Setting finishLocation passing arguments from the flow

How can I pass arguments from a flow to a URLFOR finishLocation? If I have an output variable in the flow, that is a 18-digit ID, can I reference it to build my URLFOR with something like {!flow.varID} ?

I'm trying to build something like

<apex:page>
   <flow:interview name="myFlow" finishLocation="{URLFOR('{!myFlow.varID}')"/>
<apex:page>

I've no experience building VF or Apex, so I would appreciate any help!

Kind regards,

Hi Ana,

You will need to use an "Interview" attribute in your flow:interview component and use a custom apex controller to achieve this.

Here are a couple of simple examples:

Hi Shanshank,

Thank you, both the VF page and the Apex controller worked. And now I'm being direct to where I want to.

I'm using this to redirect the user to different record types, and to do so, while the flow runs, I'm storing the varRecordTypeId depending on some choices.

Is there a way I can end my flow without an additional screen? 
I'll explain a bit more:

My flow:

1) Screen with a picklist
2) Decision to split the different choices
3) Assignment to populate the variable varRecordType according to each choice

I was only able to make everything work adding another screen, and I think this is what actually saves the variable

4) Screen just saying thank you

without this final screen the stored variable is null.

I would like to trigger my controller URL just after the first screen. Is it possible?
Maybe finishLocation work only with the "Finish" button. If I have only 1 screen, I get only the "Next" button.

Thanks for your help again!
