Bug: Email Composer will not open

[ozziexsh]

Tested on Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.1

Followed the exact steps from the ngcordova docs:

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

And then in a controller

.controller('TestCtrl', function($cordovaEmailComposer) {
  var vm = this;

  vm.open = function() {
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
      $cordovaEmailComposer.isAvailable().then(function() {
      var email = {
            to: '',
                cc: '',
            bcc: [],
            attachments: [],
            subject: 'Spray Record Data',
            body: 'Data collected from the Spray Record app'
          };

         $cordovaEmailComposer.open(email).then(null, function () {
           alert('Email cancelled');
         });
        }, function () {
            alert('You do not have an email client set up.');
        });
    }, false);
  }
});

And a button in the html that triggers that function. All that gets called is 'You do not have an email set up'.

If I take out the $cordovaEmailComposer.isAvailable() it still doesn't work.

Not too sure what's going on here.

Seems to be an issue wit the new plugin version (0.8.3).
I fixed it by reverting to 0.8.2. (Edit: At least on Android)
cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer.git#0.8.2

[ozziexsh]

Yup that did the trick. Thanks @viktorlorentz.

Not going to close as it's obviously still an issue with the current release, unless this should be posted to the repo of the plugin instead of ng-cordova.

+1 Thank you. meet the exactly same problem. In android, 0.8.3 didn't worked but 0.8.2 works fine.

Probably a silly question but...

I've just removed version 0.8.3, how do I get the previous 0.8.2?

I tried:
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-email-composer@0.8.2
and got:

Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-email-composer@0.8.2" via npm
Error: Failed to fetch plugin cordova-plugin-email-composer@0.8.2 via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: version not found: cordova-plugin-email-composer@0.8.2

Try the full URL to see how's go.
cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer.git#0.8.2

@linkchiu Thanks, worked perfectly.

However, this has not solved the issue for me.

I've copied @Nehero 's code, with a simple ng-click on a button firing his code.
The function fires but nothing happens on my device.

I have 0.8.2 version of the plugin. I'm on Android 6.0 on MotoG V3 phone

I don't know where the issue could lie, any ideas?

[ozziexsh]

@bennettstuart Have you properly included ng-cordova? Try making sure the plugin is fully deleted, then reinstall. Also try deleting your whole android build and rebuilding.

[bennettstuart]

I started a fresh project, and reinstalled the things you suggested @Nehero.
Everything is working fine now. Thanks for your help!

Any update on the topic?
Still not working with 0.8.3

Thanks!

Latest plugin version has been published on NPM (0.8.7). Works as expected. 👍
