[SalesForce] How to – Redirect to object list view from VF in Lightning Experience

Hi Ajay Sharma,

     View mode overriding with visualforce is not supported in Lightning experience.

Reference: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/lex_dev_visualforce/lex_dev_visualforce_known_issues

I hope this answers your question.

In the end it was sufficient for us to assume that the screen was being launched from the List View. If we need variations then I think we'll try to make a VF component and wrap that with different pages for different contexts. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

For now we have the following on the VF controller:

public String getReferer(){
    Id filterId = setController.getFilterId();
    String baseUrl = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Referer');
    String fullUrl = baseUrl + 'one/one.app#/sObject/Contact/list?filterName=' + filterId;
    return fullUrl;
}

In the VF we then pass a handler into the component when we construct it:

closePopoverHandler = function( event )  {
                                            window.top.location = '{!referer}' ;
                                         };


$Lightning.use( "c:OurLightningApp", function() {
      $Lightning.createComponent( "c:OurLightningComponent",
                                  { param1: 'value1' },
                                  "DivToReplace",
                                  function(cmp) {
                                          $A.eventService.addHandler({
                                               event: 'force:closeQuickAction',
                                               handler: closePopoverHandler
                                           });
                                   });
                               });

And then ensure that the LightningApp has the following dependancy:

<aura:dependency resource="markup://force:*" type="EVENT"/>

That said, as an alternative for finding the URL to return to - a more generic solution would be to use the ApexPages parameters, which sometimes contains the return url.

String retUrl = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('vfRetURLInSFX' );
if ( String.isNotEmpty( retUrl ) ) {
    //
    // the retUrl is in the parameters, so we should just return it
    //
    return retUrl;
}
//
// We can assume have been launched from a related list on an object, and so the url has to be constructed
//
String baseUrl = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Referer');
return baseUrl + 'one/one.app#/sObject/' + apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('id');
