+1 NATIVE EMAIL Support

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

hi,

i guess one of the BASICS should be for sure that a native email support is included.

In my native android/iphone apps are features where the user can share content
by email or send a password recovery to himself.

Now i can’t expect that my users include his SMTP/Username/password etc just to support email.

I can imagine a:

native.email (“receiveremail1, mail2, mail3”, “senderemail”, “subject”, “body”,directsend)

where directsend could be TRUE to send without further confirmation
and FALSE so the native email app pops up and the user could do small changes before he finally send the email.

and receiveremail could be Comma Separated so multiple Receivers could be assigned.

Any Ideas when this could be available?

thx
chris

Hi,

you can play with
[lua]system.openURL(“mailto:you@here.com?subject=yoursubject&body=theMessage”)[/lua]
that should fire up the native mail app…

thanks i did already.

but that does have several probs

  1. for a ‘send password to email’ … the user would see the email
  2. long text, attachments etc are not possible to pass by body=
    you would also need to encode all text before. (not each character is possible in a url)
    that also does not allow Emoji Codes, Arabic Letters, Chinese etc …

Thanks danny thats great!

The main thing im looking for with native email support is the ability to add multiple lines of text into the body of the email, along with if possible, an image attached that was just taken from within the app.

But if attachments arent possible right now, just entering a chunk of informaiton into the body of an email would be great :smiley:

@jammydodger300
yeah +1 … it would be so useful to send emails in the background (and not just by OpenURL(Mailto))

In my actual app i could need that already twice. Once to send password recovery messages and other to send mails with native letters (emoji, arabic …)

Glad to see more ppl request that feature, so i guess once we will get it :slight_smile:
