When you are developing an application using XEO you’ll need to open specific views as a result of certain actions. In order for you to achieve that you need to create the view in memory and for that you have two choices:
\n
\nXUIViewRoot viewRoot = getSessionContext().createChildView(\"viewers\/path\/to\/viewer\/Viewer.xvw\");
\n<\/code>
\nor<\/p>\n

XUIViewRoot viewRoot = getSessionContext().createView(\"viewers\/path\/to\/viewer\/Viewer.xvw\");
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

The main difference between the two is regarding the current context. Creating a view with createView<\/em> uses a new context and switches the context immediately<\/strong> upon invocation (meaning you loose access to anything that was available in the current context<\/strong>) . If you use the createChildView<\/em> method you maintain the same context in the two views ( which is important if the two views share some relationship – hence the name create ” child ” view)<\/p>\n

So if your two views have no relationship but you need information for the current context… Save them in variables before creating the view – or else<\/em>. Most of the times createChildView<\/em> is the correct usage, but if the two views are disconnected, use createView<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
