Hiding UI element from fragment.xml in standard App - sapui5

I want to hide few UI elements from My Travel and Expense (Standard App). I have tried in different approaches but I am not able to achieve what i want. Here is my requirement:
In My Travel and Expense App (TRV_TE_CRE), I want to hide the following UI elements:
GenericClaim.fragment.xml - Button id="costAssignmentButton"
I have added the extension project for TRV_TE_CRE and tried as below:
In component.js I added the following statement to hide
customizing:
{
"sap.ui.viewModifications": {
"mytravelandexpense.view.GenericClaim": {
"costAssignmentButton": {
"visible": false
},
},
},
Result: not working
Extended the GenericClaim.controller.js:
I added the below code in hookmethod
this.byFragmentId("costAssignmentButton").setVisible(false);
Result : whole claim page is not loading
By using access key I have commented the UI code in GenericClaim.fragment.xml
Result : not getting hide

Instead of the fragment ID, you can access the element ID from the view. Add this method in your view controller.
onAfterRendering : function(){
var buttonToHide = this.getView().byId("costAssignmentButton");
buttonToHide.setVisible(false);
},

How to access control from the popup fragment by ID

I want my text area to be empty after I press OK button.
I have try this line this.byId("id").setValue("")
onWorkInProgress: function (oEvent) {
if (!this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog) {
this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog = sap.ui.xmlfragment("WIPworklist", "com.sap.FinalAssestments.view.WorkInProgress", this);
//this.byId("WIP").value = "";
//this.byId("WIP").setValue();
this.getView().addDependent(this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog);
}
var bindingPath = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext().getPath();
this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog.bindElement(bindingPath);
this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog.open();
},
//function when cancel button inside the fragments is triggered
onCancelApproval: function() {
this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog.close();
},
//function when approval button inside the fragments is triggered
onWIPApproval: function() {
this._oOnWorkInProgressDialog.close();
var message = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("wipSuccess");
MessageToast.show(message);
},
The text area will be in popup in the fragment. I am expecting the text area to be empty.
If you instantiate your fragment like this:
sap.ui.xmlfragment("WIPworklist", "com.sap.FinalAssestments.view.WorkInProgress", this);
You can access its controls like this:
Fragment.byId("WIPworklist", "WIP").setValue(""); // Fragment required from "sap/ui/core/Fragment"
Source: How to Access Elements from XML Fragment by ID
The better approach would be to use a view model. The model should have a property textAreaValue or something like that.
Then bind that property to your TextArea (<TextArea value="{view>/textAreaValue}" />). If you change the value using code (e.g. this.getView().getModel("view").setProperty("/textAreaValue", "")), it will automatically show the new value in your popup.
And it works both ways: if a user changes the text, it will be automatically updated in the view model, so you can access the new value using this.getView().getModel("view").getProperty("/textAreaValue");.
You almost have it, I think. Just put the
this.byId("WIP").setValue("") line after the if() block. Since you are adding the fragment as a dependent of your view, this.byId("WIP") will find the control with id "WIP" every time you open the WIP fragment and set its value to blank.
You are likely not achieving it now because A. it is not yet a dependent of your view and B. it is only getting fired on the first go-around.

SAPUI5 using Popover as a tooltip

I'm trying to use the sap.m.Popover as a "rich tooltip" for some controls. This is as per recommendation from SAP because the sap.ui.commons library is now deprecated. We have too much text we want to add to the standard string tooltip. I haven't figured out a way to use the popover directly as a tooltip, which is why I've extended the TooltipBase control to handle the popover.
I've got the popover working fine, However when I interact with my control, I get the following error:
Uncaught Error: failed to load 'myNewToolTip/controls/TooltipBaseRenderer.js' from ../controls/TooltipBaseRenderer.js: 404 - Not Found
I see from these threads that it is because the TooltipBase class is an abstract class and therefore doesn't have a renderer. However, because I'm already using the popover, I don't need to render anything. I've tried to add the TooltipBaseRenderer.js and just have an empty render class. But UI5 really doesn't like that either.
My question is what should I do, I see two options:
There is probably a simple way to use the popover as a tooltip, which I'm just too stupid to figure out (Bear in mind, I'd prefer to bind it directly in the XML view).
Figure out a way to suppress the renderer call as I don't need it.
This is my current source code for the custom control:
sap.ui.define([
"sap/m/Popover"
], function (Popover) {
"use strict";
return sap.ui.core.TooltipBase.extend("myNewToolTip.TooltipBase", {
metadata: {
properties: {
title : {}
},
events: {
"onmouseover" : {},
"onmouseout" : {}
}
},
oView: null,
setView: function(view) {
this.oView = view;
},
onmouseover : function(oEvent) {
var that = this;
if (!this.delayedCall){
this.delayedCall = setTimeout(function() {
if (!that.oPopover){
that._createQuickView();
}
}, 500);
}
},
onmouseout: function(oEvent) {
if (this.oPopover){
this.closePopover();
this.delayedCall = undefined;
}
else{
clearTimeout(this.delayedCall);
this.delayedCall = undefined;
}
},
_createQuickView: function() {
var sTitle = this.getTitle();
this.oPopover = new Popover({
title: sTitle
});
this.oPopover.openBy(this.getParent());
},
closePopover: function(){
this.oPopover.close();
this.oPopover = undefined;
}
});
});
There is no need to create a custom control just to display a popover on mouseover. As you said, there is a simpler way: Adding event delegates.
One of the events that delegates can listen to is onmouseover which can be achieved like this:
this.byId("myTargetControl").addEventDelegate({
onmouseover: function () {
// Open popover here
}
});

Extending sap.ui.core.TooltipBase
If you still consider extending TooltipBase (without Popover), take a look at this example: https://embed.plnkr.co/33zFqa?show=control/MyCustomTooltip.js,preview
Keep in mind, though, that tooltips in general shouldn't contain critical information due to its lack of discoverability as Fiori Design Guideline mentions
Tooltips (...) should never contain critical information. They should also not contain redundant information.
Just as a friendly reminder :) Don't make people hover to find things.

