SAP UI5 : Unable to bind a controller variable in xml - sapui5

Button on click of which the variable is getting changed:
<f:content>
<Button icon="sap-icon://edit" press="editClick" type="Transparent"></Button>
</f:content>
xml code where i need 2-way binding:
<VBox class="sapUiSmallMargin">
<form:SimpleForm id="SimpleFormDisplayColumn_oneGroup">
<form:content>
<Label text="{i18n>contextofusage}"/>
<Text text="{contextofusagetext}" visible="{!isInfoEditable}"/>
<Input type="Text" visible="{isInfoEditable}" value="{contextofusagetext}"></Input>
</form:content>
</form:SimpleForm>
</VBox>
controller:
var isInfoEditable=false;
return Controller.extend("abc.controller.Detail", {
editInfoClick: function(event){
if(isInfoEditable){
isInfoEditable=false;
}
else{
isInfoEditable=true;
}
}
});

It seems like you have tried nothing, but I will try to guide you:
You cannot simply declare a variable in your controller and then use it in your view. That's not how UI5 works. Instead create a model and bind it to your view. I also give my models a name, in this case "view":
onInit: function() {
var oViewModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel({
isInfoEditable: false
});
this.getView().setModel(oViewModel, "view");
}
Then use it in your view. Make sure that you use the name of your model ("view") in your bindings. If you want to do more than simply use the raw value (e.g. negate it) you have to use expression binding. Also you have to use an absolute path starting with /:
<form:SimpleForm id="SimpleFormDisplayColumn_oneGroup">
<form:content>
<Label text="{i18n>contextofusage}"/>
<Text text="{contextofusagetext}" visible="{= !${view>/isInfoEditable} }"/>
<Input type="Text" visible="{view>/isInfoEditable}" value="{contextofusagetext}"></Input>
</form:content>
</form:SimpleForm>
When you click on the button you have to modify/toggle the value in your model:
editClick: function (oEvent) {
var oViewModel = this.getView().getModel("view");
var bIsEditable = oViewModel.getProperty("/isInfoEditable");
// negate the current value and set it as the new value
oViewModel.setProperty("/isInfoEditable", !bIsEditable);
}
I suggest strongly reading on the basics of UI5. Your approach looks more like Vue.js, but UI5 has its own paradigms.

Input assisted doesn't show all suggestions

I have input field i need suggest items from odata model.
<Input
id="productInput"
type="Text"
placeholder="Enter Product ..."
showSuggestion="true"
showValueHelp="true"
valueHelpRequest="handleValueHelp"
suggestionItems="{/ProductCollection}" >
<suggestionItems>
<core:Item text="{Name}" />
</suggestionItems>
</Input>
the problem is there are missing items : not all items are displayed (you can check this link
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/sample/sap.m.sample.InputAssisted/preview
it is the same behaviour when you put a for example it shows some items in the search it shows more with a )
What you are trying to do is basically show all items that contains the value in the input. SAPUI5 has a convenient filter for this called sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.Contains.
The problem with the sap.m.Input is that it will only work one way, even if you manually set the Contains filter in the Suggest event, it will show suggestions that will start with the provided letter instead, just like sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.StartsWith filter operator. That's why it is showing you less suggestions.
Using the same products.json model in your question, we can do the following:
XML Input:
<Label text="Product" labelFor="productInput"/>
<Input
id="productInput"
type="Text"
placeholder="Enter Product ..."
showSuggestion="true"
showValueHelp="false"
suggest="handleSuggest"
suggestionItems="{productsModel>/ProductCollection}" >
<suggestionItems>
<core:Item text="{productsModel>Name}" />
</suggestionItems>
</Input>
Controller:
handleSuggest: function (oEvent) {
var aFilters = [];
var sTerm = oEvent.getParameter("suggestValue");
if (sTerm) {
aFilters.push(new sap.ui.model.Filter("Name", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.Contains, sTerm));
}
oEvent.getSource().getBinding("suggestionItems").filter(aFilters);
//do not filter the provided suggestions before showing them to the user - important
oEvent.getSource().setFilterSuggests(false);
}
It is very important to set the setFilterSuggests() method to false in order not to filter the provided suggestions before showing them to the user, this would go against we just did previously.
Using this approach, the suggested item will show only those values filtered by the specified filter condition which is sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.Contains.

