Phonegap/Cordova EmailComposer with attachments handling Plugin#

Known Issues

• This plugin is not yet plugman compatible. I will work on that in a future version.
• On android, there is code both to send an email in the background or to open the composer. The composer does not automatically return back to the app from which it was called after the email is sent.

NOTICE: VERSION 2.1 This is a plugin I modified for use for my phonegap app. I fixed a few bugs, modified the API to be consistent across both android and ios and included all the files necessary to run on both platforms. I fully acknowledge the original creator of this plugin, I am simply revising and renewing this plugin.

Update: VERSION 1.1 Now the plugin can handle any type of attachments, not only images or PDFs

Description This is a modification of the EmailComposer iOS plugin made by Randy McMillan In this version of the plugin, you can attach images and PDF files to emails. A little refactoring was made. It is compliant with Cordova 2.2.0 standard (new CDVInvokedUrlCommand parameter sent to native methods). If you want to use the plugin with an older version of Cordova you must comment the method

showEmailComposer:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;

and uncomment the method

showEmailComposer:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;

both in EmailComposer.h and EmailComposer.m files

IMPORTANT: You will need to add MessageUI.framework to your project if it is not already included.

IMPORTANT: by now, you can attach only PDF and IMAGES (the latter will be convertend in PNG format)

1. Add the EmailComposer.h EmailComposer.m files to your Plugins Folder.
2. Place the EmailComposer.js file somewhere in your www folder, and include it from your html.
3. Add to config.xml under plugins: <plugin name="EmailComposer" value="EmailComposer" /> or, if using the new format, <feature name="EmailComposer"> <param name="ios-package" value="EmailComposer" /> </feature>

• On android, in the value attribute be sure to include the package name as well, for example value="org.apache.cordova.EmailComposer"

Callable interface:

window.plugins.emailComposer.showEmailComposerWithCallback(callback,subject,body,toRecipients,ccRecipients,bccRecipients,isHtml,attachments);

or

window.plugins.emailComposer.showEmailComposer(subject,body,toRecipients,ccRecipients,bccRecipients,isHtml,attachments);

Parameters:

• isHtml: a bool value indicating if the body is HTML or plain text
• attachments: a js array containing all full paths to the files you want to attach; can be null/empty

Example

window.plugins.emailComposer.showEmailComposerWithCallback(function(result){console.log(result);},"Look at this photo","Take a look at <b>this<b/>:",["[email protected]", "[email protected]"],[],[],true,["_complete_path/image.jpg"]);
