Implementing a tile layout with a component
I am trying to create a tile based layout using a component in openui5. I am basing my code on the TileContainer example on the ui5 site I visited
Edit: The component works, but the TileContainer / StandardTile code won't show. If I create a view directly from Index.html, ignoring the component, the tiles are displayed. If I use a Page control to wrap them in a view it doesn't work. However, the List control displays with a component, but not if I also use a Page control to wrap the list.
Page controls and tiles are not compatible?
I replaced my code with my current version, it should be better to help others as it now more directly focuses on the problem of using a component with a Tile view instead of the simpler errors I had before now being resolved.
Edit: The issue was solved by using the control in XML view. The tiles are now displayed correctly.
My index.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;charset=UTF-8'/>
<script src="../resources/sap-ui-core.js"
id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
data-sap-ui-libs="sap.m"
data-sap-ui-theme="sap_bluecrystal"
data-sap-ui-xx-bindingSyntax="complex">
</script>
<style >
body, html, #content {
height:100%;
}
</style>
<script>
sap.ui.localResources("my_info");
sap.ui.localResources("view");
sap.ui.localResources("component");
sap.ui.localResources("data");
var oCompCont1 = new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer("CompCont1", {
name: "component"
});
oCompCont1.placeAt("content");
</script>
</head>
<body class="sapUiBody" role="application">
<div id="content"></div>
</body>
</html>
My Component.js:
jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.core.UIComponent");
jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType");
jQuery.sap.require("sap.m.Page");
jQuery.sap.declare("component.Component");
sap.ui.core.UIComponent.extend("component.Component", {
metadata: {
properties: {
text: "string"
}
}
});
component.Component.prototype.createContent = function(){
this.oView = sap.ui.xmlview({id:"view1", viewName:"view.Home"});
return this.oView;
};
My Component.json:
{
"name": "component.Component",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "Tiles Component"
}
My Home.view.xml:
<mvc:View
height="100%"
controllerName="view.Home"
xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
xmlns="sap.m">
//ensure you use the App control, this fixed the problem for me.
<App>
<Page
showHeader="false"
enableScrolling="false" >
<TileContainer
id="container"
tiles="{/TileCollection}">
<StandardTile
icon="sap-icon://{icon}"
title="{title}" />
</TileContainer>
</Page>
</App>
</mvc:View>
My Home.controller.js:
sap.ui.controller("view.Home", {
onInit : function (evt) {
var sPath = jQuery.sap.getModulePath("data", "/tiles.json");
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel(sPath);
this.getView().setModel(oModel);
}
});
My tiles.json:
{
"TileCollection" : [
{
"icon" : "document-text",
"title" : "Personal Data"
},
{
"icon" : "addresses",
"title" : "Address Data"
},
{
"icon" : "simple-payment",
"title" : "Bank Details"
},
{
"icon" : "car-rental",
"title" : "Vehicle Details"
},
{
"icon" : "study-leave",
"title" : "Training and Qualifications"
}
]
}
Thanks in advance.

As discussed in the comments above and in line with this question, you should wrap yours sap.m.TileContainer
in the sap.m.App
following:
<mvc:View height="100%" controllerName="sap.ui.demo.Onepage.view.App"
xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" displayBlock="true" xmlns="sap.m">
<App>
<Page
showHeader="false"
enableScrolling="false" >
<TileContainer
id="container"
tiles="{/TileCollection}">
<StandardTile icon="sap-icon://{icon}" title="{title}" />
</TileContainer>
</Page>
</App>
sap.m.App
Can of course be implemented in a separate view / controller file and act as the "root" view / controller.
