presentModalViewController:picker not working in iPad MFMailComposeViewController.

Question

Hi,
i am using the following code for the mail composer sheet in iPad application. I used the same code for iPhone. It worked.
I am writing the game in iPad using cocos2d. The game is in landScape mode. The control in EmailScene is stopping at [picker presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES]; It is not giving any error. Should I change my code for iPad ?

@interface EmailScene : CCScene <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
{
    MFMailComposeViewController *picker;
}

-(void)displayComposerSheet;

@end

@implementation EmailScene

- (id) init {
    self = [super init];
   if (self != nil) {
        [self displayComposerSheet];
   }
   return self;
}

// Displays an email composition interface inside the application. Populates all the Mail fields.
-(void)displayComposerSheet
{

    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] pause];

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

    //Fill in the email as you see fit
    NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"[email protected]"]; 
    [picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];

    //display the view
    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:picker.view];
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] stopAnimation];  

//When I commented the following two lines the mail page is opening.
    //[picker presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];

    //[picker release];

}  

But, the problem is my game is in landscape mode and the mail sheet is displayed in portrait mode. Thank you.

You are using -presentModalViewController:… wrongly. This method should be called on the topmost view controller before the "picker" is presented.

[topmostViewController presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];

(You shouldn't add picker.view as a subview of the -openGLView either.)
