Im using the MFMailComposeViewController to send mail from within an application. I have added the code from the Apple example to a UITableViewController, and all works as expected when I trigger the modalViewController from a UIToolBarButton. The problem comes when I put a UIActionSheet between the UIToolBarButton and the MFMailComposeViewController code.
I want to present the user with the option to send by email or post to Facebook. When I call the MFMailComposeViewController methods after the dismissal of the UIActionSheet, my app crashes when the method tries to load the modalViewController. Code below, any ideas??
// UIToolBarButton generates the email string and displays the UIActionSheet with email options
-(void)onEmailButtonTouch {
int mySection;
int myRow;
emailString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<b><p>Ten Essentials Check List</b><br />%@</p>", [myList valueForKey:@"listName"]];
for (mySection = 0; mySection < [[fetchedResultsController sections] count]; mySection ++) {
NSString *sectionName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<p><b>%@ Group</b></p><ul>", [[[fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:mySection] name]];
emailString = [emailString stringByAppendingString:sectionName];
id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [[fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:mySection];
for (myRow = 0; myRow < [sectionInfo numberOfObjects]; myRow ++) {
// Get the managedObject
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:myRow inSection:mySection];
NSManagedObject *managedObject = [fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
//Get the related Item object
Item *item = [managedObject valueForKey:@"item"];
NSString *itemName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<li>%@</li>", item.itemName];
emailString = [emailString stringByAppendingString:itemName];
}
emailString = [emailString stringByAppendingString:@"</ul>"];
}
NSLog(@"email string = :\n%@", emailString);
[self showEmailOptions];
}
// Display an UIActionSheet with email/facebook buttons
-(void)showEmailOptions {
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"eMail Options" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:NULL otherButtonTitles:@"Send List via Email", @"Post List to Facebook", NULL];
[actionSheet showFromToolbar:self.navigationController.toolbar];
[actionSheet release];
}
// Call the MFMailComposeViewController methods if the user selects the Email button of the actioSheet
- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex == 0){
NSLog(@"Opening email");
[self showPicker];
}
