how to get Object ID

Guys,

 

 

I am using a Command link where user will be guided to Record creatiion on an object.

 

When I try this for packaging, the object ID of my sandbox and other sandbox differ.

 

How to manage this?

Guys,
Thanks for your replies.
Got the solution for it.
Schema.Describesobjectresult result = Schema.Sobjecttype.SMS_Gateway__C;
string objId = result.getKeyPrefix()+ '/e';

 

The above code gets the object ID.

Hi Charun,

 

This is obvious, we can not hardcode the ID because it is organization specific. To solve this you can create a custom setting for it and put your hardcode ids in it, so that after package you just have to change the IDs in custom setting and use those custom setting values in your code.

 

Let me know if it still not resolves your problem.

 

Thanks

How you are using commandLink to create the record on object level?

Are you building any URL or it's in code part ?

Bhawani,

 

I suppose the link is on the visualforce page from where user will be redirected to the creation of object record.
