Object label name from strings?

Hello,

I have a custom object 'Jobs__c' which contains a picklist field 'Level__c' which containsapi namesof objects as: 'Account', 'Contact', 'Position__c','Applicants__c', 'Skills_sets__c'.

I want to obtain the object label names based on the 'Level__c' values and used them in custom piclist on Visualforce Page.

Please suggest a way to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Mayank

Hi Mayank,

You can refere below code:

public List<String> objLabelName {get;set;}
List<String> objName = new List<String> { 'Account', 'Contact' , 'Position__c'};
    for(String str : objName){
        List<Schema.DescribeSObjectResult> describeSobjectsResult = Schema.describeSObjects(new List<String>{str});
        System.debug(describeSobjectsResult);
        String objectLabel = describeSobjectsResult[0].getLabel();
        System.debug('***'+objectLabel);
        objLabelName.add(objectLabel);
    }

now you can use objLabelName iside you VF page.

If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.
