Salesforce 1 Platform | Unsupported Visualforce tags

Leave a Comment

While attending Salesforce Elevate in Austin, I discussed this issue with +Dave Carroll  about Salesforce 1 Platform not completely supporting <apex:details> and <apex:relatedlist> tag. Though the use case, I designed here would rarely be needed but I came across this experimentally while working with my manager.

I am interested to know the list the visualforce tags that Salesforce 1 do not supports.

Salesforce just responded though 



To explain in few steps, lets jump to the code. I actually designed a custom visualforce page list all accounts in my developer account. The code is simple and shown here

Controller Code

Account list in Visualforce 


Accounts list in Salesforce 1



On clicking any account the user lands on detail page of account, where I used <apex:relatedList> tag and ideally the details has to be shown maintaining the consistency of UI for Salesforce 1 but this looks like its not completely supported here

Jumping back to Salesforce 1, this is how pages looks with <apex:relatedlist> tag, clearly here layout is little off the format and doesn't completely bring Salesforce UI experience.

While on the other hand, this is how the expected layout should look like on Salesforce 1 Platform.

The overall objective was to share that some visualforce tage like <apex:details> and <apex:relatedlist> is not properly supported here that actually lack the consistency in user experience. I am sure Salesforce 1 documentation should also be adding list of tags not supported while designing Salesforce 1 applications. In case, if I miss anything in here, I would be glad to have some suggestions here
