Using template views in SAPUI5? - sapui5

I have some XML view files. They have some common parts. For example customHeaderContent in the following piece of code repeated in many other pages. Is possible somehow transfer these parts to a template file and them from there. I know fragment view files. But I don't know how to aggregate common parts in XML files and attach them to different views.
<mvc:View xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:semantic="sap.m.semantic" xmlns:footerbar="sap.ushell.ui.footerbar" controllerName="xyz.controller.Worklist" afterRendering="onInit">
<semantic:FullscreenPage id="page" navButtonPress="onNavBack" showNavButton="true" title="{i18n>worklistViewTitle}">
<semantic:content>
.....
</semantic:content>
<semantic:customHeaderContent>
<Button icon="images/de.svg" width="auto" id="__button_lang" tooltip="{i18n>lang_de}" press="onChangeLangBtnPress"/>
</semantic:customHeaderContent>
</semantic:FullscreenPage>

The link provided by the OP may be erased in the future so here is the gist of the answer there.
Refer to your fragment XML views using the Fragment declaration of sap.ui.core, as example below where the 'my.useful.SimpleUiPart' view is being used:
<mvc:View xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns:commons="sap.ui.commons" controllerName="testdata.fragments.XMLViewController" >
<commons:HorizontalDivider />
<core:Fragment fragmentName="my.useful.SimpleUiPart" type="XML" />
<core:Fragment id="xmlInXml" fragmentName="my.useful.SimpleUiPart" type="XML" />
<commons:HorizontalDivider />
</mvc:View>

Show SAPUI5 View two times simultaneous

I build a sapui5 application which shows information related to a SAP plant. Now I need to show the same view two times on the same page but with information of two different plants. Imagine like two iFrames. The App should be able to run with only one view (like now), also it should be able to show data several times on the same page.
To solve this, I build an additional view (splitview) which contains a componentcontainer to load the "real" view (main view). This ends up in a continuous loop.
This is how I tried to build splitview
<mvc:View xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:l="sap.ui.layout"
controllerName="zqinsplotlist.zqinsplotlist.controller.splitview" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<App>
<pages>
<Page title="Title">
<content>
<l:HorizontalLayout class="sapUiContentPadding">
<ComponentContainer xmlns="sap.ui.core" name="zqinsplotlist.zqinsplotlist"
settings='\{ "componentData" : \{ "startupParameters" : \{"Werks" : ["1001"], "Zfcod" : ["PLOS"], "Herkunft" : ["03"] \} \}\}'/>
<Text text="Hello Split"/>
</l:HorizontalLayout>
</content>
</Page>
</pages>
</App>
</mvc:View>
I expected that this will load my Main view once. But it gets called in a loop over and over again.
Why don't you try sth. like this:
<mvc:View
xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
xmlns="sap.m"
xmlns:l="sap.ui.layout"
controllerName="zqinsplotlist.zqinsplotlist.controller.splitview"
xmlns:data="http://schemas.sap.com/sapui5/extension/sap.ui.core.CustomData/1"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<App>
<l:HorizontalLayout class="sapUiContentPadding">
<mvc:XMLView
viewName="zqinsplotlist.zqinsplotlist.view.MyView"
data:some="data to distinguish the views"
data:instance="1"
/>
<mvc:XMLView
viewName="zqinsplotlist.zqinsplotlist.view.MyView"
data:some="other data to distinguish this view from the above"
/>
</l:HorizontalLayout>
</App>
</mvc:View>
In the controller of MyView distinguish the two view instances by sth. like this:
if (this.getView().data('instance') === 1) {
// do stuff
}
That should work but I haven't tested. Not a 100% sure that custom data works on views instanciated from XML. Well, it should...

UI5 - VBox is not valid for aggregation footer of ObjectPageLayout

I have an application with a footer which is same for all pages. Until now, I used separate view for this which I attached to the bottoms of the pages. However, now I created two fragments for item details page (Display/Add modes), using the ObjectPageLayout and want to add my footer into both of those. As I understand, I should use fragment instead of View so I rewrote my footer view into fragment so it looks like this:
<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns="sap.m"
xmlns:f="sap.f"
xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
>
<VBox>
<Text text=""/>
<Text text=""/>
<f:Card class="sapUiTinyMargin" height="100px" width="1144px">
<f:content>
<VBox width="100%" alignItems="Center">
<Text text=""/>
<HBox>
<Label text="{i18n>needHelp}" />
<ToolbarSpacer width="20px" />
<Link text="{i18n>contactUs}" href="mailto:xxx.xxx#xxx.com"/>
</HBox>
</VBox>
</f:content>
</f:Card>
</VBox>
</core:FragmentDefinition>
And then I put this fragment into the footer of the ObjectPageLayout, like this
<footer>
<core:Fragment fragmentName="xxx.portal.view.Footer" type="XML"/>
</footer>
However, when I try to load the page, I get the error "Assertion failed: "Element sap.m.VBox#__vbox1" is not valid for aggregation "footer" of Element sap.uxap.ObjectPageLayout#nav---connection--ObjectPageLayout"
Any idea why is it showing up and what I am doing wrong? I would also like to note that if I use some simpler elements in the footer (such as Toolbar), there is no error and it gets displayed correctly.
Thank you

In SAPUI5, how use sap.m.Image with UseMap and get the clicked location?

