Re: events and ids

Question 1:
Use event.getSource(), it'll return the control which raised the event.

Question 2:

I'm pretty sure you cannot set an ID to a XML view automatically generated (Router). If you are creating your XML view manually (using JavaScript), so you can set an id like in the example below.

oPage = new sap.ui.xmlview("mainview", "sap.ui.demo.wt.view.App");
