[SalesForce] Get Picklist Values based on Record Type

Am designing a JQuery AutoComplete search box in visualforce page and getting the data source from controller class from two picklist fields(Controlling and dependent). The autocomplete search box works fine but it loads all the values from the picklist fields. I want to load the picklist values based on record type. Here

List<Schema.PicklistEntry> contrEntries = ctrlField.getDescribe().getPicklistValues();
for (Schema.PicklistEntry ple : contrEntries) {
    String label = ple.getLabel();
    objResults.put(label, new List<String>());
    controllingValues.add(label);
}

Can we add the picklist values based on particular record type?.

I found that this can be done using MetaData API, but I don't want to deploy all the MetaData files into our client org.

Can be done using describeLayout?. If yes, please help me to understand.

[SalesForce] Creating Picklist based on a other text field value

This will depend on your archetecture of the question record and your answers.

Lets assume the Object that holds your questions also holds the answers. You can also do this by having an answers object that has a MD relationship to the question object and iterate over those to build the lists.

As an example:

Question Object -> Question_Field__c, Answer_Field__c (Text), isPicklist__c

Then in your controller you populate your answers into the variable you define...

To populate the pick list for the questions with an isPicklist__c = true you would create a method to get the answers as a pick list:

public SelectOption[] populate_Answers(Question__c q){

    String[] tmp = q.Answer_Field__c.split(';');
    SelectOption[] ans = New SelectOption[]{};

    for(String a : tmp){
        ans.add(New SelectOption(a,a));
    }

    return ans;

}

Now, how you use this or populate it on your page you will need to figure out. A wrapper class may be necessary as well as conditional rendering on the VF page to either show a pick list, value, true false, etc.

[SalesForce] Fetching picklist values based on record type

Not sure about ForceTK ,may be this is not implemented by library yet or safe harbour and I am not sure .

But normally through standard REST API we can implement this using below REST Service

/services/data/v33.0/sobjects/Account/describe/layouts/

For different object you can change Object name and versions

/vXX.X/sobjects/Object/describe/layouts/

I just checked my dev console and it does return values as expected .There is a recordtype mappings that can give you various picklists needed

enter image description here

I see you are using visualforce and hence if you use visualforce you can directly call this REST API from Visualforce using Jquery and it will not require any ForceTK(Although I love forceTk)

      <apex:page>
     <apex:includeScript value="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"/>
    <script>
     jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
     // Pull 10 Accounts via the REST API
      $.ajax('/services/data/v33.0/sobjects/Account/describe/layouts/',
    {
      beforeSend: function(xhr) {
        // Set the OAuth header from the session ID
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer {!$Api.Session_ID}');
      },
      success: function(response) {
        // We got 'em - append our records to the HTML list
        $.each(response.records, function(index, record) {
          $('#responselist').append('<li>'+record.recordTypeMappings+'</li>');
        });
      },
      error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        // Oops - what went wrong?
        alert(jqXHR.status + ': ' + errorThrown);
      }
    }
  );
    });
  </script>
   <h1>Test REST API Without Proxy</h1>
     <p>Data:</p>
        <ul id="responselist">
     </ul>
  </apex:page>
