Dynamically bind table from controller in SAPUI5

Question

I have created a table in the xml view, I would like to bind the table in the controller so it can be modified dynamically depending on who is loading the app.

XML VIEW

<Table inset="false"
            id="pTable">    
            <columns>
                <Column id="year" width="auto">
                    <Text text="Year" />
                </Column>
                <Column id="rating" width="auto">
                    <Text text="Performance Rating"/>
                </Column>
                <Column id="respect" width="auto">
                    <Text text="Managing with Respect" />
                </Column>
            </columns>
            <items>
                <ColumnListItem>
                    <cells>
                        <Text id="tYear" text="{Begda}" />
                        <Text id="tRating" text="{Rating}" />
                        <Text id="tRespect" text="{MwrRating}" />                        
                    </cells>
                </ColumnListItem>
             </items>
            </Table>     

JS Controller

var pHistory = this.byId("pTable");
var phURL = "/PMRPerformanceSet/?$filter=IvGuid eq '5438A43913276540E1008000A7E414BA'"
pHistory.setModel(oModel);
pHistory.bindRows(phURL);

It seems like the controller should look something like this, however, this does not work

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I guess it should more look like this:

var oTable = this.getView().byId("pTable");
var phURL = "/PMRPerformanceSet/?$filter=IvGuid eq '5438A43913276540E1008000A7E414BA'"
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(baseUrl + phURL);

oTable.setModel(oModel);
oTable.bindRows("/YourBindingRootPath");

See Example in the docs .

I guess you are using sap.m.Table:

<Table id="pTable" 
    inset="false" 
    items="{/PMRPerformanceSet}">  // add items Here for your oData  collection   
    <columns>
        <Column id="year" width="auto">
            <Text text="Year" />
         </Column>
         <Column id="rating" width="auto">
             <Text text="Performance Rating"/>
         </Column>
         <Column id="respect" width="auto">
             <Text text="Managing with Respect" />
         </Column>
     </columns>
     <items>
         <ColumnListItem>
             <cells>
                 <Text id="tYear" text="{Begda}" />
                 <Text id="tRating" text="{Rating}" />
                 <Text id="tRespect" text="{MwrRating}" />                        
             </cells>
         </ColumnListItem>
     </items>
</Table>

Then set Model in controller. check your odata service response in Network tab of developers tool then Bind items according to that in XML view.

Please try this in controller

   var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("proxy/http/seasrv05.applexus.com:8000/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZGET_MATERIALS",
              true, 'appdevelop', 'develop01');

    oModel.read("/zget_materialsCollection",null,["$filter=i_search eq 'R1' and i_werks eq '1000'"],true,
            function(data, response) 
        {
        var value=[];
        value = data.results;
        console.log(value);
        console.log(oModel);
        //sap.ui.getCore().getModel("getMaterialModel").fireRequestCompleted();
        var oModel1 = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
        oModel1.setData({ materials: value});
        oModel1.setSizeLimit(300);
        var oTable = sap.ui.getCore().byId("table");
        oTable.setModel(oModel1);
        oTable.bindRows("/materials");      
        },
        function()
        {
            jQuery.sap.require("sap.m.MessageToast");
            sap.m.MessageToast.show("No record fetched",{my : "center center",at : "center center"});
        }); 

Answer 4

Here is the solution I ending up using, this takes the table with the id "pTable" from an xml view and binds it with my JSON model jModel.

var pHistory = this.byId("pTable");
    pHistory.setModel(jModel);
    pHistory.bindAggregation("items", "/ratings/results", new sap.m.ColumnListItem({
        cells:[
               new sap.m.Label({
                   text:"{Begda}"
               }),
               new sap.m.Text({
                   text:"{Rating}"
               }),
               new sap.m.Text({
                   text:"{MwrRating}"
               })
               ]
    }));
