I want to take a screenshot of one of my view controller and load it into an email. The problem I am having is that I can take a screenshot of the current view controller but I wish to take the short of a separate view controller.
- (IBAction)showEmail:(id)sender
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage * image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSData *example = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);
// Email Subject
NSString *emailTitle = @"Test";
// Email Content
NSString *messageBody = @"Attached below is the snapshot of the view controller";
// To address
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"testemail@hotmail.co.uk"];
// UIImage *UIImageToSend;
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
[mc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
// NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(UIImageToSend,1);
//UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"example.png"];
//NSData *mageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage);
[mc addAttachmentData:example mimeType:@"image/png" fileName:@"example.png"];
// Present mail view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(@"Mail cancelled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(@"Mail saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(@"Mail sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(@"Mail sent failure: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
break;
default:
break;
}
// Close the Mail Interface
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
I have tried changing the self in
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
to the other view controller class name but xcode then gives me an error that says
property of 'view' not found on object of type 'otherViewController'
