To find a particular dropdown box element:

Select gender = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("gender")));

To get the list of all the elements contained in the dropdown box:

for(int j=1;j<3;j++)
    System.out.println(gender.getOptions().get(j).getText());

To select it through visible text displayed when you click on it:

gender.selectByVisibleText("Male");

To select it by index (starting at 0):

gender.selectByIndex(1);

You can use  Select  class of selenium WebDriver as posted by Maitreya  Sorry  but I m a bit confused about  for selecting gender from drop down why to compare string with  Germany   Here is the code snippet   Select gender   new Select driver findElement By id  gender      gender selectByVisibleText  Male Female      Import import org openqa selenium support ui Select  after adding the above code  Now gender will be selected which ever you gave   Male Female
