheet {   
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:@"my message"];

// Set up recipients
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"first@example.com"]; 
NSArray *ccRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"second@example.com", @"third@example.com", nil]; 
NSArray *bccRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"fourth@example.com"]; 

[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[picker setCcRecipients:ccRecipients];  
[picker setBccRecipients:bccRecipients];

// Attach an image to the email
UIImage *screenshot = [[Director sharedDirector] screenShotUIImage];
NSData *myData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(screenshot);
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@"image/png" fileName:@"AdMotiv"]; 

// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = @"test";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[[picker view] setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f,0.0f,320.0f, 480.0f)];

[[picker view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformIdentity];
[[picker view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0.0f,0.0f,320.0f, 480.0f)];
//[[[VariableStore sharedInstance] parentView] setTransform: CGAffineTransformIdentity];
//[[[VariableStore sharedInstance] parentView] setBounds : CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 480.0f, 320.0f)];

UITextField *textfeld = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50.0f, 50.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f)];
[[picker view] addSubview:textfeld];


[[[VariableStore sharedInstance] window]addSubview:picker.view];
[[[VariableStore sharedInstance] window] makeKeyAndVisible];


[picker release];
}

Answer 1

heyyyy finally. i've got it working ... it seems like the trouble was some animations ... ... i've got it like this now:

on init:

emailController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:emailController.view];

on button click:

[[CCDirector sharedDirector] pause]; [[CCDirector sharedDirector] stopAnimation];

MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init]; picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

[picker setSubject:@"TEST"]; [picker setMessageBody:@"JAJAJA" isHTML:YES];

[emailController presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES]; [picker release];

delegate method for MFMailComposeViewController

-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error { [[CCDirector sharedDirector] resume]; [[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation];
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO]; }

Few steps are required to implement inApp email functionality.

Step1: Add the MessageUI frameWork.

Step2: In the .h file, #import "MessageUI/MessageUI.h". Also add delegate MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate, like and the UIViewController *emailMe;

Step3: In the .m file Add these lines of code in the init function

CCMenuItem *emailItem = [CCMenuItemFont itemFromString: @"Email"     target:selfselector:@selector(emailCallback)];
CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems: emailItem, nil];
    menu.position = ccp(50,50);
    [self addChild:menu];

    emailMe = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:emailController.view];

step 4 : add these methods in .m

-(void)emailCallback
{
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] pause];
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] stopAnimation];

    MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

    [picker setSubject:@"Email test "];
    [picker setMessageBody:@"finally its working " isHTML:YES];

    [emailMe presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
    [picker release];
}

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] resume];
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation];

    [controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
}

and run the app its done :)

Answer 3

Hi I tried with this code and works ( not for the animation, I don'know why, but the picker is removed correctly :)

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error 

{
//[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; [picker.view removeFromSuperview];

}

Answer 4

in the last bit there, change picker to self, and it should work. something to double-check, have you set your class as a delegate? i.e. MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate in the header? if not, then it won't be getting the messages.

btw this is in response to the answer you posted, not the initial question.
