katzer / cordova-plugin-email-composer Goto Github PK

I have been trying to use this plugin in android for quite few days now but failing. I have followed all the steps mentioned in the readme file but all in vain. Here are the steps that I followed:
1> added the <gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.email-composer" version="0.8.0" /> in config.xml
2> installed the plugin by running this command in phonegap cli -
phonegap local plugin add

I also tried to solve the issue by following this tutorial: Issue#9
but that didnt work out for me. Please help.

I have used the plugin in my project .As its working fine on android but not working on iOS platform . Can anyone help me out.

Are there any differences between the iPhone 5 and 5s that would cause issues for sending email using this plugin? I have two test users with ios v7.1.1 iPhone 5s that can not send email. The iPhone 5 can email while anyone with a 5s can't. Is this a bug?

application details:
phonegap
cordova 3.2
Jquery mobile 1.4.2
Jquery 1.11.0

I am using phonegap build 3.3 with your latest plugin 0.7.1

My device
Android 4.03， iOS 7.0.6，Windows phone 8 (Nokia Lumia 520)

Q1
When I use this method

window.plugin.email.isServiceAvailable(
    function (isAvailable) {
        alert(isAvailable ? 'Service is available' : 'Service NOT available');
    }
);

Android：Service is available (good，I use a Gmail account)
iOS：Service is available (good，I use a Gmail account)
Windows phone：Service is available (so strange，I have no account in my device)

Q2
When I use this method

window.plugin.email.open({
    to:      ['[email protected]'],
    cc:      ['[email protected]'],
    bcc:     ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
    attachments: ['......'],
    subject: 'Hello World!',
    body:    '<h3>TEST</h3><h2>TEST</h2><h1>TEST</h1>',
    isHtml:  true
});

Android：almost work (In addition "cc" and "bcc"，I am using Gmail app to send a mail)
iOS：all work (In addition "attachments")

Hi,
Here are issue when install Cordova plugin email composer, only iOS:

Step 1: cordova plugin add https: //github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer.git

config.xml
< feature name="EmailComposer">
< param name="ios-package" value="APPEmailComposer" />
</ feature>
Step2:
window.plugin.email.open({
to: ['[email protected]'],
cc: ['[email protected]'],
bcc: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
subject: 'Greetings',
body: 'How are you? Nice greetings from Leipzig'
});

Step3: build app
-> error message:

ERROR: Plugin 'EmailComposer' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin. Check your plugin mapping in config.xml.

Please you recheck.
Thanks,

Ciao Sebastián !!!

html with css works great on iOS, but Android returns all the plain text of the html file except html tags, in the body.

(e-mail account created and working)

after calling the email composer function Android prompts the [Select Email App popup] Tap on "E-mail"

to: OK
subject: OK
body: no html formatted but just plain text (showing the whole html text except html tags)

When i install the plugin for WP7 platform what should we configured in congif.xml file.
I followed steps by specifining <gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.email-composer" /> in config.xml but it give error that <gap is undefined.
I also tried specifiing feature with name and value as "EmailComposer".

I am using cordova version 3.1.0

will be thankfull to you if theres any solution for it.

Would it be possible to add a complete callback function that fires when the app returns from sending emails (or cancelling - I know you probably can't tell the difference).

I'm unable to attach an audio file to an email in Android. Using the Android "Mail" client, the client says the attachment is corrupted. I know that it is not corrupted because I can play it back fine. I've tried the following paths, but both result in the same message:

file:///data/data/com.willswebworks.recovery/files/journal/journalEntry-1.amr
/data/data/com.willswebworks.recovery/files/journal/journalEntry-1.amr

Any ideas?

I am trying to use this plugin on a small app, but when I do

window.plugin.email.open();

Nothing happens.

If I try to do this from console (using Weinre debugger) I get an "undefined" response

plugin is configured on config.xml and the app is built using PhoneGap Build

I'm using phonegap version 3.4.0 with Onsen UI (Angular.js)

On this line in EmailComposer.java

draft.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body));

I'm getting the following error.

Key android.intent.extra.TEXT expected ArrayList but value was a android.text.SpannableStringBuilder. The default value was returned.

I have found a few articles containing similar issues but I am not familiar with Java so I do not know how to create the proper cast. I will keep working on it but if there is a fix please let me know.

I'm using this plugin in conjunction with file transfer plugin. While with emails without attachments it works fine, as soon as I attach a PDF, the app crashes.

The file transfer plugin stores the PDFs in "cdvfile://localhost/persistent/path/to/downloads/" folder and I am passing the same file name for the attachments. I am not sure if it can read the file at all, maybe the path should be different.

Appreciate any help.

Hi.

I'm testing this pugin with Phonegap Build.

All works fine but I can't attach an image.

I'm using the camera to capture image and send email composer the URI of image.

The path is like: file:///var/mobile/Applications/......../tmp/cdv_photo_001.jpg

I tried to slice the firsts character but doesn't work.

How can I attach image to email?

