CAML query in Workflow inside sharepoint hosted app

Hi,
I am building a sharepoint hosted app for sharepoint online.The app includes a list workflow.One of the activity in the workflow is to query another list within the app web, to get count of items where a condition is met.Can anyone please guide me how this
can be achieved?
Thanks!

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the Reply
Following code helped me in creating the Subsite successfully in host web
Var hostWebUrl;
Var appWebUrl;
Var context;
Var newSubsite;
function () {
try
hostWebUrl = GetQueryString("SPHostUrl");
appWebUrl = GetQueryString ("SPAppWebUrl");
var layoutsRoot = hostWebUrl +
'/_layouts/15/';
$.getScript(layoutsRoot + "SP.Runtime.js",
function () {
$.getScript(layoutsRoot + "SP.js", CreateSubsite);});
catch(ex)
alert("message" + ex.message);
function GetQueryString (name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/,
"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,
var regex =
new RegExp("[\\?&]"
+ name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results ==
null ?
"" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g,
// Function to create subsite
function CreateSubsite () {
context = new SP.ClientContext(appWebUrl);
var hostContext =
new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostWebUrl);
var webCreateInfo =
new SP.WebCreationInformation();
//set values
webCreateInfo.set_description("New Subsite Created");
webCreateInfo.set_language(1033);

webCreateInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(true);
webCreateInfo.set_webTemplate("STS#0");
 this.web = hostContext.get_web();
newSubsite = this.web.get_webs().add(webCreateInfo);
context.load(newSubsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this,successHandler),Function.createDelegate(this,errorHandler));
function successHandler() {
alert("subsite created successfully");
function errorHandler(sender, args) {

    Hi Everyone,
    We are developing SharePoint hosted apps for Office 365, for that we are going

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update list column in SharePoint hosted apps using JavaScript Client Object Model.
    Based on the error message, it seems not retrieve the list object in context. I suggest you debug the code step by step using Internet Explorer Developer Tools to
    find the problem.
    Here are some demos about using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint hosted app:

  • Caml query for filtering list item not working as expected in Sharepoint hosted app

    I am trying to filter list item based on particular value.

  • Issue with Workflow in a SharePoint-hosted App Application

    Hi,
    I have created a Sharepoint-hosted app which has a list workflow in it. After I deploy it to the sharepoint server,  I can not find any workflow under the associated list.
    However, I did have target list associated with workflow in workflow project property.  
    (My app and worflow is developed in VS 2012)
    I have searched the forum and found some similar question. However, all of them don't have useful answers.....
    Can anyone give me some help~?

    Hi Baron123,
    I can reproduce your scenario, that create an app with list, and add a workflow associates with it, the workflow is not working, that seems doesn’t associates successfully.
    Before I can tell why this happens, I found a helpful blog about keeping the list definitions and workflow definitions separate, use Handle APP installed event receiver to wire up a workflow to lists in app web or host web.
    As it is not a good solution to deploy the list and workflow in the same app solution, because that if you redeploy the app the date will be lost, the list will be new created, so I would suggest you to reference the blog, check whether this can meet your
    requirement.

  • SharePoint hosted app part and SPHostUrl + SPAppWebUrl

    Hi,
    I have sharepoint hosted app that gets hostweburl and appweburl with the next lines 
    function getUrl() {
    hostweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl");
    appweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl");
    hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(hostweburl);
    appweburl = decodeURIComponent(appweburl);
    var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
    $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js",
    function () {
    $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js",
    function () { $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execOperation); }
    function execOperation() {
    context = new SP.ClientContext(appweburl);
    appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
    And this works fine. But when I'm creating app part those hostweburl and appweburl fields are undefined. So I cant get the context and everything is broken. Is this done in some other way in app parts? 

    Like this in the ClientWebPart   
    <Content
          Type="html"
          Src="~appWebUrl/Pages/Welcome.aspx?{StandardTokens}&amp;ShowImage=_ShowImage_" />
    The {StandardTokens} contains all the queryString parameters you need.

  • Deployed lists in a SharePoint hosted app use the wrong content type.

    I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 to deploy a SharePoint hosted app to my SharePoint 2013 development environment. 
    I have created 2 lists, one of which is using a custom content type with custom columns and the other is just a simple custom list definition and instance, all of which are deployed inside the same feature.
    However when I go to the simple list, it is using the content type from the other list, even though in the schema.xml shows that it is not supposed to use this content type. I have checked the content type ID and it is not referencing my custom content type,
    but for some reason the list is using that content type.
    I remember seeing this same issue a few months ago while creating a SP2010 sandbox solution. It could well be something I'm doing wrong when creating the lists/content type.
    Steps to recreate this issue:
    Create a SharePoint hosted app in VS
    Create some custom fields
    Create a custom content type
    Create a list based on that content type
    Create another list not based on the content type
    Delete feature that VS creates for the second list and add the list def and instance to the main feature (containing the other list and content type)
    Deploy and go to second list, note that it has the custom fields from the first list.
    Any advice on what to do about this would be great. I have tried deleting the list and recreating it in VS several times but that didn't work.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I have now tested against a trail Office  365 Developer site and I had to make a few adjustments
    - change the url
    - change the target to SharePoint Onlne
    - change the url 
    I still wasn't happy so I created a new SharePoint Hosted app and pointed at the above developer site.  I copied my CrossDomainExec.js and stripped all my code except my CopyItemInSameLIbrary method which hasn't changed since I created this post. 
    - changed the App Manifest permissions to Web -full Control ( was previously tenant)
    I still got errors which is really painful as you don't even see the POST request in Fiddler
    The URL used for my POST is as follows ( note host URL is fictitious)
    "https://myapphell-547d8061d39e38.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev/RESTTestSHA/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx')/copyTo(strNewUrl='/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDoc.docx', bOverWrite=true)?@target='https://myapphell.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev'" String
    Ran the app a second time and now I see......Wow it WORKS!!!!!! ..Can't be true can it?
    .... next I will switch the target url to my on prem farm to see if this still works so watch this space!