I'm writing here after a couple of hours of reading everything available on-line, including SAPUI5 Explored Apps, API, etcs.
I need to use Image with Maps to define and capture different clickable areas in an image.
SAPUI5 explored says there is an UseMap parameter, but don't provide enough info or example. I've tried and can't map and get the clicked location.
The API offers sap.m.ImageHelper, with one parameter to use maps. But it also lacks example or enough documentation.
Finally, I'm aware that there's some examples on-line using sap.ui.commons. But I couldn't find any example using sap.m
Anyone has a real working example of this?
Thank you!
Regards,
Douglas
The sap.m.Image useMap property simply adds a useMap property to the element. However you need to define a map element with the same name as in the useMap property along with the regions.
You could use the HTML control from the sap.ui.core library to add a HTML map element to the page.
<Image src="img/someImage.jpg"
width="200px"
useMap="regions"
>
</Image>
<core:HTML content='<map name="regions">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="link1.html" alt="Link 1">
<area shape="rect" coords="90,90, 158,103" href="link2.htm" alt="Link 2">
</map>'>
</core:HTML>
You don't necessarily have to revert to a stringified version of your map coding.
Here's how you can provide a map as the useMap parameter for a sap.m.image by referencing the html namespace (Note the declaration xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" at the top):
<mvc:View controllerName="xy.controller.Master" xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" displayBlock="true" >
<App>
<pages>
<Page title="{i18n>title}">
<content>
<Image src="img/Blume.PNG" densityAware="false" width="" useMap="Map">
<layoutData>
<FlexItemData growFactor="1"/>
</layoutData>
</Image>
<html:map name="Map" id="Map">
<html:area alt="" title="" href="www.google.de" shape="poly" coords="384,505,444,507,444,528,390,527"/>
<html:area alt="" title="" href="www.google.de" shape="poly" coords="426,582,494,583,494,636,426,632"/>
</html:map>
</content>
</Page>
</pages>
</App>
</mvc:View>

Insert table in XML-view

I created a table in my controller-function onRoutePatternMatched.
Now I want to bring this table to the view.
This should be done with oTable.placeAt("sample1");
What is the right code to insert it on a specific place in my xml-view?
Home.view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<mvc:View controllerName="ztest.controller.VarConf" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns="sap.m"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<Page>
<content id="sample1"></content>
<content id="sample2">
<Label text="{varConfDet>/chassisnr}" />
</content>
</Page>
</mvc:View>
Error:
sap-ui-core.js:152 Uncaught Error: DOM element with ID 'sample1' not found in page, but application tries to insert content.
put an id on on the page and not on its content aggregation(s): <Page id="myPge">
in Controller call this.getView().byId("myPage").addContent(oTable);
Because content os the default aggregation of the sap.m.Page you could also only call this.getView().byId("myPage").add(oTable);. Also be aware that you might to remove previously added content... Of course, you could also use different panels etc. with different ids and place the table somewhere in there...

What is the <l:content> tag meaning?

What is the meaning of the <l:content> tag in SAPUI5? I know it is about content, but the references to this tag in the documentation are not making sense to me. Can someone give me use cases for this tag? It is used only on the <l:Grid> control?
Thanks in advance!
The Grid is the sap.ui.layout.Grid .
As you can see that Grid has an aggregation called content. The Tag <l:content> is placed there to show the interpreter, which aggregation you fill.
That is not the problem in the sap.ui.layout.Grid, since it has only one aggregation, but ...
... imagine you want to use a sap.ui.layout.form.SimpleForm.
The SimpleForm has the aggregations titleand content. So to define a title you have to write the tag <title> (with the correct prefix, in this case it would be eg. <f:title> with xmlns:f="sap.ui.layout.forms")
<mvc:View xmlns:f="sap.ui.layout.form" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc">
<f:SimpleForm>
<f:title>some random title</f:title>
<f:content>
<!-- any sap.ui.core.Control you like -->
</f:content>
</f:SimpleForm>
</mvc:View>
And another thing: The aggregation, that is marked with "(default aggregation)" (in the case with the Grid it is content) you do not have to add the tag.
<mvc:View xmlns:f="sap.ui.layout.form" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc">
<f:SimpleForm>
<f:title>some random title</f:title>
<!-- any sap.ui.core.Control you like, is is recognized as content -->
</f:SimpleForm>
</mvc:View>
