[SalesForce] Salesforce1 navigation javascript library

I have a visualforce page that is overridding the Account New button. To make the New button show up in the Salesforce1 app, the page needs to be enabled for movile devices. This page is very complex and we don't want to use it in the Salesforce1 app.

So to try some things out, I created a new vf page to use for redirection. All it basically has in it is javascript to identify if it's in the salesforce1 app or not, then redirect appropriately.

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){
     isMobile();
});


function isMobile(){

    if( (typeof sforce.one != 'undefined') && (sforce.one != null) ) {

        // In Salesforce1, navigate to create account record standard page
        sforce.one.createRecord("Account");    

    }else{
        //navigate to vf page
        window.location.assign("/apex/VFPage");
    }

}
</script>

Within a browser on a non mobile device, it is redirecting to the VFpage as expected. But when in the Salesforce1 app, after clicking New, it shows a blank page (assuming is my vf page for redirection), but after about 20 seconds, it shows a blank white page, then after about 10 more seconds, finally opens the standard create record page.

Has anyone used the navigation sforce.one javascript object like this yet? Is anyone experiencing lagging performance with salesforce1 app? Is there a better way to do this type of redirection?

Thanks!

I have used the sforce object to navigate directly to an account list view using the sforce.navigateToListView method. See my question How to use the sforce.one.navigateToList method?. I did not experience any lag time. I haven't implemented the createRecord, though.

[SalesForce] salesforce1 navigation usage of sforce.one.navigateToSObject(recordId,view) doesn’t refresh record

As per the updates, the navigateto does not work properly. Seems like this is known issue to salesforce and possible it will be fixed in next few releases. ( safe harbor)

Then what to do meanwhile? I had the same issue and after chatting with Salesforce the solution below is the one that I'm using meanwhile. It works :)

Solution :

 Sfdc.canvas.publisher.publish({name: "publisher.close", payload:{ refresh:"true"}});

Then this could be your page:

 <apex:page showHeader="true" standardController="Account" extensions="AccountController" sidebar="true"> 

 <script type='text/javascript' src='/canvas/sdk/js/publisher.js'/> 
 <script src="https://mobile1.t.salesforce.com/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript" /> 
 <script> 
 function myUpdateAccount() 
 { 
      var accountId = document.getElementById('accountId').value;      
      Visualforce.remoting.Manager.invokeAction(
           '{!$RemoteAction.AccountController.accountUpdateNumberField}', accountId,
                function(result, event) 
                { 
                     //if(result!=null) sforce.one.navigateToSObject(result,"detail"); 
                     Sfdc.canvas.publisher.publish({name: "publisher.close", payload:{ refresh:"true"}}); 
            }); 
 } 
 </script> 
 <input type="text" name="name" id="accountId" value="{!viewState.accountId}"/>      
 <a href="#" data-role="button" class="updateNotify" id="sendInvoicesMyself" onclick="myUpdateAccount()">Update Account</a>           
 </apex:page>

Hope it helps!

[SalesForce] Navigate to Lightning Component from Visualforce in Salesforce1

This have been a puzzle for a long time for me.The fact that you cannot from a visualforce page go to a component, the only way i got it to work is by a little hack :

 window.parent.location = '/one/one.app#ew0KICAgICJjb21wb25lbnREZWYiIDogImM6TEMyOF9HZXN0aW9uQ29tcHRlIiwNCiAgICAiYXR0cmlidXRlcyIgOiB7fQ0KICB9';

from your visualforce page redirect to the parent location where the base64 encoding part represent the json component in base64 :

{"componentDef" : "c:LC28_GestionCompte","attributes" : {}}

from the above code, I am redirecting to the LC28_GestionCompte component. For sure this is not the recommended way, but it is the best option i found so far. And even salesforce said that there is no way for now. I serach for every possible post to be able to do it the nice way, but found none. So think this can help someone.
