To use lightning design system we don't need to upload library  to static resource and reference them in visual force page. We can include them by using apex tag i.e <apex:slds/>. here is example of include of slds in visual force page.

How to get object name from ID of record

Arpit Sharma April 13, 2017 , ,




In Salesforce some time we have requirement to retrieve object name from record ID. So We can done this by two approach.

First approach
  • Get SObject type from record ID by using getSObjectType() method.
  • Convert Sobject type into string value.

Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact');
insert contactRecord;
// contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType() return Sobject Type of record then we convert them into String
String objectName = String.valueOf(contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType());

Second approach
  • Get Sobject type from record id by using getSObjectType() method.
  • Describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method.
  • Then get name of object from object describe by using getName() method .

Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact');
insert contactRecord;
/*
   - first we get Sobject type by using statement contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType()
   - we describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method.
   - then from object describe by using getName() we can get name of that object 
*/
String objectName = contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();
