Hi all
I recently published a series of posts on rewriting one of the OpenSAP Mobile Course apps from Week 3 Unit 3 (W3U3) - see the W3U3 Rewrite Series intro post for more details.
One of the nice-to-have's that I mentioned in the intro, and something that will become more important over time (esp. with the Fiori Wave 2 apps) is the XML-based declarative view definitions. So, spurred on by folks like Former Member I made a first pass at XML views for the rewrite.
I've created a new branch on the Github repo:
https://github.com/qmacro/w3u3_redonebasic/tree/xmlviews
This branch has the changes for the XML view approach. It includes a replacement XML view for each of the views (App, Login, ProductList, ProductDetail, SupplierDetail) and a modified navigation mechanism using the EventBus.
I'll write a blog post on this soon, but for now, as always ... share & enjoy!
Hi DJ,
Great work. Will the first wave Fiori HTML views also be rewritten to XML?
I am still very used to create JS views but these XML views look very clean indeed,much better than the HTML views with all these <div> tags and data-attributes.
I did not use it much in my HTML views, but i expect with XML views you can still include your "own" HTML if you want?
Looking forward to your blog.

Hi Leo,
yes (I think so) and yes.
For plain HTML tags you just need to set the proper namespace. A simple XMLView using plain HTML would look like this (plain HTML parts highlighted):
<mvc:View xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns="sap.ui.commons"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
XML view instantiated with XML string:<html:br/>
<Panel text="Hello World">
<Button text="{/actionName}" press="doSomething"></Button>
<html:table border="5"><html:tr><html:td>An</html:td><html:td>HTML Table</html:td></html:tr></html:table>
</Panel>
</mvc:View>
Regards
Andreas
