SAPUI5 multiple sap.m.TileContainer in JS view

I have a single page app written in SAPUI5 using JS views. I want to create a "Dashboard" page and put some tiles on it. Therefore I am creating a "sap.m.TileContainer" in the "createContent" function of my view.js-file.

What I need to implement is to have two separate TileConatiner because I have important tiles at the top and less important ones at the bottom. But no matter what I do e.g. putting the two TileContainers in a MatrixLayout, HorizontalLayout or as "content" into a sap.m.page it is no longer shown. One TileContainer is shown when I just return this single instance directly without any componet surrounding it.

Can anyone help me out here please? Following code works fine:

    createContent : function(oController) {

    var tileContainer = new sap.m.TileContainer({
        tiles : [ 
            new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://play",
            title : "Important Tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://pause",
            title : "ANOTHER Important Tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://timesheet",
            title : "Third important tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://number-sign",
            title : "UNIMPORTANT ONE",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://locate-me",
            title : "UNIMPORTANT TWO",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        })

         ],

    });

    return tileContainer;
}

This code doesnt work:

    createContent : function(oController) {

    var tileContainerTop = new sap.m.TileContainer({
        tiles : [ 
            new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://play",
            title : "Important Tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://pause",
            title : "Another important Tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://timesheet",
            title : "Third important tile",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }),

         ],

    });

    var tileContainerBottom = new sap.m.TileContainer({
        tiles : [ 
            new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://play",
            title : "UNIMPORTANT ONE",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        }), new sap.m.StandardTile({
            icon : "sap-icon://pause",
            title : "UNIMPORTANT TWO",
            press : function() {
                oController.nav.to("AfoStart");
            }
        })
         ],

    });     

    var page = new sap.m.Page("myPage", {

        title: "Dashboard",
        content: [tileContainerTop, tileContainerBottom]

    });

    // OR create MatrixLayout here...doenst work
    // OR create HorizontalLayout here...doesnt work

    return page;
}

You have to set enableScrolling of your page to false and adjust the height of TileContainer both. Set the height of both container as 50-50% , both the tiles will be visible on your page. Only setting enableScrolling to false will not work.

you need to set enableScrolling of your page to false. Because then the page will take 100% of the place. If you do not do it the page will try to be as big as its content.

A tile container is by default as big as its parent so both the page and the containers will have a height of 0.

Here i placed 2 Tile containers below each other so they take half of the screen:
