Handling Drop Down using Selenium with Java

 

Handling Drop Down:

    isDisplayed(): Determine if an element is displayed or not.

    isEnabled(): Determine if an element is enabled or not.

    

    selectByVisibleText(): This method selects the dropdown based on visible text

    selectByValue(): This method selects the dropdown based on the value attribute.

    selectByIndex(): This method selects the dropdown based on the index number.

.Example:

// First we need to get the main dropdown WebElement (select tag)

WebElement sdropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("tcg"));

// Then create an Object instance for Select Class(Pre-defined Class)

Select dpdown = new Select(sdropdown);

//To select an option by using Visible Text 

dpdown.selectByVisibleText(India);

//dpdown.selectByValue(ind); 

//dpdown.selectByIndex(4);

isMultiple():

    We can use this method to ensure whether the specified dropdown is a multi-select dropdown or not. This method returns True when the corresponding dropdown is multi-select. 

    That means In some dropdowns, we can able to select two or more elements at a time. In that situation by using 'isMultiple()' method we can find whether it was a multi-select dropdown or not.

Example Program:

WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.id("tcg"));

Select s = new Select(ele);

if(s.isMultiple())

{

    System.out.println("The Dropdown is Multi-Select");

}

else

{

    System.out.println("The Dropdown is not Multi-Select");

}

getOptions():

    We can use this method to get all options in the specified dropdown.

Example Program:(To print all options in the dropdown)

{

    WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.id("tcg"));

    Select s = new Select(ele);

    List<WebElement> l = s.getOptions();

    int size = l.size();

    for(int i=0; i<size; i++)

    {

        String options = l.get(i).getText();

        System.out.println(options);

    }

}
