How loop drop down value using Selenium JAVA

Question

I have a dropdown with some countries as follows,

I want to send the values US,CA,AF,AL,DZ,AS,AD to an array, loop it and print by using Selenium and Java.

I tried the following

WebElement elementdrop = d.findElement(By.xpath("path"));
List<WebElement> dropdownvalues = d.findElements(By.xpath("path"));
for(WebElement value:dropdownvalues)
{ 
  String pcvalues=value.getText();
  System.out.println("value names" + pcvalues);
 }

This will print United States Canada Afghanistan Albania etc. But I want like US CA AF AL DZ AS AD

 WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.name("Country"));

 List<WebElement> options = dropdown.findElements(By.tagName("option"));

 Iterator<WebElement> it=options.iterator();

   while(it.hasNext())
    {
      System.out.println(it.next().getAttribute("Value"));
    }

Give this a try and let me know if it works.

Also I need to do some thing like this. I have the country code stored in one variable like String CODE = "CA"; then, I need to check whether the CODE is available in dropdown. If it available , print System.out.println("Country available to choose"); else print System.out.println("Country not available to choose"); Could you please modify this code for this issue?

String CODE = "CA"; WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.name("Country")); List<WebElement> options = dropdown.findElements(By.tagName("option")); Iterator<WebElement> it=options.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { if(it.next().getAttribute("Value")==CODE){ print System.out.println("Country available to choose"); } else { print System.out.println("Country not available to choose"); } }

Yeah you can do that whats the issue you are facing?

I have list of country codes. I want to check whether these country codes are matching with the drop down value.

You might have to brush up on coding skills. In this scenario as you have the value you should be able to use it for your calculation. Looking at your code what i see is you could use 'equalsIgnoreCase' instead of== that should resolve your issue.