Initializing input data

Where, and how do I clear out the input date on a view....
E.g. when the data is saved, and I access my page from the menu, the old data is still displayed in the input boxes.
I've tried the onInit() function but that only fires the first time into the view.
The navto call is in the BaseController which calls the defaultTimes page (view/controller).
onNavToDefaultTimes : function(oEvent) {
this.getRouter().navTo("defaultTimes");
}
My clear code was in the _onRouteMatched function of detaultTimes.....
_onRouteMatched : function(oEvent) {
var view = this.getView();
view.byId("shopInput").setValue("");
view.byId("effectiveDateFrom").setValue("");
view.byId("shop24Hrs").setSelected(false);
view.byId("shopClosed").setSelected(false);
},
The problem is though, _onRouteMatched is also callled from navBack of the page following default times. And I don't want to clear the fields in this case.
How do I implement the clear from the onNavToDefaultTimes function of the base Controller only?
Can you give an example.
Let's say the name of the view in which your input field is created is test.js, then whenever you are navigating to the view or navigating from the view, you can use invalidate view like below
sap.ui.getCore().byId("test").invalidate();
this makes the view to be rendered again when you are coming back to the view and onBeforeRendering() is triggered
You can choose one of the following options, and put one of them, after the code to save is executed:
Option 1:
var yourInput = this.getView().byId("yourInputID");
yourInput.setValue("");
Options 2 (Try someone):
var yourInput = this.getView().byId("yourInputID");
yourInput.unbindValue();
yourInput.unbindElement();
yourInput.unbindObject();
Or put the code in the following method, which is executed every time the view is displayed:
onAfterRendering: function(){
//Option choosed
}

Modify Master View of Fiori Purchase Requisition APp

I am trying to modify the master view (S2.view.xml) of the Fiori Purchase Req Approval App. I need to add a footer to this view. I tried adding footer to the S2 view XML but it didnt work. So looked like the S2 controller, getHeaderFooter() needs modification. My questions
1) Is this a standard method? Why is it added to the controller
2) If I have to add footer, how do I add it to the Master view???
3) How do I suppress the method in case required?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you
1) Is this a standard method? Why is it added to the controller
You are supposed to override getHeaderFooterOptions in your controller.
2) If I have to add footer, how do I add it to the Master view???
The following code sample is to add two Buttons Test1 and Test2 to footer.
getHeaderFooterOptions : function() {
var oOptions = {
buttonList: [{
sI18nBtnTxt: "Test1",
onBtnPressed: function() {
}
}, {
sI18nBtnTxt: "Test2",
onBtnPressed: function(oEvent) {
}
}]
};
return oOptions;
},
For details about overriding getHeaderFooterOptions, see the documentation.
3) How do I suppress the method in case required?
You can't suppress the method.

closethick button disappear liferay popup 6.2

I am migrating the AUI popup dialog window from liferay 6.1 to liferay 6.2. I see that there are some specific changes to be made. I had some problems with display of buttons but it is resolved now. But the problem is with the close icon (x) which should be on the top right corner. It disappeared suddenly as soon as I added a save button.
Here is my code:
myPopup = AUI().use('aui-base','liferay-util-window','aui-io-deprecated', 'event', 'event-custom', function(A) {
var buttons =[{
cssClass: 'button_close',
label: 'Save',
render:true,
id: 'myPopupButton',
on: {
click: function() {
myPopupSubmit();
}}
}];
myPopup = Liferay.Util.Window.getWindow(
{
dialog: {
title : a + ' mytitle',
centered : true,
height : 600,
width : 500,
draggable : true,
resizable : true,
modal : true,
toolbars: {
footer:buttons
},
}}).plug(A.Plugin.IO, {
uri : url
}).render();
myPopup.show();
});
}
Please let me know if you have any idea on it..
on myPopupSubmit I have also written code to close the popup as:
top.document.getElementById('closethick').click();
Since there is no closethick button it returns null.
Using the modal dialog example as a comparison, the X close button is removed when using the toolbars property.
Reviewing the source code for the toolbars property (line 309 at time of writing this) indicates that if you use this property directly, you'll need to include your own X close in the header.
An alternative would be to use the addToolbar function (as seen in the example) to include your buttons while preserving the default toolbars.
modal.addToolbar([{
cssClass: 'button_close',
label: 'Save',
render:true,
id: 'myPopupButton',
on: {
click: function() {
myPopupSubmit();
}
}
}]);
I would also consider making the instance of the dialog available to your myPopupSubmit function so that you would have direct access to perform dialog.hide() or calling dialog.hide() after myPopupSubmit versus using the X close approach.
If sticking with the current approach, the id being used will not work, you'll need to use a CSS selector as the YUI based id will change.
