I need to check the existence of Alert in WebDriver   Sometimes it pops up an alert but sometimes it will not pop up  I need to check if the alert exists first  then I can accept or dismiss it or it will say  no alert found

I would suggest to use ExpectedConditions and alertIsPresent(). ExpectedConditions is a wrapper class that implements useful conditions defined in ExpectedCondition interface.

public boolean isAlertPresent(){
    boolean foundAlert = false;
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 0 /*timeout in seconds*/);
    try {
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
        foundAlert = true;
    } catch (TimeoutException eTO) {
        foundAlert = false;
    }
    return foundAlert;
}

Note: this is based on the answer by nilesh, but adapted to catch the TimeoutException which is thrown by the wait.until() method.

I found catching exception of driver switchTo   alert    is so slow in Firefox  FF V20  amp  selenium-java-2 32 0     So I choose another way       private static boolean isDialogPresent WebDriver driver            try               driver getTitle                return false            catch  UnhandledAlertException e                   Modal dialog showed             return true                    And it s a better way when most of your test cases is NO dialog present  throwing exception is expensive

The following  C  implementation  but similar in Java  allows you to determine if there is an alert without exceptions and without creating the WebDriverWait object   boolean isDialogPresent WebDriver driver        IAlert alert   ExpectedConditions AlertIsPresent   Invoke driver       return  alert    null
