How to retrieve all the values of a drop down using Selenium Web Driver

Now we want to retrieve all the value of any select box then we can use the getOptions method. It will return the complete list of all the values in a drop down field. It takes no parameter and return list of all the values in the select box.
Now if you want to get the all values of month drop down then you can use the getOptions method like below

In First code i am showing you how to print the count of total values
package openBrowserPackage; import java.util.List; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select; public class OpenBrowserClass { public static void main(String[] args) { WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); /* Below line is to open the firefox browser */ driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/"); /* Below code is used to retrieve all values of located select box */ Select month = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("month"))); List<webelement> count = month.getOptions(); System.out.println(count.size()); driver.close(); } }
This will print the total value in the drop down. In this example it is showing 13 because month also in the drop down

Now i am showing you how to print the all values in the console

package openBrowserPackage; import java.util.List; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select; public class OpenBrowserClass { public static void main(String[] args) { WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); /* Below line is to open the firefox browser */ driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/"); /* Below code is used to retrieve all values of located select box */ Select month = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("month"))); List<webelement> count = month.getOptions(); int val = count.size(); for (int i =0; i<val; i++) { String str = count.get(i).getText(); System.out.println(str); } driver.close(); } }

This will print the all values in the drop down. See below snapshot
