How to get parent view oData model in SAPUI5?

I have a master-details application in SAPUI5 (The application has been made by WebIde template applications). The view inside of the App is set to busy and I need to unbusy the view in child view. Thus I need to access the parent view.

So in Master.controller.js I need to access the owner component view. All controllers inherited from BasicController and have setModel and getModel functions. While inside of the App.controller.js there is a line like this:

this.setModel(oViewModel, "appView");

I can not access this view model in master controller by:

this.getModel("appView");

It returns undefined. There is command that I can get owner component:

this.getOwnerComponent()

But how can I get view of the owner component or its OViewModel?

See your rootView in your manifest.json which should be your App controller. https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/be0cf40f61184b358b5faedaec98b2da.html

Put the following code in your base controller.

this.getOwnerComponent().getAggregation("rootControl").getModel("appView")

I tried the code in Worklist.controller.js which is part of a UI5 demo project at https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/m/demokit/tutorial/worklist/07/webapp/test/mockServer.html and it is working OK.

Thank you!

You want to access a model that is defined only in DetailView from the Masterview controller?

First get a grip on the DetailView, then you can access the model there.

sap.ui.getCore().byId("IdOfDetailView").getModel("appView");

You should be able to access your models anywhere as long as you used getModel() with the correct name inside the parenthesis. Do you have a model defined in your Component.js, or wherever SAP suggests defining them, named "appView"?
