I want to get value of file path of input element (file type) in openui5 controller. I can use native html controller in xml view but struggle with "controlling" them.

What I have tried:

Successfully inserted native html element into openui5 view. It's working in terms of choosing files and even opening camera to take picture. I'm now trying to read file chosen by input element in js controller but it doesn't seem to work. I can fetch object with var imageInput = this.getView().byId("imageInputId"); ... That returns object of type XMLView, but i cannot get its attributes e.g. imageInput.files[0]. That's undefined.

You won't be able to get the path to the file for security reasons. If you want to read the file you'll need to use the html5 file api. Google "html5 file api" for examples.

Hi,

Can You try as below, I haven't tested this code it just way to do.

HTML

<u:FileUploader
id="fileUploader"
name="myFileUpload"
uploadUrl="upload/"
tooltip="Upload your file to the local server"
uploadComplete="handleUploadComplete"
change="handleValueChange"
...

JavaScript

Controller.extend('FileUploaderComplez.Controller', {
   handleValueChange: function(oEvent){
          //oEvent is fileupload events can have fileContent
   }
}
