Wrong attachment path

[oabad]

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.

I think the issue is the path. Its a path on your Mac and not of your Phone.
If you use the cordova camera plugin it will tell you an image URI. And as far as I think you have to cut of the "file://localhost/" at the beginning.

Hi, katzer and thanks for your response.

The path "file:///var/mobile/Applications/......../tmp/cdv_photo_001.jpg" is the URI path of my iphone.

I tried to cut path like "var/mobile...........jpg" but doesn't work.

I don't know what path pass to plugin.

Do you have any example of this?

Thanks and regards.

Servus,

you have to use the absolute path. For example

"/Users/sebastian/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0.3/Applications/E7981856-801F-4355-8687-EAACDF8B2A54/HelloCordova.app/../Documents/image.jpg"

But thats not very handy. I want to change that with the next release.

For iOS you can replace the method setAttachments: with the following code:

- (void) setAttachments:(NSArray*)attatchments ofDraft:(MFMailComposeViewController*)draft
{
    if (attatchments)
    {
        NSString* bundlePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingString:@"/"];

        for (NSString* path in attatchments)
        {
            NSString* fullPath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingString:path];
            NSData* data       = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsAtPath:fullPath];

            NSString* pathExt  = [path pathExtension];
            NSString* fileName = [path pathComponents].lastObject;
            NSString* mimeType = [self getMimeTypeFromFileExtension:pathExt];

            [draft addAttachmentData:data mimeType:mimeType fileName:fileName];
        }
    }
}

Then you can specify your attachments with an relative path.

attachments: ['../tmp/cdv_photo_001.jpg']
