Display Apex maps in Visualforce page

Hey,

Im trying to display maps in a visualforce page but the method that builds the map doesnt seem to be called when i preview my page. I would appreciate some help please :)

Here's my map : 

public map<string,string> getMapFieldLabel(){
        
        //List<string> fieldsLabels = new List<string>();
        List<Custom_Object__c> defaultFields = [Select Name from Custom_Object__c where Default__c=True];
        Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> typeMap = Schema.SObjectType.A_second_Custom_Object__c.fields.getMap();
          
        //Get choosen default fields label    
        for(Custom_Object__c defaultField : defaultFields) {
            
            Schema.SObjectField field = typeMap.get(defaultField.Name);
            string fieldLabel =field.getDescribe().getLabel();
            mapFieldLabel.put(defaultField.Name, fieldLabel);
            //fieldsLabels.add(fieldLabel);
            
            
        }
        system.debug(mapFieldLabel);
        return mapFieldLabel;
        
    }

And my VF code : 

         <apex:pageBlockSection columns="3" collapsible="true">
                
            <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel}" var="item" >
                    
                    <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel[item]}" var="itemvalue" >                    
                    <apex:outputText value="{!itemvalue}" />
                    </apex:repeat>
            </apex:repeat>   
            </apex:pageBlockSection>

This code doesnt display anything on screen !

Thank you for your help in advance :)

Hi

New code is more destructive:

Please follow step and let me know:
1) Take this code: 
public map<string,string> getMapFieldLabel(){
        Map<String,String> mapField_Label = new Map<String,String>()
        //List<string> fieldsLabels = new List<string>();
        List<Custom_Object__c> defaultFields = [Select Name from Custom_Object__c where Default__c=True];
        Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> typeMap = Schema.SObjectType.A_second_Custom_Object__c.fields.getMap();
          
        //Get choosen default fields label    
        for(Custom_Object__c defaultField : defaultFields) {
            
            Schema.SObjectField field = typeMap.get(defaultField.Name);
            string fieldLabel =field.getDescribe().getLabel();
            mapField_Label.put(defaultField.Name, fieldLabel);
            //fieldsLabels.add(fieldLabel);
            
            
        }
        system.debug(mapField_Label);
        return mapField_Label;
        
    }
2) In VF page: 
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="3" collapsible="false">
                
            <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel}" var="item" >
                   <apex:outputText value="{!MapFieldLabel[item]}" />
            </apex:repeat>   
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
3) Check in debug log if data is coming in mapField_Label variable.

Hi,

You are trying to iterating Schema.SObjectField in the inner repeat which is not list or iterable.

Here is code which will help you  to understand where you are wrong: 
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="3" collapsible="true">
            <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel}" var="item" >
                    <!-- item contains key value which is string. and when you call  MapFieldLabel[item]                      it returns respective  field label. So, it's return single value which is not iterable inside repeat.

                    // your code
                    -->                  
                    
                    </apex:repeat>
            </apex:repeat>   
            </apex:pageBlockSection>

I am expecting more question as it look like you wanted to achieve something inside inner repeat. Please let me know if I can help you.

<apex:pageBlockSection columns="3" collapsible="true">
                
            <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel}" var="item" >
                    MapKey={!item}<br/>
                    MapValue={!MapFieldLabel[item]}<br/>
            </apex:repeat>   
            </apex:pageBlockSection>

Try that - I think you'll see the keys and values of the map

Hey
@Gulshan Raj11
I tried to convert the Schema.SObjectField Label to a string and to use a Map of lists to iterate over them inn my VF but still not working : 
 
public Map<List<string>,List<string>> getMapFieldLabel(){
        
        system.debug('In the getMapfieldLabel');        
        
        List<string> fieldsLabels = new List<string>();
        List<string> fieldsNames = new List<string>();
        
        List<Proximity_Search_Engine__c> defaultFields = [Select Name from Custom_Object__c where Default__c=True];
        Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> typeMap = Schema.SObjectType.Second_Custom_Object__c.fields.getMap();
          
        //Get choosen default fields label    
        for(Custom_Object__c defaultField : defaultFields) {
            fieldsNames.add(string.ValueOf(defaultField));
            Schema.SObjectField field = typeMap.get(defaultField.Name);
            string fieldLabel = string.valueOF(field.getDescribe().getLabel());
            fieldsLabels.add(fieldLabel);
        }
        mapFieldLabel.put(fieldsNames, fieldsLabels);
        system.debug(mapFieldLabel);
        return mapFieldLabel;
        
    }
When executing the class, the method is not even called...

@JeffreyStevens,
Thanks for the quick answer !
I tried the code u suggested but still not displaying anything.

2) In VF page: 
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="3" collapsible="false">
                
            <apex:repeat value="{!MapFieldLabel}" var="item" >
                   <apex:outputText value="{!MapFieldLabel[item]}" />
            </apex:repeat>   
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
3) Check in debug log if data is coming in mapField_Label variable.

Can you please share what value coming inside variable mapField_Label in debug log. I am sure you are very close.

Thanks
