I want to convert the list of string in sObject to use the following line.

 

List<String> a=new List<String>();a.add(sObject.valueOf('Account'));

a.add('Contact');

a.add('opportunity');

a.add('Quote');

a.add('Account');

 

for(String x:a)

{

Map<String,sObjectField> fmap=Schema.sObjectType.x.fields.getMap();

}

// but it  showing error. How i convert a string into Sobject.

You need to do it like this

 

 

List<String> a=new List<String>();
a.add('Account');
a.add('Contact');
a.add('opportunity');
a.add('Quote');

 

<String,Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
//This will have obj name as key and field map as value
Map<String , Map<String,Schema.SObjectField> > mapObj_FielMap = new Map<String , Map<String,Schema.SObjectField> >();

for(String objName : a)
{
Schema.SObjectType sobjType = gd.get(objName);
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = sobjType.getDescribe();
Map<String,Schema.SObjectField> M = r.fields.getMap();
mapObj_FielMap.put(objName , M);
}

 I hope will help you , please ask if any confusion.