Thanks.

Ciao Sebastián, html on Android is shown as plain text, try this:

var htmBody = "test for <strong>android</strong> html <a href='http://www.google.com'>google</a>";

window.plugin.email.open({
        to:          [],
        cc:          [],
        bcc:         [],
        attachments: [],
        subject:     "android html text",
        body:        htmBody,
        isHtml:      true,
    });

Is it possible to include an image tag in the body.

I have something like:
window.plugin.email.open({
body: "<img src='http://validimage.com/image.jpg' /><br /><a href='http://github.com' >here</a>",
isHtml: true
});

The link is created properly, but instead of getting the image, even though I checked the URL to make sure it is valid, it displays an [obj] tag.

I'm trying this on a Android device. At this moment I don't know if the problem is with the plug in or with the mobile device itself.

Thanks

Hi there. Im using the plugin and I would like to report some issues and ask some questions:

In my application, the user can see data sent from a server and then he can chose weather he wants to send this data through email.

1 - I can't use CSS on the email body. It simply doesn't apply any style.
2 - I can't get the img tag (< img >) to work! It just shows me "Obj" on the email (using android with gmail client). How am I suppose to put the image file path?
3 - The plugin causes lost of context which means after the user selects to send the email and come back to the app, the app is restarted, which is not interesting in my case for the user should be able to select another data to send.

Can you help me there?

Thanks in advance.

you'll get a »Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER« because every provider has to have a unique android:authorities name.

Perhaps is PR35 (#35) solution, because it doesn't need the attachmentprovider anymore.

What do you think @katzer ?

HTML markup (not just CSS) is stripped out of the message body in Android's default email app.

        window.plugin.email.open({
                        subject:    'Test',
                        body:       '<h1>Test</h1><a href="http://google.com'">Test</a>',
                        isHtml:     true,
                    }, emailCallback);

Tried sending the message to my gmail address. Received a plain text email with no hyperlink or formatting:

 Test
 Test

Tested on Android emulator platform 4.4.2 API level 19.

with the provider tags (included in the android manifest by the plugin), you can not have the same android:authorities attribute across multiple apps. Tying to upload a second app with the plugin into an android device, I get a INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER error.

Hi,

I've installed the plugin on cordova 3.1 and I'm getting the following 2 errors whenever I'm trying to use it.

When I load the app to my android device:
11-08 15:47:25.689: E/Web Console(29177): Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined at file:///android_asset/www/js/email_composer.js:51

11-08 15:54:07.348: E/Web Console(29177): Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON at file:///android_asset/www/cordova.js:901

Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

I am using PGB 3.3 with latest plugin 0.8.0 in Android (ios and winphone not try yet)

Q1
when I use

attachments: ['absolute://storage/sdcard/download/4110.apk']
or
attachments: ['/sdcard/download/4110.apk']

it will work and attach my 4110.apk file to my email

but when I use

attachments: ['relative://drawable/icon']
or
attachments: ['relative://drawable/icon.png']

http://www.littlebau.com/relative.gif
it will not work (just no response or appear any wrong message)

Q2
in this page
https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer/blob/0cc829af59b94b52db63a999064577a6962bf763/README.md
it told me...

in Android，relative path must be point to a file from the "res" folder
http://www.littlebau.com/relative.gif

in iOS，relative path must be point to a file from the "root" folder
http://www.littlebau.com/relative_ios.gif
but I don't know which one is the "root" folder by ios @@

I followed instructions given in the ReadME file, but unable to run this plugin on the app.
Is there extra configuration settings needed for using this plugin with cordova 3.0.0

It worked fine till yesterday but now when I try to build a project it says this:
The following build commands failed:

The only difference is that I changed provisioning profile. when I remove this plugin build passes.

The following occurs whenever I add a body to my email

What exactly is the solution to this problem?

I have deleted and reinstalled the MessageUI.framework but I still get the error.
Do I have to use another framework?

Thank you and my apologies if the answer if very obvious, but I don't seem to find it.

I created new Android project with phonegap 3.3.0 using the cmd interface. I can run the phonegap on my android phone. Tried to follow your instruction to install the plugin email composer but I every time I run the code window.plugin.email.open(); I got this error

Just to let you know that I was using your window.plugin.email.isServiceAvailable() method to check for email configuration and was getting the error callback on a properly configured HTC One.

I removed the check method and just tried to open email and it works fine (therefore leading me to believe the isServiceAvailble method is not recognizing a correct email configuration of this variety).

Some limited details on the device:

// device: HTC One // platform: Android 4.3 // cordova: 3.3.0

I'm trying to port my existing iOS application to android, haven't done any tweaks yet just a quick & dirt try.

So I used 'phonegap build android' and imported the android files to eclipse now if I want to start it on my tab 4 I got the following error log:

I understood that it couldn't find the AttachmentProvider class, but why ? I also couldn't find the file in my platform/android directory. So where is it ? Or maybe I failed installing the plugin.. but works like charm on iOS.

