Fiori Elements: Custom Buttons not directing to the corresponding code

[max_mueller007]

Hi,

I am working on my first fiori app by following Excel Upload using RAP: Part -3 | SAP Blogs

Since the blog is a bit old now I have had to edit a few things from the blog to make it work.

Now, I am able to get the Upload dialog box, but the buttons on it do not work.

This is my file structure:

Following is the code snippet in the controller for one of the buttons:

Following is the fragment used:

Following is my Output:

While the upload button at the top works, none of the 3 at the bottom work.

I tried changing in the fragment

<Button id="Template" text="Template" press="onTempDownload" icon="sap-icon://download-from-cloud" type="Emphasized"/><br>

to

<Button id="Template" text="Template" press=".onTempDownload" icon="sap-icon://download-from-cloud" type="Emphasized"/><br>

by adding a dot so it refers to the controller

as well as to

<Button id="Template" core:require="{ handler: '/home/user/projects/ypgms_building_v2/webapp/ext/controller/ListReportExt'}" text="Template" press="handler.onTempDownload" icon="sap-icon://download-from-cloud" type="Emphasized"/>

but this second correction gives me an error that this path is not under the Resources. I am not sure how to get the /ext folder to show under the Resources section in the F12 Developer Options.

What would be the right way to proceed?

Thanks

Based on this excel blog post i created a free and open source Component to upload excel files so you dont need to write your own code.
It may helps you;

Hi Marian,

Thanks for the link. I am trying this out using the documentation on https://docs.spreadsheet-importer.com/pages/Button/

However, since my model exists on Steampunk on Eclipse, I do not have any XML view in my project, where should I add the corresponding code?

Thanks.

max_mueller007 What do you mean you dont have a XML View?

What is your Use Case and Setup?

You can open the dialog only with Code, see here:

What do you think?

Many Thanks.

The "getView" depends on the context. For example it is different between OData V2 and V4 Fiori Elements Application.

The best way is to set a break point and check what "this" gives you.

What could work is "this.editFlow.getView()" for example in V4
