How to bind a form in SAPUI5? - sapui5

Question

I was trying to figure out how to bind a simple form in UI5 (not a list) so I can submit to my oData backend . How do I do that with a simple form?
Here is my controller code (if I were to do in a List) - But I have no clue how to deal with a Form:
var oList = this.byId("addapp"),
oBinding = oList.getBinding("items"),
// Create a new entry through the table's list binding
oContext = oBinding.create({
"application_id": 0,
"product_name_short": 'Test',
});
This is what I have tried so far, but I got undefined value:
var x =this.getView().byId("addapp").getBinding("items");

If you have set a model to your view, you can bind an existing object to a view using Element.bindElement:
this.getView().byId("addapp").bindElement("/path/to/your/object");
If you want to use a temporary model (to use the data once you click "add" or something similar):
onInit: function () {
// Initial values of the form
this.getView().setModel(new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel({
property1: "",
property2: "",
property3: ""
}), "newEntry");
// Bind the form to the json model
this.getView().byId("addapp").bindElement("newEntry>/");
},
onAddButtonClick: function() {
// Get the form values
var newEntry = this.getView().getModel("newEntry").getData();
// Use the OData model to create a new entity
var oDataModel = ...;
oDataModel.create("/path/to/your/entityset", newEntry, {
success: function() {
// entity was created
}
});
}
