Hi guys,
I’m trying to develop my first native iPad App. I have got the main part of the application working quite well as a WebApp, but the final stage is to send a single page typewriter formatted report by email. My automatic approach is to dump the report into a Notepad style text file and then send this as an attachment to the intended recipients. However, I am fairly certain that this is NOT the way to go on an iPad!
My problem is simple — how the devil do I perform this ‘simple’ task in the MobiOne environment targetted at a native iPad application?
Hi Stu,
The mobione visual designer provides a SendMail action but it only accepts text input, not attachments. It also uses the device’s email client to send the msg. If you need the msg to be sent without the user seeing the msg and being required to hit “send” then you should consider implementing a web service that your app can transmit the message to. Then have the web service send the msg as email.
Thanks for the rapid response, Octavio.
No there are no secrets in the report – the App records and scores a session of pseudo duplicate bridge and the report is a ‘hard copy’ of the session results. So no problem with visibility and indeed I want the user to click a ‘send button’, but as far as I can see at the moment there does not seem to be a way of addressing the typewriter formatting problem. Also the M1 email a form system appears to have no way of dynamically establishing the recipient list.
I have tried to find more info in these fora and the various tutorials, but all my previous experience is Windows based and I’m new to the html/javascript environment so I really am unsure where to start.
