Syntax of 'Set' Functions

[former_member1090459]

Hi everyone. I have been trying to create a view using 'SET' functions, but no luck. The code below works.

var lco_View = new sap.ui.view(
{    id: "Tasks",
    viewName: "zbc_ui5_app01.Tasks",
    type: sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.JS
});
lco_MasterShell.addContent(lco_View);

What is the equivalent using 'Set' Functions:

var lco_View = new sap.ui.view("Tasks");
lco_View.setViewName("zbc_ui5_app01.Tasks");
lco_View.setType(sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.JS);
lco_MasterShell.addContent(lco_View);

When I use this code, it gives me an error that 'View type not defined'. How do I get the syntax for 'Set' functions, is there a general rule of thumb. I cannot get the details in the API as well. Or alternatively, can i use the 'setProperty' Function?

Thanks in advance guys.

PS: there is no API reference for node 'SAP.UI.VIEW', is this an alias for another class?

Hi Jibran,

Here I've a working example:

Think you have to switch the id and the name as in my example. Also used sap.ui.jsview instead of sap.ui.view.

Kind regards,

Unbelievable! After breaking my head for hours! Thanks mate.

Hi Jibran,

Use new sap.ui.core.mvc.View to define the constructor for the view and then you can use set functions. More info - SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit

Hope this helps

Hi,

That's because you have to define a viewType when you create a view.

As you said, you cannot find the details in the API, so maybe it's not meant to be created like that

Why don't you simply create a sap.ui.core.mvc.JSview? SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit

Kind regards,

Thanks for your reply. I had a feeling that it was a mandatory parameter for the constructor. I have also tried creating "sap.ui.core.mvc.JSview" but I get an "Unable to get property 'viewData' of undefined or null reference" error. And "sap.ui.jsview" also doesn't work.

var lco_View = new sap.ui.core.mvc.JSView("Tasks");
lco_View.setViewName("zbc_ui5_app01.Tasks");
lco_MasterShell.addContent(lco_View);

Any working example of either "sap.ui.jsview" or "sap.ui.core.mvc.jsview"?

Thanks

Yes I'm trying the same syntax, but it still doesn't seem to work. I keep getting 'failed to load 'Tasks.view.js' from resources/Tasks.view.js: 404 - Not Found' or the other error mentioned above. I have attached both the variants.

This doesn't work.

var lco_View = new sap.ui.jsview("Tasks");
lco_View.setViewName("zbc_ui5_app01.Tasks");
lco_MasterShell.addContent(lco_View);

While this works as mentioned before.

var lco_View = new sap.ui.view(
{    id: "Tasks",
     viewName: "zbc_ui5_app01.Tasks",
     type: sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.JS
});
lco_MasterShell.addContent(lco_View);

Although, I have been using the alternative syntax in most of my code, I have been updating my code to use the 'SET' functions. Doing so, I started running into these problems!

Thanks again.
