I can't programmatically get selections, please assist

Anonymous — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 12:29:26 GMT

Hello!

I'm absolutely new in this technologies and I'm trying work with Qlick Sense 3.0 programmatically.

I created application like on video from youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT0KPWtrgMg

And now my purpose is to get/set selections programmatically.

To do this, I created extension and added it on sheet.

When sheet is updating, my method executing.

And my question is:

What should i do to get selected id or value in browser console?

What i made:

I've selected some fields:

And next, i'm wrote code:

define( [ "qlik"],


function ql(qlik) {

  function myFunction(){

  var app = qlik.openApp('Auto.qvf');

  app.getList('CurrentSelections', function(reply){
       console.log(reply);
  });

  }


  return {

  paint: function ($element) {

  myFunction();

  return qlik.Promise.resolve();
  }
  };

} );

But, in result, I'm always receiving an empty array.

How to do it right?

Please Assist.

Yes, i read topics before create new.

Thanks.

You can probably use var app = qlik.CurrApp(); instead of specifying the app name to start if this is an embedded extension object. Then, I referred to this documentation: Current selections ‒ Qlik Sense‌. But I can't seem to get it to work... let me know if you have any luck instituting the foreach.

var currentSelection = App.GetCurrentSelection();

foreach (var selectedField in currentSelection.selections) {

alert("Field: " + selectedField.Field);

alert("Selected values : " + selectedField.Selected);

}

It Works!

define( [
  'qlik'
],


function (qlik) {




  function myFunction(){

  var app = qlik.currApp();

  app.getList("SelectionObject", function(reply){

  // console.log(reply);

  var str = "";
  $.each(reply.qSelectionObject.qSelections, function(key, value) {
  console.log(value.qSelected);
  });


  });



  }


  return {


    paint: function ($element) {


  myFunction();

  return qlik.Promise.resolve();
  }
  };


} );
