Does anyone know of a To/Subject control a'la iPhone's Mail and SMS application?

Question

I'd like to show a widget with a "To:"-field and a "Subject:"-field, just like Mail application does and the SMS application partly does (it has no subject field). For example, when entering a few letters of a person name a table is shown with relevant hits from the address book. A recipient is encapsulated in a blue bubble. And so on...

Has anyone reversed the MobileMail.app or MobileSMS.app and wrapped it up in an easy to use class? That is my dream ;-)

Thanks in advance! /John

Answer 1

It might be more than you want, because I'm not sure from your question what you're wanting to do with this view. But there's skpsmtpmessage, an open-source SMTP sender that includes the UI. It's available at http://code.google.com/p/skpsmtpmessage/

Answer 2

Actually, that is NOT what I was looking for. It is just a quickNdirty implementation of SMTP.

I am looking for a widget, i.e. a GUI component, that provides the same user experience as the iPhone's Mail and SMS does!

Answer 3

This is a non-answer, but I have looked for this as well, and have not found anything. I ended up doing something different with my idea that didn't require those fields to be directly input. I think you'll have to roll your own.

Answer 4

Check out Joe Hewitt three20 project, it includes a message composer.

Answer 5

catlan points to a good library there with three20.

Also in 3.0 there is the new MessageUI Framework
