Data binding with Multiple Filter

Hi Experts,

I am trying to do the data binding using filters with multiple values.

ex: I am selecting the multiple values from list dialog and those i want to pass to odata service as a filters.

name : abc

               pqr

I am looping on above and pushing it to array of filters.

     jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.model.FilterOperator");

     var FilterOperator = sap.ui.model.FilterOperator;

     var filtersTerr =  new Array();

   for(i=0;i<name.length;i++){

  filterName = new sap.ui.model.Filter("FirstName", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ, name[i]);

  filter.push(filterName );

   }

this..getBinding("items").filter([filter],false);

Final filter should be something $filter=FirstName='abc' or FirstName='pqr'.

I have already looked into below discussions but somehow came to conclusion that array cannot be use with OR/AND.

Odata Filter with OR

Please let me know how this needs to be written.
