Hi all,
\nwith these lines of code you can use\u00a0Apple iOS Mail system<\/strong>\u00a0to send an email\u00a0with an attachment<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so easy that i don\u2019t know this method!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, import\u00a0MessageUI<\/strong>\u00a0framework, after include in your header file (.h) the import to the framework:<\/p>\n

[code lang=”java” autolinks=”false” collapse=”false” firstline=”1″ gutter=”true” htmlscript=”false” light=”false” padlinenumbers=”false” smarttabs=”true” tabsize=”4″ toolbar=”false”]#import messageui\/MessageUI.h[\/code]<\/p>\n

and set the\u00a0delegate<\/em>\u00a0to<\/p>\n

[code lang=”java” autolinks=”false” collapse=”false” firstline=”1″ gutter=”true” htmlscript=”false” light=”false” padlinenumbers=”false” smarttabs=”true” tabsize=”4″ toolbar=”false”]mfmailcomposeviewcontrollerdelegate[\/code]<\/p>\n

Now, create a button in your view and attach\u00a0mailil<\/em>\u00a0function!<\/p>\n

[code lang=”java” autolinks=”false” collapse=”false” firstline=”1″ gutter=”true” htmlscript=”false” light=”false” padlinenumbers=”false” smarttabs=”true” tabsize=”4″ toolbar=”false”]-\u00a0(void)\u00a0mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:\u00a0(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error\u00a0{
\n [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
\n}<\/p>\n

–\u00a0(IBAction)\u00a0mailIt\u00a0{
\n MFMailComposeViewController\u00a0*picker\u00a0=\u00a0[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc]\u00a0init];
\n picker.mailComposeDelegate\u00a0=\u00a0self;<\/p>\n

[picker setSubject:@"This is the subject"];<\/p>\n

UIImage\u00a0*roboPic\u00a0=\u00a0[UIImage imageNamed:@"anImage.jpg"];
\n NSData\u00a0*imageData\u00a0=\u00a0UIImageJPEGRepresentation(roboPic,\u00a01);
\n [picker addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:@"image\/jpg"\u00a0fileName:@"anImage.jpg"];<\/p>\n

NSString\u00a0*emailBody\u00a0=\u00a0@"This is the email body!!";
\n [picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];<\/p>\n

[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
\n [picker release];
\n}[\/code]<\/p>\n

done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
