Unable to load mat file data in Matlab App

In the App , I would like to ask the user to select the mat file path and load that file into workspace by pressing a push button. Below is the code and I don't why the mat file data is not getting loaded into the workspace. Secondly I also would like to plot the data in additional tabs. Could somebody help?

% Button pushed function: LoadButton_2

function LoadButton_2Pushed(app, event)

[app.file,app.path] = uigetfile('*.mat');

if isequal(app.file,0)

disp('User selected Cancel');

else

tempX =load(fullfile(app.path,app.file));

app.plotdata_2 =tempX;

disp(['User selected ', fullfile(app.path,app.file)]);

app.Logfile_2EditField.Value = app.file;

end

end

The variables in your mat file are getting loaded into a structure. You have named this structure tempX. In order to access the data, you need to use the structure name and the variable name:

data = tempX.varName;

You can read more about this syntax with load here.
