8. Lets see what are those different components.

  • Under “view” folder we have View1 and its controller.If you want to create a new view you should be creating under this folder only.
  • Under “helloworld” folder, we have 3 files. index.html is the root file of the whole project.We are going to access any application by calling this index.html file only. neo-app.json and .project.json are the supporting files for the project at this point they are not important to discuss.

11. Lets go back to WebIDE, add below changes to the application

  • Add a button to the View1.
  • Implement “onPress” event of the button and call a simple Hello World message.
  • Change the title of the View1.

12. Double click on the “View1.xml”. A view editor will be open beside to the project explorer. Adjust the existing code by adding button to the view.

<core:View xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" 
	xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" 
	xmlns="sap.m" controllerName="saplearners.com.view.View1" 
	xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<Page title="SAPU5 Hello world application">
		<content>
			<Button xmlns="sap.m"
				id="id"
				text="Press me.!"
				type="Default"
				width=""
				enabled="true"
				icon=""
				iconFirst="true"
				activeIcon=""
				iconDensityAware="true"
				textDirection="Inherit"
				tap=""
				press="onPress">
					<tooltip></tooltip> <!-- sap.ui.core.TooltipBase -->
					<dependents></dependents> <!-- sap.ui.core.Control, since 1.19 -->
					
			</Button>
		</content>
	</Page>
</core:View>

13. Now double click on the “View1.controller.js” to add the code for handling “onPress” event of the button. There are 4 default hook methods available in any controller. onInit( ), onBeforeRendering( ), onAfterRendering( ) and onExit( ) at this point we are not going to discuss those, just add the below code to the controller.

	onPress: function(){
		// onPress event handler method of the button 
		jQuery.sap.require("sap.m.MessageBox");
		sap.m.MessageBox.alert("Hello World");
	}

14. Save the all changes to the project and select index.html file and hit Run. You should see the below output of the application.
