oInput1.setText("Some Text ");
oInput1.setTooltip("This is a tooltip ");

// attach it to some element in the page
oInput1.placeAt("sample1");

The placeAt() method is normally only used to place a View or App into the HTML.

If you want to add a UI5 control on your view, you can do it this way from the controller:

this.getView().addContent(oInput1);

But most likely you won't add controls directly to the view, but rather inside a layout or something inside your view. In that case, do it like this:

var oLayout = this.getView().byId("idOfYourSpecificLayoutFrame");
oLayout.addContent(oInput1);
