I have a picklist defined in vf page and I have created a custom setting (Countries__c ) which has a field CountryCode__c .
so its like this
Australia  CA
India        IN
America   USA

when the visual force page loads I want the picklist values to be sorted but it is not happening.

public class someclass
{
private List<SelectOption> countryCodeList = new List<SelectOption>();


    //Holds the Country Code for the selected option

    public String selectedCountryCode {get; set;}

   }

public  List<SelectOption> getCountryCodes() 
   {
        if(countryCodeList.isEmpty())
        {
           
          for(Countries__c country :Countries__c.getAll().values())
          {

            countryCodeList.add(new SelectOption(country.CountryCode__c, country.Name));
          }

        }

        countryCodeList.sort();  //doesnt work
        return countryCodeList;
   }

Please help me out.

Thanks

I have two custom objects fan and preferences.
IN fan object I have email,birthdate field and in preference sobject I have a multi select picklist wihich has a default value as ''ALTERNATIVE / INDIE'.

Preference object has a lookup to Fan object.

The email field(mandatory) is masked with asterisk, so when the page loads the code masks the contents and when the user clicks save button page is refreshed and email field value is masked.

Also when the page loads I  append an ID to the url to fetch the values.
Here is a piece of code .

public class PrefCenterCtrl{
      
    public String fanDOB { get; set; }
    public String fanCountry_Region { get; set; }
    public String fanEmail { get; set; } 
    public String fan_email{get;set;}  

     public String encryptedfanID{get;set;}
    
    public String mid{get;set;}

Hi
I having a custom objectProfile which has got mobile number field , Datatype=phone

Two things happen when the page loads
a) I append an ID to the URL so I will fetch all values into the respective controls
b) If mobile phone exists then it should be masked , for ex: *************

If mobile number is changed then it stores mobile number sobject field correctly without asterisk.
But if mobile number is not changed then it stores asterisk in sobject field .

any help will be rewarded.
Here is my code:

public class PrefCenterCTRL {

    
    public String fanMobile { get; set; } //masked value

     public PrefCenterCTRL()
    {
        encryptedfanID=ApexPages.currentpage().getparameters().get('id');
               
        if(String.isBlank(encryptedfanID))
        {
                ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error: Invalid Id.');
                ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
                return;
        }
        else
        {
          try
          {
            fetchfanvalues();
          }
          catch(System.QueryException ex){
                
              Apexpages.addMessage(new Apexpages.Message(Apexpages.Severity.ERROR, 'No Record'));
          }
          
        }
        
      }
        
    public void fetchfanvalues()
    {
         fan = new fan__c();
         
         fan=[SELECT id, Mobile_Phone__c,
              FROM fan__c WHERE Encrypted_ID__c=:encryptedfanID];

            fanMobile=maskPhone(fan.Mobile_Phone__c);
       }      
      }}

//save the values
  public void SaveValues()
    {
            
      if (fan != NULL)
      {

Hello
I have a visual force page purely designed using HTML5.
I have a inputText field called email stored inside a custom object preferences.

If the value in the inputText field changes then I want to capture the changed value into my apex controller for further processing.

Here is what I am trying to achieve.

public class mycontroller {

 public String fanEmail{get;set;}
}

<apex:page controller="mycontroller docType="html-5.0">
<body>
<div class="form-group label-floating">
 <apex:form
  <label class="control-label">EMAIL *</label>
   <apex:inputText value="{!Email}" id="memail" 
                              onchange="doSearch()';" 
                             styleClass="form-control"/>
           </div>
 <apex:commandButton value="SAVE CHANGES" action="{!btn_profile_saveChanges}" styleClass="btn btn-success"/>

</apex:form>
</apex:page>

I know that we can use onchange event of <apex:inputText> to achieve this and create a javascript but not sure how to proceed further.

any help will be rewarded.

Hello 
I have a custom object fan which has three fields, email , firstname and lastname , email field being mandatory.
first time when page  loads, I append an ID known as encryptedfanID to the browser URL , thereby it loads the respective values into the fields.
so this part is working fine
suppose if I do not append any ID to the URL and hit the save button without entering any valies then it throws error " ateempt to deference a null object" error.

a piece of code explaining the above is provided.

public class PrefCenterCTRL{

    //Profile Tab 
     public String fanLastName { get; set; }

I have two custom objects fan and preferences.
IN fan object I have email,birthdate field and in preference sobject I have a multi select picklist wihich has a default value as ''ALTERNATIVE / INDIE'.