How to add a Autofill filter in FilterBar

I'm trying to implement filters using SAPUI5 FilterBar. I want to add a field which works like a dropdown filter only when you type something in it. When you put the cursor, it should not show any results, but as you start typing something, the matching results should show up in the dropdown.
Here is a working example: Plunker
You could use a Input object in the filterGroupItems aggregation of the FilterBar control.
Note: The filterItems aggregation is deprecated as of version 1.48
<fb:FilterBar id="filterBar">
<fb:filterGroupItems>
<fb:FilterGroupItem
groupName="GroupExample"
name="regionGroup"
label="Example"
visibleInFilterBar="true">
<fb:control>
<Input showSuggestion="true">
<suggestionItems>
<core:Item key="001" text="Russia"/>
<core:Item key="002" text="America"/>
<core:Item key="003" text="Australia"/>
<core:Item key="004" text="Germany"/>
</suggestionItems>
</Input>
</fb:control>
</fb:FilterGroupItem>
</fb:filterGroupItems>
</fb:FilterBar>
Which produces:
Be sure to add the visibleInFilterBar="true" attribute if you want your input field to be visible without having to add it in the Filters prompt.
If you want to add the Input items dynamically, add an aggregation binding to the <items>.
To do that, change the Input control as follows:
<Input suggestionItems="{path: '/dropdownData'}" showSuggestion="true">
<suggestionItems>
<core:Item key="{key}" text="{text}"/>
</suggestionItems>
</Input>
And set the model according to your datasource (here it's a JSONModel) in the controller:
onInit: function() {
this.oModel = new JSONModel("/data.json");
var oView = this.getView();
oView.setModel(this.oModel);
}

Data Binding from TableSelectDialog to Form

I'm using TableSelectDialog to view some Carrier details. All I need is: If I select any item (row), then all the values from that row should get automatically populated to the form input fields.
In the attached image, if Carrier Name is selected from TableSelectDialog, then the remaining fields should be populated based on that value.
You can achieve the required functionality using the Binding context that you receive from the TableSelcect Dialog.
But for binding context to work properly, both form and the table select dialog should refer to the same Model.
Below is the working code:
VIEW.XML:
Has a Button to trigger the table select dialog.
Has a form.
<l:VerticalLayout class="sapUiContentPadding" width="100%">
<l:content>
<Button class="sapUiSmallMarginBottom" text="Show Table Select Dialog"
press="handleTableSelectDialogPress">
</Button>
<VBox class="sapUiSmallMargin">
<f:SimpleForm id="SimpleFormDisplay354">
<f:content>
<Label text="Supplier Name" />
<Text id="nameText" text="{SupplierName}" />
<Label text="Description" />
<Text text="{Description}" />
<Label text="ProductId" />
<Text text="{ProductId}" />
<Label text="Quantity" />
<Text id="countryText" text="{Quantity}" />
</f:content>
</f:SimpleForm>
</VBox>
</l:content>
</l:VerticalLayout>
Controller:
onInit: function () {
// set explored app's demo model on this sample
var oModel = new JSONModel(jQuery.sap.getModulePath("sap.ui.demo.mock", "/products.json"));
this.getView().setModel(oModel);
},
handleTableSelectDialogPress: function (oEvent) {
if (!this._oDialog) {
this._oDialog = sap.ui.xmlfragment("sap.m.sample.TableSelectDialog.Dialog", this);
}
this.getView().addDependent(this._oDialog);
// toggle compact style
this._oDialog.open();
},
handleClose: function (oEvent) {
var aContexts = oEvent.getParameter("selectedContexts");
if (aContexts && aContexts.length) {
// MessageToast.show("You have chosen " + aContexts.map(function(oContext) { return oContext.getObject().Name; }).join(", "));
this.byId('SimpleFormDisplay354').setBindingContext(aContexts[0]);
}
oEvent.getSource().getBinding("items").filter([]);
}
Now, we also have a Select dialog and on click of any Item we call method : handleClose
In handleClose, we obtain the clicked Item binding context and then tell the form : hey! refer to this context ( which is present in the model). Binding context has a path which tells the form from where to do the relative binding.

