How to fetch piclist values of a field

Hi,

I would like to know how to fetch default piclist values of a field in apex class.

for(Schema.PicklistEntry P : Account.Industry.getDescribe().getPicklistValues())
{
    if(P.isDefaultValue())
        system.debug('==================  ' + P.getValue());    
}

 

 

This would give you the default Picklist value for Account's Industry field. Modify and use the code as per your requirement.

You can get the picklist values using the describe method. Please see the link below. http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_fields_describe.htm
