How do I send the contents of a textView as an Email?

I have an app that has favorite quotes that are displayed using a textView. I want to provide the option of emailing directly from this textView. Secondly I would like to be able export to a PDF or Pages document, which I can then email out. Is there any way to do this?

Solution

  • place a UIButton along the textView and send email like this

    -(void)sendEmail 

{
 

 MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
 picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
 
 [picker setSubject:urSubject];
 
  NSString *emailBody =
 [NSString stringWithString:urTextView.text];
 
 [picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];  
 
 [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
 [picker release];
 
}