oData binding to Simple Form

I'm creating a read only form that will be used to display a summary of information. I need to send a parameter to the backend first before getting the information but I don't seem to see that parameter is reaching it.
It does reach the entity set but it does not show the parameter. Am I binding correctly?
This is on the controller:
onInit: function() {
var urlEnding = "1000012233";
var oFilterDist = new sap.ui.model.Filter("ID",
sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ, urlEnding);
var summaryText = this.getView().byId("summaryForm");
summaryText.bindElement({
path: "/SummaryScreenSet",
filters: [oFilterDist]
});
}
This is on the View
<VBox class="sapUiSmallMargin" fitContainer="true"
height="100%" width="100%" justifyContent="End"
displayInline="true" id="leftVBox" items="{/SummaryScreenSet}">
<items>
<f:SimpleForm editable="true" layout="ResponsiveGridLayout" id="summaryForm" columnsL="1" columnsXL="1" labelSpanL="5" title="Account Summary" labelSpanM="5">
<f:content>
<Label text="Status" id="__label6" design="Bold" class="sizeText"/>
<ObjectStatus text="{CONTRACT_STATUS}" id="__status6" state="Success" class="boldText"/>
<Label text="Permit Required" id="__label10" design="Bold" class="sizeText"/>
<Text text="{PERMIT_REQD}" id="__text32" wrapping="false" class="sizeText"/>
<Label text="Bill Date | Due Date" id="__label11" design="Bold" class="sizeText"/>
<Text text="{BILL_DATE} | {DUE_DATE}" id="__text33" wrapping="false" class="sizeText"/>
<Label text="Last Estimated Date | Next MR Date" id="__label17" design="Bold" class="sizeText"/>
<Text text="{LAST_PAYMENT_DATE} | {nextMRDate}" id="__text39" wrapping="false" class="sizeText"/>
</f:content>
</f:SimpleForm>
</items>
</VBox>
Going to assume you want a single, specific entry. In that case, what you're looking for is the Entity, not the EntitySet + filter. Coincidentally, here's one I wrote yesterday that works. I've changed the paths and ID's to reflect yours:
var form = this.getView().byId('summaryForm');
form.bindElement({
path: "/SummaryScreenSet('" + urlEnding + "')",
events: {
change: function() {
//triggers on error too I think
form.setBusy(false);
},
dataRequested: function() {
form.setBusy(true);
}
}
});
In that case you don't need the VBOX either, just the form. Don't forget to implement SUMMARYSCREEN_GET_ENTITY or whatever the method is on your DPC_EXT.
Edit: might want to set editable on the form to false, it shrinks the layout to suit text instead of inputs.

Display sum of bound numeric values in XML

I am using an OData model to bind UI controls with values. I need to sum two values from model values.
<Input id="__input8" class="rt1" value="{D1}" maxLength="1" type="Number" placeholder="" enabled="true" editable="true" />
<Input id="__input9" class="rt1" value="{D2}" maxLength="1" type="Number" placeholder="" enabled="true" editable="true" />
<Text id="__input15" class="rt1" text="{D1} + {D2}" />
I need to sum the D1 and D2 values in the Text control. I am using XML for view and JS for controller.
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(sServiceUrl, true);
var oJsonModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
oModel.read("/xxxSet?", null, null, true, function (oData,repsonse) {
oJsonModel.setData(oData);
});
this.getView().setModel(oModel);
This is my OData connection.
You can use an Expression Binding:
<Text id="__input15" class="rt1" text="{= ${D1} + ${D2}}" />
Nice, finally a post where i can help.
First, i would set a formatter. Since my root usually is sap.ui.app, and my formatter is inside a model folder and called formatter, i can call it like "sap.ui.app.model.formatter"
You can check whats the name of your root inside your index.
data-sap-ui-resourceroots='{"sap.ui.app": "./"}'>
Thats your root. Create a folder inside sap.ui.app named model, and inside the model create a file called formatter.js and inside the file write this code.
jQuery.sap.declare("sap.ui.app.model.formatter");
sap.ui.app.model.formatter =
{
function1: (a, b)
{
return a+b;
}
};
Next, you should call the formatter from your view.
<Text id="__input15" class="rt1" text="{parts:[{path : 'D1'}, {path : 'D2'}], formatter:'sap.ui.app.model.formatter.function1'}" />
Thats it. It should work now.
EDIT: I'm glad my answer helped.
