Comparing changed fields on an sobject using Schema.describe

HI, 

 

I'm trying to iterate through all sobject (opportunity) fields and see which ones changed against my trigger map.  

 

Currently 's' is an incompatible key type Schema.SObjectField for MAP<Id, Opportunity>. Any help?

 

fyi Map<Id, Opportunity> newMap = Trigger.newMap()


for(Opportunity o: newMap.values())
{
   for(Schema.Sobjectfield s: SObject.describe('Opportunity'))
   {	
	if(newMap.get(o.Id).s != oldMap.get(o.Id).s)
	{
	   //do stuff in a different class
	}
    }
}

Map<String,SObjectField> fields = trigger.newmap.getsobjecttype().getdescribe().fields.getmap();
for(opportunity record:trigger.new) {
  for(sobjectfield field:fields.values()) {
    if(record.get(field) != trigger.oldmap.get(record.id).get(field)) {
      // There was a change, process.
    }
  }
}

You have to use SObject.get(SObjectField) for a comparison.
