Get label for a given record Id

Id recordId = 'xyz';
String objName = recordId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();


I found the object Name but I also want Label for this recordId. How to use getLabel() on a given recordId?

Hi charu,
Sorry but I want label of that record not the name. label will have translated value of name.

To get the label we have getLabel(). but I don't how to use that to get a particular record's label.

Hey Nikhil

Just change getName() to getLabel(), if I understood what you need. If not can you be little more specific
  
String objLabel = recordId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getLabel();

Hi Abdul,
Sorry But this expression will give object-Name label. I want the record label.

Object Name -: Topic 
Record Id -: xyz
Record Name -: Setup 

So I want this Record Name "setup" Label

Nikhil,

CharuDutt provided the answer to your query. I think you should try his solution and if it works mark that answer the best

Sorry but that SOQL query is fetching record name. I check it  by switching the language the translation of that record name is not coming.

Thanks

OK, May be you are looking something like below

You can use ToLabel in SOQL for that but I guess there are some limitations which field you can use there. Please read the above link, it may help you addressing your issue

Hii Nikhil Gupta
Try This Code 
1>           id recordId = 'a002w0000080xtjAAA';

String objName = recordId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getLabel();
system.debug(objName);

(or)
 

2>            id recordId = 'xyz'; 
String objName = recordId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName(); 
system.debug(objName); 
system.debug(database.query('select name from '+ objName+ ' where Id = :recordId'));
Please Mark It as Best If It Helps
Thank You!
