RecordTypeInfo Class

Contains methods for accessing record type information for an sObject with associated record types.

Namespace

Schema

Usage

A RecordTypeInfo object is returned from the sObject describe result using the getRecordTypeInfos method. For example:

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult R = Account.SObjectType.getDescribe();
List<Schema.RecordTypeInfo> RT = R.getRecordTypeInfos();

In addition to the getRecordTypeInfos method, you can use the getRecordTypeInfosById and the getRecordTypeInfosByName methods. These methods return maps that associate RecordTypeInfo with record IDs and record labels, respectively.

Example

The following example assumes at least one record type has been created for the Account object:

RecordType rt = [SELECT Id,Name FROM RecordType WHERE SobjectType='Account' LIMIT 1];
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult d = Schema.SObjectType.Account; 
Map<Id,Schema.RecordTypeInfo> rtMapById = d.getRecordTypeInfosById();
Schema.RecordTypeInfo rtById =  rtMapById.get(rt.id);
Map<String,Schema.RecordTypeInfo> rtMapByName = d.getRecordTypeInfosByName();
Schema.RecordTypeInfo rtByName =  rtMapByName.get(rt.name);
System.assertEquals(rtById,rtByName);
