MFMailComposeViewController: image attachment

Xavier · September 2009

Hi,

I'm trying to send an email with an image attached, using MFMailComposeViewController.


MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
(...)

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@\"Icon\" ofType:@\"png\"];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@\"image/png\" fileName:@\"Icon.png\"];
	
NSString *emailBody = @\"Test\";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
	
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];

The image is correctly displayed when I send the email, but when I receive it the image cannot be displayed because it contains some errors.

WHat am I missing ?
Thanks

I've got something very similar going on, the only difference being by isHTML is set to YES rather than your NO, and it works a treat!

Try that and see if it works!

If I send a jpeg file it's working, I don't know what's the problem with my png...

I was having the same problem as you. The Image was showing up in the email, but it was noticeably worse quality than the original image. I'm not sure if this applies to you guys, but this is what fixed it.

NSData *myData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(artworkImageView.image, 0.0);
		[controller addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@\"image/png\" fileName:@\"Albumicon.png\"];
		}
		[controller setSubject:@\"Test\"];
		[controller setMessageBody:(NSString*)all isHTML:YES];
		[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];

The above code was my original code with the bad quality image, and the 0.0 after the artworkImageview.image is what was causing it. I change the 0.0 to 1.0 and the quality was perfect.

Howdy, Stranger!
