I am trying to create a flow which creates an account record and then navigates to the newly created record detail page



VF Code



<apex:page Controller="AccFlowController" TabStyle="Account">
<br/>
<flow:interview name="CreateAccount" interview="{!myflow}" finishlocation="{!AID}" />




Apex Class code



 public class AccFlowController{

public Flow.Interview.Quick_Account myFlow { get; set; }

public String getmyID() {
if (myFlow==null) return '';
else return myFlow.accountId;
}

public PageReference getOID(){
PageReference p = new PageReference('https://dev-dev ed.my.salesforce.com/'+getmyID());
p.setRedirect(true);
return p;
}

}


However, when I try to save the class it is showing




Error: Compile Error: Variable does not exist: accountId




My flow has the following variable present



enter image description here

          According to the documentation on Getting Flow Variables, you should call myFlow.getVariableValue:



          String accountId = (String)myFlow.getVariableValue('accountId');

          • I tried it as well. But (String)myFlow.getVariableValue('accountId'); just fetches null even though the record is successfully created. @AdrianLarson

          • That seems like a problem with your flow, not your Apex. This answer resolves what you were doing wrong in the code you posted.
