I'm new to SAPUI5 and I'm trying to set a value into a label in my view via my controller.
View1.controller.js
onInit: function()
{
var currentTime = this.whatsTheTime();
var currentDate = this.whatsTheDate();
this.getView().byId("timeDisplay").setValue(currentTime);
this.getView().byId("dateDisplay").setValue(currentDate);
this.repeat(function() {
currentTime = this.whatsTheTime();
currentDate = this.whatsTheDate();
this.getView().byId("timeDisplay").setText(currentTime);
this.getView().byId("dateDisplay").setText(currentDate);
}, 1000);
view.xml
<mvc:View controllerName="testApp.controller.View1" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns="sap.m">
<Label id = "timeDisplay" design="Bold" />
<Label id = "dateDisplay" design="Bold"/>
<Button
text = "Click me"
press = "doNothing" />
</mvc:View>
Basically, in the controller, whatsTheTime and whatsTheDate both return values and I'm trying to set those values into the label. It's a pretty simple thing but I'm missing out something because in my console
this.getView(...).byId(...).setValue is not a function
EDIT: Also, is there any particular way in writing my repeat function to run every 1 second inside my onInit function? Because it says that repeat is not a function. The whole point of the repeat function is to update the value every 1 second.
Why exactly is this throwing me up this error?
