Dynamic Custom Label

Is there a possibility to use dynamic custom labels in apex. I know you can do this with VF, but i can't find it for apex. 

 

Custom label = 'You have used {0} in {1} Hours'

 

in apex

 

String text = Label.used(List<String>('12','2');

Hi,

You can try the below code sample

 

<apex:page controller="clsActionSupport">

  <apex:form >

   <apex:pageBlock >

     <apex:outputPanel id="Text">

         <apex:outputText value="{!count}"> </apex:outputText>

         <apex:actionPoller reRender="Text" interval="5" action="{!increment}"/>

     </apex:outputPanel> 

  

   </apex:pageBlock>

  </apex:form>

</apex:page>

 

public class clsActionSupport

{

    integer count =0;

    public pagereference increment()

    {

        count = count + 1;

        return null;

    }

    public integer getcount()

    {

      return count;

    }

}

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

No this is not what i mean.

Custom label is used for translations of text in visualforce and apex. It is an salesforce object.

but u can try like this

<apex:outputText value="{!$Label.customlabel}">

	<apex:param value="{!value}"/>

</apex:outputText>

I know that solution as well. I need it in a purely apex method. For if you wish to add custom text to an email or use it in a trigger.

Are not you looking for the following syntax? This has been there for a long time.

 

String text = String.format(System.Label.used, List<String>('12','2'));

For Example custom label :-  LabelName = ' Name is {0} is incorrect.';
String errorMessage = System.Label.LabelName ;
        for(Account obj: accountList){
            if(Obj.Name != 'TestAccount'){
              dataTableSetting.addError(String.format(errorMessage, new List<String>{obj.Name}));
            }
        }
