Swamy P convert string to sobjectfield API name
Hello Everyone,
I was trying to Convert String to a SobjectField API Name but unfortunately not able to convert it, here is my code.
Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('O_Product__c').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
Map<String,String> POIMap= new Map<String,String>(); -->Here In this map I'm capturing Field Label and Name
for(Schema.SObjectField sfield : fieldMap.Values())
{
schema.describefieldresult dfield = sfield.getDescribe();
POIMap.put(dfield.getLabel(),dfield.getname());
}
String fldApi = POIMap.get('Value for '+newLead.CurrencyIsoCode); --> Here I want to convert "fldApi" into SobjectField API Name
How can we Convert it String into Field API Name?

public class FieldMap{
public static void GetFielsName() {
list<String> fieldStr = new List<String>();
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> schemaFieldMap = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe().fields.getMap();
for (String field : schemaFieldMap.keySet()) {
fieldStr.add(field);
}
integer cnt = 0;
for(String f:fieldStr) {
System.debug('---- Field[' + cnt + '] :' + f);
cnt = cnt + 1;
}
}
}
If what are asking as above.
You can try like this:
String testString = 'Account.example__c';
List<String> splitString = testString.split('\\.');
Schema.SobjectField theField = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(splitString[0]).getDescribe().fields.getMap().get(splitString[1]);
This obviously has no error handling in it, but hopefully it gets you started.
Or breaking this down to understand it:
String testString = 'Account.example__c';
List<String> splitString = testString.split('\\.');
// store the object/field names
String objectName = splitString[0];
String fieldName = splitString[1];
// get the SObjectType
Schema.SObjectType objectType = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(objectName);
// get the fields on the object
Map<String, SObjectField> fieldMap = objectType.getDescribe().fields.getMap();
// The key to the map is the API name of the field
Schema.SobjectField theField = fieldMap.get(fieldName);
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
