kriiyer Creating an attachment object from an Apex class
Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Salesforce and intend to create an attachment object through a method in my Apex class. My code doesnt throw any error, however the attachment object does not get inserted.
Heres my code.
Code:
public void saveAttachment(){
String encodedContentsString = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('fileContents');
Id accountId = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('accountId');
Attachment attachment = new Attachment();
attachment.Body = Blob.valueOf(encodedContentsString);
attachment.Name = String.valueOf('test.txt');
attachment.ParentId = accountId;
insert attachment;
}Am I missing out on anything here or is this just not the right way to create an attachment. I also pass the required parameters i.e. fileContents (this is a Base64 encoded string) and accountId (this is supposed to be the parentId for the attachment) Kindly advise.
That looks ok to me. I've done this before and the only things I have to add are that I would also set the ContentType = 'txt' and make sure that there is text in the encodedContentsString.
Other than that it looks fine. It is getting called, right?
