Adding an image in Navigation bar in iOS5

Add the code just above the @implementation of rootview controller

@implementation UINavigationBar (CustomImage)
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Header.png"];
    [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height)];

@end

@implementation RootViewController


//Paste the following code wherever you rerequire.

Adding "To Field" in ShareKit Email(Pre Setup)

In the button press.

NSString *someText = @"This is a blurb of text I highlighted from a document.";
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem text:someText];

[item setCustomValue:@"your@recipient.com" forKey:@"toField"];
// Share the item
[SHKMail shareItem:item];

The add these lines in SHKMail.m in the method sendMail:



[mailController setSubject:item.title];
[mailController setMessageBody:body isHTML:YES];

// **start of added code
NSString *recipient = [item customValueForKey:@"toField"];
NSLog(@"recipient: %@", recipient);
if (recipient != nil) {
    NSArray *recipients = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:recipient, nil];
    [mailController setToRecipients:recipients];
    [recipient release];
    [recipients release];
}
// **end of added code

[[SHK currentHelper] showViewController:mailController];

Email /Facebook /twitter only By Share-kit with a button press.

First import   #import "SHKMail.h" in the view Controller.

-(IBAction)Emailbutton:(id)sender{

    

    SHKItem *item;

     [SHK setRootViewController:self];

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"sadiq"];

   item = [SHKItem URL:url title:@"Contact"];

     [SHK setRootViewController:self];

  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/"];

item = [SHKItem URL:url title:@"Google"];
