adding element with duplicate id

Question

I am creating a SAP Fiori application. I have input in a dialog box in that I have to fetch the input value. I am defining the dialog

Answer 1

take a look at the following help IDs in Declarative XML or HTML Fragments you need to add an ID when the fragment is instantiated, that way the control has a prefix which is unique

Answer 2

You create a new dialog fragment instance every time you need to open the dialog . This will cause the duplicated ID issue. Please keep a dialog fragment instance in your controller.

Please see the sample code:

DialogButton:function(oEvent) {
   if(!this.oDialog) {
      this.oDialog =  sap.ui.xmlfragment("you.dialog.id", this );
   }
   this.oDialog.open();
}

Answer 3

It is also a good idea to add your fragment as dependant to your main view. This way it will be destroyed when the main view is destroyed. And you will not get duplicate id error when navigating away from your view and back.

DialogButton:function(oEvent) {
   if(!this.oDialog) {
      this.oDialog =  sap.ui.xmlfragment("you.dialog.id", this );
      this.getView().addDependent(this.oDialog);
   }
   this.oDialog.open();
}