Cheers Marvin

window.plugin.email.open({
to: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
subject: 'Hello',
body: 'download files',
attachments: ['file:///storage/sdcard0/xxx/filename.xls','file:///storage/sdcard0/xxx/filename.pdf'],
isHtml: true
});

Only the 2nd attachment gets attached in the composer. Rather when multiple attachments are there only the last one is attached in the composer.

Hi,

I can't attach file in base64 formats. I have device Samsung Note 3 (SM-N9005), Android 4.4.2.
I'm using this code.
window.plugin.email.open({
subject: 'hi there',
body: 'file for you',
isHtml: true,
attachments: [dataURL]
});
On the other device with android 4.0.x it is working.

Hello, I am using your plugin to send a mail with some data. Now I need to attach a file and I am a little lost on how to do it consistently for iOS and android. In android, I create a file to store it in persistent file system (ie: /myApFileSystem/test.pdf), to include in attachments array structure I must prefix with "absolute://sdcard/", this works fine, but in ios I cannot know (at least I do not notice) the absolute file path (see https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/blob/master/doc/index.md). I try with relative prefix but I cannot get the right way to do it (I try 'relative://myApFileSystem/test.pdf').
Can you guide me on how to set the string path for attachments ?

If you have hydrated app and want to install e-mail composer - uninstall and install app on device. Just like geolocation email composer must have permissions on app installation.

The MessageUI Framework isnt added to the project after the plugin was added.
The following line from plugin.xml seems not to working:

<framework src="MessageUI.framework" weak="true" />

Hi Sebastian,

This is probably an enhancement more than an issue, but I don't seem to be able to send a csv file nor a txt file. It shows up in the composer, but when I click 'send' it doesn't appear in the mail of the recipient.

He gets the mail without an attachment.. Is this some iPad feature or third party application I should have to be able to send this?

Thank you and my apologies if this is off topic

I am using verstion 0.8.1 of the plugin with a Samsung Galaxy Grand2 (android 4.3). When i attach a base64-encoded png file i get a java.lang.SecurityException: Provider .................. does not allow granting of Uri permissions.
Adding android:grantUriPermissions="true" to plugin.xml solves the issue.
Do u think this is the proper solution or is there any other workaround?

Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to use CSS to stylize the email. It simply doesn't recognize the style elements I put like font-weight and color.

Thanks

I am using PGB (build.phonegap.com) 3.3 with your latest plugin 0.8.0

if I add this plugin to my config.xml and build it

<gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.email-composer" version="0.8.0" />

it will build success
download the apk success
but...when I install the apk file through PGB，Installation will fail

if I don't use this plugin
build，download，Installation，all of them success

trust me
I tried many times to find this issues，very hard work

Update the plugin to support Android.

A custom version of the EmailComposerWithAttachments plugin can be used.

I need to send a predefined email to app users when they finish but not use their email I want to set my email pop / map details, like what you would do with php,asp.net to send mail from one account? So I can track who was sent a email.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

iOS，ipad mini，7.0.4
Android，HTC Sensational XL，4.0.3

when I set "attachments" method like this(only this method not work)

attachments: ['https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo4w.png'],

but it's not work with ios and android

When trying to send an email on iOS it sends the email with the same font type and formatted. When sending an email on Android using the default mail app the font is not the same neither it is formatted.

Is this a problem with any plugin option?

I can't currently spend too much time on this and my android is not very good, but is it possible that in EmailComposer.java you are not respecting the '/email_composer/' directory that you created when building the return Uri of the getUriForBase64Content method or something like that?

Hi. Thx for the nice plugin.
The files i send don't have the right name. It is like : attachment1.jpg, attachment2.jpg ...
Is there any way to send the right names? Thx

I am still using Cordova 2.9 so I installed the plugin manually

1- I do not know how window.plugin.email.open can work at all, looking at the js only plugin is exported, so I am using window.plugin.open to trigger the email composer. Is this because I installed it manually? Anyway this way it works.

2- I had to comment out the lines of code within the execCallback function in APPEmailComposer.m because that was crashing my app. Now it works, but I do not get any callback when the email is sent and the composer panel is dismissed...

I am calling the plugin like:

window.plugin.open({
    to : [mailto], 
    cc : [],
    bcc : [], 
    attachments : ["var/mobile/Applications/MYAPP_ID/Documents/file.txt"], //
    subject : subject, 
    body : body, 
    isHtml : true
    }, sendStatus, this);

How can I get sendStatus to be called after the panel is dismissed?

This is the line in xCode causing the problem:
[self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:result callbackId:_command.callbackId];

triggering an error thread 1 exc_bad_access on _command

xCode 5 and iOS 7

Thanks

On Android, the isServiceAvailable() interface returns string values "true" instead of boolean values true.

Hi there:
i just have a sample in IOS&ANDROID,
everythins is ok but in android

when use plugin.email.isServiceAvailable
it always get 'false' .

my android device is XIAOMI 2A (made in china ),MIUI rom.
