How to get the label Names for Object's field

Hi,

 

I want to fetch the list of label names for all the fields of an Object....I got some code to get field labels of an Object 

 

i.e. <apex:column title=”{!$ObjectType.OpportunityLineItem.fields.Quantity.label}” headerValue=”{!$ObjectType.OpportunityLineItem.fields.Quantity.label}” width=”50px”>

 

But I want to get the list of all field labels by Apex..

I got the API name of all fields like this 

 

 String type='Account';

Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> schemaMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType leadSchema = schemaMap.get(type);
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = leadSchema.getDescribe().fields.getMap();


for (String fieldName: fieldMap.keySet()) {

System.debug('##Field API Name='+fieldName);// list of all field API name
}

 

 

 

But I need to get the label name..

 

Please help

 String type='Account';

Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> schemaMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType leadSchema = schemaMap.get(type);
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = leadSchema.getDescribe().fields.getMap();


for (String fieldName: fieldMap.keySet()) {

System.debug('##Field API Name='+fieldName);// list of all field API name

 

fieldMap.get(fieldName).getDescribe().getLabel();//It provides to get the object fields label.
}

Hi cloudmania,

 

How to put these labels on visualforce page in a Table?

 

Thanks,

It ıs simple.. 

public List<String> AllLabels{get;set;}

//Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list

 String type='Account';

Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> schemaMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType leadSchema = schemaMap.get(type);
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = leadSchema.getDescribe().fields.getMap();


for (String fieldName: fieldMap.keySet()) {

System.debug('##Field API Name='+fieldName);// list of all field API name

 

AllLabels.add(fieldMap.get(fieldName).getDescribe().getLabel());//It provides to get the object fields label.
}

 

<apex:pageBlockTable var="lab" value="{!AllLabels}">

<apex:column headerValue="Labels">

   {!lab}

</apex:column>

</apex:pageBlockTable>

Take this one further.  How would you return the Id's for the Object's fields instead of the label names?

How do I sort the object names(a to z) before passing them to the visualforce page?

Keshin,

Not really for you, but for those who come after, at the end of your query add "ORDER BY 'my_field_name' ASC".
