openui5: How to get current JSON model element in RowRepeater

Question

I'm having trouble getting the current JSON model element which is bound to a RowRepeater element. With tables and lists, I would simply retrieve the current index (or indices) and based on these values, I point to the matching element in my JSON model. However, the RowRepeater element does not have a current index property. As I feel I should be able to retrieve the current element directly, as opposed to indirectly by the current index, is there a better, uniform way to retrieve the current element? Sample code for model : ``` var mydata = { "data": [ { "key": "67b895bf-8d89-11e3-94a7-0000005341de", "name": "my 1st item" }, { "key": "7780de05-8d83-11e3-bec4-0000005341de", "name": "my 2nd item" } ] }; var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel(); oModel.setData(dummydata); sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel); ``` Sample code for RowRepeater (I want to retrieve the current 'key' upon pressing the delete icon): ``` var oRowRepeater = new sap.ui.commons.RowRepeater(); //create the templ…

Accepted Answer

the following works for me

```
icon.attachPress(function(oEvent) {
    sap.ui.commons.MessageBox.alert(this.getBindingContext().getProperty('name'));
});
```

the selected object

```
var seletedRow = this.getBindingContext().getObject()
```
