How to count the number of options in a select drop down box in Selenium WebDriver using Java?

Question

I have Select Dropdown list with this:

xpath //*[@id="ddlTablePay"]

I need to count the number of options in this drop-down. Thank You

As the element as ID, you should use ID instead of xpath. Because ID is more preferable than xpath. — Ripon Al Wasim, Sep 02 '16 at 11:43

Use .getOptions() method and store them in a list .Then find its size.

Select se = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("select drop down locator")));

List<WebElement> l = se.getOptions();
l.size();

String[] options = driver.findElement(By.id("dropdown")).getText().split("\n");
options.length;

Use .getXpathCount() method

int numOptions = selenium.getXpathCount("//*[@id='ddlTablePay']/option").intValue();

optionItems = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@id='ddlTablePay']"))
print "Total Elements " + str(len(optionItems.options))

//To count the number of options

Select dropDown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("ddlTablePay")));
List<WebElement> elementCount = dropDown.getOptions();
System.out.println("Number of items: " + elementCount.size());

//To get and print all the Options

Select dropDown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("ddlTablePay")));
        List <WebElement> elementCount = dropDown.getOptions();
        int itemSize = elementCount.size();
        for(int i = 0; i < itemSize ; i++){
            String optionsValue = elementCount.get(i).getText();
            System.out.println(optionsValue);
        }

I have used ID instead of xpath though xpath also definitely works. ID is more preferable than xpath if any control/element has ID. — Ripon Al Wasim, Sep 02 '16 at 12:11
