I'm trying to get the DescribeSObjectResult by writing the following code:
public String fObjectName {get;set;}
fObjectName = (String)Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('objname');
DescribeSObjectResult objSchema = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(fObjectName).sObjectType.getDescribe();
Getting error:
Expression of type Schema.SObjectType has no member named sObjectType
The global describe call returns a Map of Strings to sObjectType
Map<String,SObjectType>();
Simply use
Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(fObjectName).getDescribe();
The Error
Expression of type Schema.SObjectType has no member named sObjectType
Also explains that the Schema.SObjectType is the working value and has no member of SObjectType because it is already that
You should probably cache the results of the global describe as well if you plan on using the results again as it is a fairly expensive call.
DescribeSObjectResult objSchema = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(fObjectName).getDescribe(); I get the following error : System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object but I debug the fObjectName and I'm getting the value which is employee__c but if I hardcode like this DescribeSObjectResult objSchema = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('employee__c').getDescribe(); then its working, why is it not taking fObjectName ?
employee__c like you think. Are you sure its 2 __ and not one? There is nothing special about the property that is different than a hardcoded string unless they are not the same
DescribeSObjectResult objSchema = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(string.valueOf(fObjectName)).getDescribe();
