How to close an app inside another app in component container approach with openUI5

[former_member187007]

Hello SCN friends.

I'm trying to create a menu in openui5 like a Fiori Launchpad but deployed in a apache server, that's why I can't use Fiori launchpad, so I opted for using component container to host my child app when the user clicks on a menu option or tile, so I have one view for each app, inside each view I put a component container where I load my child app, this is on the onInit method, like this:

this.byId("pageCalcExtrac").addContent( new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer({
				 		autoPrefixId : true,
					 	settings : { id: "childComponent5"},
				 		height : "100%",
				 	 	manifest : true,
				 	 	async : true,
				 	  	lifecycle : "Container",
				 	  	usage : "reuseAnotherComponent"
				 	 }));

When I close the child app I need to destroy or unload it, but when I get back to the menu (custom launchpad) and enter again the child app, the app is already loaded in memory, I would like to have it loading again from scratch, the same behavior that a Fiori Launchpad does it. Somebody can tell me how can I destroy the child app when I get back to the launchpad?.

Best regards.

Did you try using the onExit method which will be called once view is closed and you can remove the added the object also. Have you coded anything in this method if yes please share the code.

Hello Nabheet, thanks for your reply, I've not coded anything under the onExit method, because when I navigate back to the menu, I use window.history.go(-1) sentence, so this way the onExit method doesn't run, do you know what's the right way to get back in order to the onExit method run. The window.history.go(-1) I do it from my child app.

Thank you again.

My application structure is like this:

Menu (Parent app)

|-----> menu View

|

|-----> pageCalcExtrac View -------> ComponentContainer (Child app) from here I handle the back button, this way returns to the menu view.

call removecontent when you navigate back.

Thanks Jun, this was what I did: instead of doing it inside the navigate back button I had to handle the event onAfterHide and onAfterShow in the parent view to destroy and create the content of the child app, now it works as desire, when I'm in my child app, simply I do the window.history.go(-1) and returns to the menu view triggering the event onAfterHide of the parent view (pageCalcExtrac) destroying the content, when I enter again the child app, the parent view triggers the onAfterShow event and the child app loads from the scratch. I'm going to keep testing because this was something that I found doing some google search I'm not sure if this is the right approach but it works so far. The events onAfterHide and onAfterShow I put them inside an addEventDelegate method call inside the onInit method of the parent view.

Thanks to all.
