Salesforce StandardController Methods

Biswajeet October 13, 2017 No Comments

The following methods are for StandardController:

addFields(fieldNames)
When a Visualforce page is loaded, the fields accessible to the page are based on the fields referenced in the Visualforce markup. This method adds a reference to each field specified in fieldNames so that the controller can explicitly access those fields as well.

cancel()
Returns the PageReference of the cancel page.

delete()
Deletes record and returns the PageReference of the delete page.

edit()
Returns the PageReference of the standard edit page.

getId()
Returns the ID of the record that is currently in context, based on the value of the id query string parameter in the Visualforce page URL.

getRecord()
Returns the record that is currently in context, based on the value of the id query string parameter in the Visualforce page URL.

reset()
Forces the controller to reacquire access to newly referenced fields. Any changes made to the record prior to this method call are discarded.

save()
Saves changes and returns the updated PageReference.

view()
Returns the PageReference object of the standard detail page.

Salesforce StandardSetController Methods

The following methods are for StandardSetController:

cancel()
Returns the PageReference of the original page, if known, or the home page.

first()
Returns the first page of records.

getCompleteResult()
Indicates whether there are more records in the set than the maximum record limit. If this is false, there are more records than you can process using the list controller. The maximum record limit is 10,000 records.

getFilterId()
Returns the ID of the filter that is currently in context.

getHasNext()
Indicates whether there are more records after the current page set.

getHasPrevious()
Indicates whether there are more records before the current page set.

getListViewOptions()
Returns a list of the listviews available to the current user.

getPageNumber()
Returns the page number of the current page set. Note that the first page returns 1.

getPageSize()
Returns the number of records included in each page set.

getRecord()
Returns the sObject that represents the changes to the selected records. This retrieves the prototype object contained within the class, and is used for performing mass updates.

getRecords()
Returns the list of sObjects in the current page set. This list is immutable, i.e. you can’t call clear() on it.

getResultSize()
Returns the number of records in the set.

getSelected()
Returns the list of sObjects that have been selected.

last()
Returns the last page of records.

next()
Returns the next page of records.

previous()

setFilterID(filterId)
Sets the filter ID of the controller.

setpageNumber(pageNumber)
Sets the page number.

setPageSize(pageSize)
Sets the number of records in each page set.

setSelected(selectedRecords)
Set the selected records.

Function to Calculate the 18 Character ID From 15 Character ID

Biswajeet October 7, 2017 No Comments

public String Convert15CharTo18CharId(String id) {
    String suffix = '';
    Integer flags;

    for (integer i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        flags = 0;
        for (Integer j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            String c = id.substring(i * 5 + j, i * 5 + j + 1);
            //Only add to flags if c is an uppercase letter:
            if (c.toUpperCase().equals(c) && c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') {
                flags = flags + (1 << j);
            }
        }
        if (flags <= 25) {
            suffix = suffix + 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.substring(flags, flags + 1);
        } else {
            suffix += '012345'.substring(flags - 26, flags - 25);
        }
    }
    String convertId = id + suffix;
    //18 Digit Id with checksum
    System.debug('convertId-' + convertId);
    return 18 digitId;
}

Example:

String Id = '0019000001EJNfj';
String convertedId = Convert15CharTo18CharId(Id);
