I am trying to display only selected fields based on selected object dynamically, Now i am able to display all fields but i need to display only seleted fields. Can anyone please guide me in this. Please find my below code.
Visualforce page:

<apex:page controller="Sample" >
<apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection >
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                <apex:outputLabel value="Objects"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>        
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                <apex:selectList size="1" value="{!obj}" >
                    <apex:selectOptions value="{!objs}"/>
                </apex:selectList>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>                      
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageblockButtons >
            <apex:commandButton value="Fetch Fields" action="{!fetchFields}" reRender="flds"/>
        </apex:pageblockButtons>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    <apex:pageblock id="flds" title="Fields">
        <apex:pageblockTable value="{!objFields}" var="f">
            <apex:column value="{!f}" />
        </apex:pageblockTable>
    </apex:pageblock>    
</apex:form>    
</apex:page> 

Apex controller:

public class Sample 
{ 
    public String obj;
    public List<String> objFields {get;set;}
    
    public Sample() 
    {    
    }
    public String getobj()
    {
        return obj;
    }
     public void setobj(String obj)
    {
        this.obj = obj;
    }   
    
    public List<SelectOption> getobjs()
    {
        List<Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().Values();    
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
               
        for(Schema.SObjectType f : gd)
        {
            options.add(new SelectOption(f.getDescribe().getName(),f.getDescribe().getName()));
        }
        return options;
    }
  
    public void fetchFields()
    { 
        List<String> fields = new List<String>();
        Map<String , Schema.SObjectType> globalDescription = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
        System.debug('Selected Object is ' + obj);
        Schema.sObjectType objType = globalDescription.get(obj); 
        System.debug('Object Type is ' + objType);
        Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r1 = objType.getDescribe(); 
        
        Map<String , Schema.SObjectField> mapFieldList = r1.fields.getMap();  

        for(Schema.SObjectField field : mapFieldList.values())  
        {  
            Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = field.getDescribe();  
            
            if(fieldResult.isAccessible())  
            {  
                System.debug('Field Name is ' + fieldResult.getName());
                fields.add(fieldResult.getName());
            }  
        }
        List<String> so = new List<String>();
        for(String f : fields)
        {
            so.add(f);
        } 
        objFields = so;       
    }   
}
