How can i add element in explicit wait statement in Selenium Webdriver?

Question

    WebElement statusArr[]=new WebElement[6];
    String arr[] = new String[6];       
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
    {
        int j = i+1;
        statusArr[i] = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='body']/ui-view/div[1]/div/div["+j+"]/a/table/tbody/tr[1]/td/div/i"));
        arr[i] = statusArr[i].getAttribute("title");
    }
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
    {
        if(arr[i].equals("Not Provided")||arr[i].equals("Incomplete")){
            wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfNestedElementsLocatedBy(statusArr[i], null));
            statusArr[i].click();
            driver.navigate().back();
        }
    }

Here i am trying to wait for the element to load and then click. But it is not possible. How can I do this?

Please post the relevant HTML and describe the scenario you are trying to accomplish. I think there's probably a better way to do this. That XPath locator is going to be very brittle as long as it is. — JeffC

From visibilityOfNestedElementsLocatedBy docs

An expectation for checking child WebElement as a part of parent element to be visible

In visibilityOfNestedElementsLocatedBy(statusArr[i], null) you are basically waiting for null to be visible. Try visibilityOf instead

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(statusArr[i]));

By the way, when you click on the element and navigate back you will loose the elements in statusArr[] and you will have to relocate them each iteration.

What should i do about navigate then? If i relocate elements each time in iteration then how can I get the count number for which the loop was iterating?
