Launch Tile Problem

Question

Hi,
Am getting error when I try to use launch tile in my application.
Code :
var oLaunchTile = new sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile({
         title : "Create Shopping Cart",
         icon : "sap-icon://cart",
         link : "http://www.sap.com"
Error :
Cannot read property 'ImageHelper' of undefined
Am getting this error only when I use icon property in the Launch Tile.
Please help me on the same.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Below is the code written in LaunchTile.js. and as you can see the highlighted statement, ImageHelper function from sap.m is being used and that is why you were getting error when you did not included sap.m library.

jQuery.sap.declare('sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile');jQuery.sap.require('sap.suite.ui.commons.library');jQuery.sap.require('sap.ui.core.Control');sap.ui.core.Control.extend('sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile',{metadata:{library:'sap.suite.ui.commons',properties:{'title':{type:'string',group:'Misc',defaultValue:null},'icon':{type:'sap.ui.core.URI',group:'Misc',defaultValue:null},'link':{type:'sap.ui.core.URI',group:'Misc',defaultValue:null}},events:{'press':{}}}});sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile.M_EVENTS={'press':'press'};jQuery.sap.require('sap.ui.core.IconPool');
sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile.prototype.exit=function(){if(this._iconImage){this._iconImage.destroy();this._iconImage=undefined}};
sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile.prototype.setIcon=function(u){this.setProperty('icon',u,true);var i=this.getId()+'-img';var s='72px';var p={src:u,height:s,width:s,size:s};this._iconImage=sap.m.ImageHelper.getImageControl(i,this._iconImage,this,p);return this};
sap.suite.ui.commons.LaunchTile.prototype.onclick=function(e){this.firePress({title:this.getTitle(),link:this.getLink()})};
I hope this answers your question.
