Is there a way to determine if an object supports list view?

Is there a way to determine if an object supports list view?



I've developed a VF page which shows a list of Objects and based on Object selection it shows list views of that selected object. For some objects like EmailTemplate, Organization etc it throwing system exception "List Controllers not supported for ...."



I'm using below code to fetch list views of Selected Object. However, this code is failing for objects like EmailTemplate, Organization etc



Hence, my question, is there a way to determine if an object supports list view?



String baseQuery = 'Select ID  FROM ' + SelectObject + ' Limit 1'; 

objSetController = new ApexPages.StandardSetController(Database.getQueryLocator(baseQuery));

List < SelectOption > options = objSetController.getListViewOptions();

          I researched something similar recently and stumbled upon across this standard object ListView



          The ListView record tells you if the ListView is SOQL compatible,(which you are trying to do)



          So you go by



          ListView lv = [SELECT IsSoqlCompatible FROM ListView WHERE SobjectType=:SelectObject LIMIT 1];
          
if(lv.IsSoqlCompatible){
          
    String baseQuery = 'Select ID  FROM ' + SelectObject + ' Limit 1'; 
          
    objSetController = new ApexPages.StandardSetController(Database.getQueryLocator(baseQuery));
          
    List < SelectOption > options = objSetController.getListViewOptions();
          
}else{
          
    //ListView SOQL not supported handle here
          

          
}
