[java] How to handle the new window in Selenium WebDriver using Java?

This is my code:

driver.findElement(By.id("ImageButton5")).click();
//Thread.sleep(3000);
String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);
driver.findElement(By.id("txtEnterCptCode")).sendKeys("99219");

Now I have the next error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with id == txtEnterCptCode (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 404 milliseconds.

Any ideas?

I have an utility method to switch to the required window as shown below

public class Utility 
{
    public static WebDriver getHandleToWindow(String title){

        //parentWindowHandle = WebDriverInitialize.getDriver().getWindowHandle(); // save the current window handle.
        WebDriver popup = null;
        Set<String> windowIterator = WebDriverInitialize.getDriver().getWindowHandles();
        System.err.println("No of windows :  " + windowIterator.size());
        for (String s : windowIterator) {
          String windowHandle = s; 
          popup = WebDriverInitialize.getDriver().switchTo().window(windowHandle);
          System.out.println("Window Title : " + popup.getTitle());
          System.out.println("Window Url : " + popup.getCurrentUrl());
          if (popup.getTitle().equals(title) ){
              System.out.println("Selected Window Title : " + popup.getTitle());
              return popup;
          }

        }
                System.out.println("Window Title :" + popup.getTitle());
                System.out.println();
            return popup;
        }
}

It will take you to desired window once title of the window is passed as parameter. In your case you can do.

Webdriver childDriver = Utility.getHandleToWindow("titleOfChildWindow");

and then again switch to parent window using the same method

Webdriver parentDriver = Utility.getHandleToWindow("titleOfParentWindow");

This method works effectively when dealing with multiple windows.

I have a sample program for this:

public class BrowserBackForward {

/**
 * @param args
 * @throws InterruptedException 
 */
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://seleniumhq.org/");
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    //maximize the window
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Documentation")).click();
    System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());
    driver.navigate().back();
    System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());
    Thread.sleep(30000);
    driver.navigate().forward();
    System.out.println("Forward");
    Thread.sleep(30000);
    driver.navigate().refresh();

}

}

                string BaseWindow = driver.CurrentWindowHandle;
                ReadOnlyCollection<string> handles = driver.WindowHandles;
                foreach (string handle in handles)
                {
                    if (handle != BaseWindow)
                    {
                        string title = driver.SwitchTo().Window(handle).Title;
                        Thread.Sleep(3000);
                        driver.SwitchTo().Window(handle).Title.Equals(title);
                        Thread.Sleep(3000);
                    }
                }

i was having some issues with windowhandle and tried this one. this one works good for me.

String parentWindowHandler = driver.getWindowHandle(); 
String subWindowHandler = null;

Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> iterator = handles.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()){
    subWindowHandler = iterator.next();
    driver.switchTo().window(subWindowHandler);

    System.out.println(subWindowHandler);
}


driver.switchTo().window(parentWindowHandler); 

Set<String> windows = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> itr = windows.iterator();

//patName will provide you parent window
String patName = itr.next();

//chldName will provide you child window
String chldName = itr.next();

//Switch to child window
driver.switchto().window(chldName);

//Do normal selenium code for performing action in child window

//To come back to parent window
driver.switchto().window(patName);
