ListView in Apex Code or Visualforce Page

Hello,

 

I have a requirement where I need to display the columns seleted / defined for a particular listview in a custom visualforce page. 

I know that there is a property ListView. Columns in Metadata API for Salesforce, but I am not sure on how to use it in APEX Code.

Can anyone please help me with regard to this ?? Any examples on how to use this are appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Kartik

                if(accounts == null) accounts = [select name, owner.name from account limit 10];

                return accounts;

        }

Hi Hitesh,

I am not sure if you got my question, I am trying to get the LISTVIEW columns into my apex code, so that I can programatically dynamically change the LISTVIEWS from apex code.

The columns specified for one specific listview are not exposed in a way that is accessible from Apex. I recommend checking out FieldSets for your use case. If you simply need to expose non-hard coded fields into your page and standardsetcontroller can give you what you need then it may be a solution for you. There may also be a way to pass this into apex but I'd like to verify with the Product Manager before having you go down that path.

Hi Andrew

 

We want to create a custom account list similar to Salesforce out of the box account list page. We are able to filter the records in our table on the basis of list views(with the help of filter ID). But we would also like to get the columns dynamically from the list views. Is there a way to get the columns from each list views?

 

Your quick response would really help us in moving forward. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kartik,

I wanna ask you, did you find any solution for this post ? I also need to get listviews in apex to display fully customized VF page.

I just wonder is it possible or not ?

Thanks.

        <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="list"/>
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!listviewoptions}"/>
      </apex:selectList>
    </apex:panelGrid>
    <apex:pageBlockSection >
      <apex:dataList var="a" value="{!accounts}" id="list">
        {!a.name} </apex:dataList>
    </apex:pageBlockSection>
  </apex:form>
  </apex:pageBlock>

You either need to use the Metadata API wsdl in your APEX Code. Please see below link

 

Metadata API

 

OR

 

Use the fieldsets and retrieve the fieldsets using APEX for multiple objects.
