Get the instance url in apex code

Hi All,

 

  Anybody know how to get the instance url in apex code. My requirement is such that , a mail should be sent to  a user of the instance which containing  hyperlink to a vf page something like  "/apex/merge_profiles?id=....". Since  I need to use absolute url to open salesforce page from gmail or any mail , I have to  use the server name something like that na12 , ap1 ....

So the resultant url should become like   "https://na12.salesforce.com/apex/merge_profiles?id=".

 

Since I cannot hard code the  server name na12 or ap1, I should get it programatically. 

 

Please share anybody know this...

 

Thanks in Advance,

Shebin Mathew

You can try

 

Following methods

 

  • ApexPages.currentPage().getUrl()   = Gives page name
  • ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Host') => gives Host Id
  • Site.getCurrentSiteUrl()  => Site URL

Thanks

Hello Nik,

 

 First of all Thanks alot for your support.

 

 My code is running in trigger and it is not related to a page so I cant use ApexPages.....

 

 I got a solution which is Apex  URL class there is one method getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm().

 

Currently I am doing testing for the same hope it will become success.

 

Anyway Thanks alot for your Kind Support.
