Trupti Barole Do i need to create a REST API to convert a Lead?
Hi experts,
I'm stuck in developing a hybrid salesforce mobile application.
The scenario is i'm using forcetk.mobilesdk.js for accessing LEAD object in salesforce and i want to display a button CONVERT on clicking which a convert query should get fired and that particular Lead should be converted into Opportunity. There are various APIs in forcetk.mobilesdk.js file to create, delete, retrieve and so on. But i did not find any to convert a Lead to opportunity/account/contact.
Do i need to create a new API so that i can convert LEAD? or there is any alternate way to achieve the same??
If i must create a API, how can i create??
For reference, https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android run an AccountEditor app and understand functionality and please help ASAP.
code sample for creating a record is in code sample.

/*

* @param callback function to which response will be passed
* @param [error=null] function to which jqXHR will be passed in case of error

forcetk.Client.prototype.create = function(objtype, fields, callback, error) {
return this.ajax('/' + this.apiVersion + '/sobjects/' + objtype + '/'
, callback, error, "POST", JSON.stringify(fields));
}

If no method is defined in above sdk, you have to go for rest service. Anyway, you can find it here (http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/50045/how-do-you-convert-a-lead-via-the-rest-api).
