So above when you open the VF page it opens a screen that shows a list of record types, i'm able to get to this page in lightning using a component to urlEvent.fire() to it, also i'm able to get their via URL custom buttons…anyways you pick a record type and hit "Go" which should go to a record form to fill out, with some things pre-filled.
when you hit "go" it calls on an apex method loadAndGo, here's the entire class, but if you scroll down you'll see a
code
some code <—here's the method

So in classic everything works fine, in lightning it'll work only to the first page when i select the record type, when i hit load and go i get an Invalid id: undefined.
the fatal error occurs on FATAL_ERROR Class.New_Sales.: line 62, column 1
parentId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pId');
Which is that line of code, you'll see it next to the >>>>>>>. Now here's the rub, when i did the ol system.debug the parentId was the record Id it was supposed to be. So then i thought "maybe it's the URL redirect thats wrong" so i checked it, on the same record (in both classic and lightning) the newURL is the same, but when the redirect happens in lightning it fails and that error pops up.
I also just copy pasted the system.debug of the new URL directly into classic, it worked, but in lightning i got the same error "invalid id: undefined".
the url redirect takes you to this
/a4W/e?&RecordType=012a0000001RSKdAAO&retURL=%2F0013000000bBDHhAAO&ent=01Ia0000002HmTJ&CF00Na000000BA8E4_lkid=0013000000bBDHhAAO&CF00Na000000BA8E4=ooga+booga+test+LLC
So i'm guessing it's the URL format….but one fun fact, on the
parentId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pId');
I decided, for testing, to simply do this
parentId = "<recordId i'm testing>";
Yes i decided to hardcode it, but all that does is gives me a blank blue lightning experience screen (works in classic).
I'm assuming the structure of the URL redirect is wrong….unless it something else that wrong? If the former are their any resources that exist that go over how to construct a redirect for lightning, such as the one i'm doing? I.E. prepop field data via a url redirect. My googlefuu is failing me in regard to finding any solutions.
EDIT: so it looks like I'll have to use sforce.one.createRecord. But if i have the {!loadAndGo} call JS function, that will do a (pseudocode)
if( $User.UIThemeDisplayed = lightning/mobile) {
call apex method to return a needed array of strings (such as the variables defined in the apex controler selRecTypeId, parentId, fldId_Acct) needed to fill the prepop fields();
sforce.one.createRecord('SALES',(variable from array),{
FirstName : "var from array",
LastName : "var from array",
Custom_Field1__c : "var from array",
Custom_Field2__c :"var from array",
});
} Else { Do old hacky method()}
Best Answer
Navigating to Url like:-
is URL hack which will not work in Lightning. As you are using the visualforce page, I suggest using sforce.one object which works in Lightning desktop and mobile.
Opens the page to create a record for the specified entityName, for example, “Account” or “MyObject__c”. recordTypeId is optional and specifies the record type for the created object. Calling createRecord without providing a recordTypeId may result in an error.
defaultFieldValues is optional and, if provided, prepopulates fields on a record create panel, including fields not displayed on the panel. Users must have create access to fields with prepopulated values. Errors during saving that are caused by field access limitations don’t display error messages.
Reference:- sforce.one