Preference object has a lookup to Fan object.

The email field(mandatory) is masked with asterisk, so when the page loads the code masks the contents and when the user clicks save button page is refreshed and email field value is masked.

Also when the page loads I  append an ID to the url to fetch the values.
Here is a piece of code .

public class PrefCenterCtrl{
      
    public String fanDOB { get; set; }
    public String fanCountry_Region { get; set; }
    public String fanEmail { get; set; } 
    public String fan_email{get;set;}  

     public String encryptedfanID{get;set;}
    
    public String mid{get;set;}
    
    public fan__c fan{get;set;}
      
    public Preference__c pref;
    public boolean Genre_Alternative_Indie { set; get; }

    private List<SelectOption> countryCodeList = new List<SelectOption>();

     public PrefCenterCTRL()
    {
        encryptedfanID='';
        mid='';

Hi
I having a custom objectProfile which has got mobile number field , Datatype=phone

Two things happen when the page loads
a) I append an ID to the URL so I will fetch all values into the respective controls
b) If mobile phone exists then it should be masked , for ex: *************

If mobile number is changed then it stores mobile number sobject field correctly without asterisk.
But if mobile number is not changed then it stores asterisk in sobject field .

any help will be rewarded.
Here is my code:

public class PrefCenterCTRL {

    
    public String fanMobile { get; set; } //masked value

     public PrefCenterCTRL()
    {
        encryptedfanID=ApexPages.currentpage().getparameters().get('id');
               
        if(String.isBlank(encryptedfanID))
        {
                ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error: Invalid Id.');
                ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
                return;
        }
        else
        {
          try
          {
            fetchfanvalues();
          }
          catch(System.QueryException ex){
                
              Apexpages.addMessage(new Apexpages.Message(Apexpages.Severity.ERROR, 'No Record'));
          }
          
        }
        
      }
        
    public void fetchfanvalues()
    {
         fan = new fan__c();
         
         fan=[SELECT id, Mobile_Phone__c,
              FROM fan__c WHERE Encrypted_ID__c=:encryptedfanID];
            
       if(!string.isBlank(fan.Mobile_Phone__c))
       {
            fan_Mobile=fan.Mobile_Phone__c;
            fanMobile=maskPhone(fan.Mobile_Phone__c);
       }      
      }}

//save the values
  public void SaveValues()
    {
            
      if (fan != NULL)
      {
              
         
      if (fanMobile.equals(maskPhone(fanMobile)))
      {
          fan.Mobile_Phone__c=fan_Mobile;
      }
      else
      {
      
       fan.Mobile_Phone__c=string.valueOf(fanMobile);
      
      }

public PageReference btn_profile_saveChanges()
    {
        SaveValues();
        return null;
    }
  }
<apex:page controller="PrefCenterCTRL" docType="html-5.0">

           <apex:inputText value="{!fanMobile}" styleClass="form-control"/>

Hello
I have a visual force page purely designed using HTML5.
I have a inputText field called email stored inside a custom object preferences.

If the value in the inputText field changes then I want to capture the changed value into my apex controller for further processing.

Here is what I am trying to achieve.

public class mycontroller {

 public String fanEmail{get;set;}
}

<apex:page controller="mycontroller docType="html-5.0">
<body>
<div class="form-group label-floating">
 <apex:form
  <label class="control-label">EMAIL *</label>
   <apex:inputText value="{!Email}" id="memail" 
                              onchange="doSearch()';" 
                             styleClass="form-control"/>
           </div>
 <apex:commandButton value="SAVE CHANGES" action="{!btn_profile_saveChanges}" styleClass="btn btn-success"/>

</apex:form>
</apex:page>

I know that we can use onchange event of <apex:inputText> to achieve this and create a javascript but not sure how to proceed further.

any help will be rewarded.

Hello 
I have a custom object fan which has three fields, email , firstname and lastname , email field being mandatory.
first time when page  loads, I append an ID known as encryptedfanID to the browser URL , thereby it loads the respective values into the fields.
so this part is working fine
suppose if I do not append any ID to the URL and hit the save button without entering any valies then it throws error " ateempt to deference a null object" error.

a piece of code explaining the above is provided.

public class PrefCenterCTRL{

    //Profile Tab 
     public String fanLastName { get; set; }
    public String fanFirstName { get; set; }
    public String fanEmail { get; set; }    
    public String encryptedfanID{get;set;}
    public fan__c fan{get;set;}