  • Digital signature in SharePoint hosted app

    I am creating a sharepoint hosted app where user must use digital signature(loginname, password) before submitting request.
    I am unable to find any machenism to validate user credentials using jquery/javascript.

    Hi,
    Check the blog below:
    Use tasks to maintain your workflow state. Each approval adds a task for the signer. There is a workflow action to handle this for you. When the task is done, it moves to the next step.
    Use the Wait action to have your workflow pause until a change is made. You would have a column for each signer. When the column is filled in, the workflow continues with the email for the next signer.
    Have a workflow that runs for each signing step. The workflow will be kicked off on item change. You will need a column for each signer again. The workflow will examine each column in order to determine what stage it is on and then email the appropriate person.

  • How to open List when Page loads in SharePoint Hosted App?

    I  want to create an app same like InstantPracticeManager by InstantQuick.
    Now I want to know that in a SharePoint Hosted App How can I show the Whole List in a page. 
    Here I have added one image:
    Here there is one list and there are 4 views of that list.
    Now the App will be like when I load the page It will show like the image above. Now how can we show the list like this in sharepoint hosted app?
    I want the same scenario which is shown in the following blogs:
    http://sp2013.blogspot.in/2012/08/use-list-view-in-sharepoint-2013-apps.html
    and
    http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/08/working-with-web-parts-within.html
    where they add a list to an app
    Can any one suggest me the idea? I am bit confused.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show the different list view in a page in SharePoint Hosted App.
    We can use jQuery and cross-domain library to achieve it.

  • How to get inputted value in a RTE field on custom page and submit by REST call in 'Sharepoint hosted app'.

    Hi I am facing the three questions below.
    1. How to use default RTE in custom page in Sharepoint hosted app.
     I saw the article of Rich text Editor (ribbon based) in a webpart in SharePoint 2013 and tried it. But it did not work well. I guess it needs code-behind setting, however sharepoint hosted app does not support code-behind.
    Does anybody know how to do this?
    2. In above case, I placed the below code on custom page and tried to get the field's value when submit button was clicked.
    <SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="rftDefaultValue"
    RichText="true"
    RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server"
    TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="5">
    </SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
    In debugger, the returned value was 'undefined'.
    var note = $('#hogehoge').val();
    Is it possible to get the RTE value? If yes, please let me know how to do this.
    3. I need to submit the RTE value using REST call.
    In this
    article in MSDN, the item creation sample treats single line text field. Does anybody know the sample for RTE?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you might want to use Rich Text Editor control in your SharePoint hosted app.
    First of all, I would suggest you post one question in one thread to make it easier to be discussed, which would also help you get a quick solution.
    Though we can add this control into a SharePoint hosted app, however, as we can’t add code behind for it, plus with the potential compatibility issues in different
    browsers, I would suggest you use other JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins instead.
    Two JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins for your reference:
    http://quilljs.com/
    http://nicedit.com/
    If you want to submit the value of Rich Text Editor control to a SharePoint list using REST call, since the content in the Multiple Line of Text column is wrapped
    with nested HTML tags, the similar requirement would also be applied to the content to be submitted.
    Here is a code snippet about how to update a Multiple Line of Text column for your reference:
    updateListItem(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl, "List018", 1);
    function updateListItem(siteUrl, listName, itemId)
    var itemType = GetItemTypeForListName(listName);
    var item = {
    "__metadata": { "type": itemType },
    "MultiTextEnhanced": "<div><a href='http://bing.com/'>Bing</a><br></p></div>",
    "Title": "123"
    $.ajax({
    url: siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")",
    method: "GET",
    headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
    success: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
    $.ajax({
    url: data.d.__metadata.uri,
    type: "POST",
    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
    data: JSON.stringify(item),
    headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
    "X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
    "If-Match": data.d.__metadata.etag
    success: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
    error: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
    error: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
    // Getting the item type for the list
    function GetItemTypeForListName(name)
    return"SP.Data." + name.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + name.slice(1) + "ListItem";

    function PerformUpload(listName, fileName, listItem, fileData)
        var urlOfAttachment="";
       // var itemId = listItem.get_id();
        urlOfAttachment = appWebUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + listItem + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + fileName + "')"
        // use the request executor (cross domain library) to perform the upload
        var reqExecutor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appWebUrl);
        reqExecutor.executeAsync({
            url: urlOfAttachment,
            method: "POST",

  • OnPremise: Sharepoint Hosted App gives 401 unauthorized error while accessing UserProfile Rest Service

    Hi All,
    I have SharePoint hosted app deployed on On-Premise using(F5) which reads User Profile data consumes WCF(Hosted on same server) through REST API to insert data in to SQL DB(Different server).
    SharePoint hosted app was working as expected and suddenly it started asking for credential and not login(any user) to the application landing page.
    Checked SharePoint Logs, IIS Logs and Windows log but did not get any clue.
    WCF is accessible, User Profile access is also happening but not sure what changes done on server or infra level which causing this issue.
    I have an On-Premise Environment for SharePoint 2013. where we have created SharePoint hosted app which calls "http:///_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties" to get current user's data. but this gives me 401 unauthorized error.
    Notes:
    I had given read permission to user profile and full control to sitecollection in appmanifest. If I run this app on Office 365 developer site it works fine, but on premise environment it give 401 error.
    On premise environment when I deploy this app 3 times it prompt for  credential and finally gives the following error
    Error message after login 3 times:
    {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access
    denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}
