Abstract: Shortly before his death, Ramanujan wrote about his discovery of mock theta functions, functions with interesting analytic properties. Recently, Zweger showed that mock theta functions could be ``completed'' to satisfy the transformation properties of a weight

real analytic vector-valued modular form. Using Maass-Poincaré series, Bringmann and Ono proved the Andrews-Dragonette conjecture, establishing an exact formula for the coefficients of Ramanujan's mock theta function

. In this paper we study vector-valued Maass-Poincaré series of all weights, and give their Fourier expansions.
