get value of custom field from custom object

Hi,

 

I need get the values of custom fields from custom object using sObject.

I have tried with below code

 

Employee__c account = new Employee__c();

       Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> sobjectSchemaMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();

           //The describeSObjects() call returns an array of DescribeSObjectResult objects.

           Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objDescribe = sobjectSchemaMap.get('Employee__c').getDescribe();

            Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = objDescribe.fields.getMap();   

       

             for(Schema.SObjectField fieldDef : fieldMap.values())

            {

                Schema.Describefieldresult fieldDescResult = fieldDef.getDescribe();

                String name = fieldDescResult.getName();

                System.debug(name);

                System.debug(account.get(name));

        }

 

here I m able to get the custom fileds but not values.

Plz suggest....

 

Thanks....

Create a dynamic SOQL while iterating through the list of fields above and execute using Database.query.

Your first line of code just sets up a new Employee SObject. You will need to initialise this account object with a SOQL in order for your debug statement to return values.

For this initialise this account object with a SOQL.

If we use SOQL statement, In future if we add any new custom field we need  to change the SOQL rt?

So with out going to change apex class Is there any other approach?

Please suggest....
