Table method getRows() returns only visible Rows

In my use case I wanted to get the selected indices and the related rows. So I used the methods getSelectedIndices() and getRows(). But to my utter surprise I only get the actual visible rows, but the indices are the “real” indices (so when scrolled down they start fortunately NOT with 0).

In my opinion this is a bug, because working with indices and the rows becomes useless. Also the method should be called “getVisibleRows()” or something similar to make it clear.

Actual I use “the workaround” that I use the indices with my related model.

OpenUI5 version: 1.24.2

Browser/version (+device/version): Google Chrome 41.0.2272.118 (64-bit)

Any other tested browsers/devices(OK/FAIL): Firefox 37.0.1

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open the JSBin example
2. Click the button and look into the console
3. Scroll the table down, click the button and look into the console again http://jsbin.com/pujokiyusa/1/edit?html,console,output

What is the expected result? getRows() should return ALL rows

What happens instead? It returns only the displayed rows

Hi,

Can you please update the openui5 documentation https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.table.Table.html#getRows ? I lost time to understand why I only get visible rows with the getRows() method… until I found this post.

Thank you guys.

This looks a bit weird to me. The 2nd line is essentially the same as the event handler. What are you trying to achieve thereby?

Maybe https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/api/sap.ui.model.ListBinding#methods/getAllCurrentContexts is what you are looking for?

The second line is to initialize, because attachChange is only called on a change.
