There is a drop down in that selected any index value using "selectedbyindex(i)" now i need the value which i selected in drop down to validate the value. Please let me know how we can achieve this thing.

Find the set of code

WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("portfolioid"));

Select s = new Select(dropdown);

s.selectByVisibleText("My Portfolio");

s.selectByIndex(2);
// System.out.println(s.getFirstSelectedOption());

Before this... can you put a delay of 5 sec?

Thread.sleep(5000)

Select s = new Select(dropdown);

Hi Team,

Thanks for quick response.

I am able to select the value from drop down but after selection how we can get it selected text means what value currently selected?

 

Eg :

WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("portfolioid"));

Select s = new Select(dropdown);

s.selectByVisibleText("My Portfolio");

s.selectByIndex(2);

After above line how we can get the selected drop down value?
