Override Standard New button in Salesforce1

Question

I have overridden the standard new button by calling the VF Page which takes me to the edit layout for a specific record type.

For ex: The controller on the VF page constructs a pagereference and returns. new Pagereference('/'+Label.Object_Id+'/e?RecordType='+Label.RecordType_Id);

I have also set the NoOverride parameter to true.

When I try testing it from the Salesforce1 app, it lauches the app again on click of the overridden button.

Any thoughts on how the functionality be achieved in Salesforce1

Answer 1

Avoid using Pagereference methods in salesforce1 and usually i would prefer using @Remote action method to implement logic

Lets take a quick look with sample code below on how to achieve this

function actioninvoke(){
   if( (typeof sforce != 'undefined') && (sforce != null) ) {
   // Salesforce1 Remote Action method built in controller

   }
   else {
   //Action Function of normal App
   }
 }

Visualforce Code

 <apex:CommandButton value="Next" onclick="actioninvoke();" id="cmdNext" />

The advantages of remote action will be ability to callback and in callback we can use navigation specific function of salesforce1 like sforce.one

navigateToSObject(recordId,view)    //Navigates to an sObject record, specified by recordId.view is optional, and specifies the view within record home to select—chatter, related, or   detail.
