Handling Radio buttons

In this section, you will learn how to handle radio buttons in selenium web driver.

Following are the steps to handle the radio buttons:

Step 1: Invoke the Google Chrome browser.

The code to invoke a Google chrome browser is given below:

package mypack;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Class1 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        
    	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\work\\chromedriver.exe");
    	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    	
    }

}

Step 2: The second step is to navigate to the website in which we need to handle the radio buttons.

I created the html file which contains the radio buttons. The code is given below:





Mango

Mango

Mango


Ladyfinger

Potato

Tomato

The code for navigating to the above html file is given below:

package mypack;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Class1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
    	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\work\\chromedriver.exe");
    	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    	driver.get("file:///C:/Users/admin/Desktop/radio.html");
        }

}

The output of the above code:

Step 3: Select the option Banana. We will locate the Banana radio button by inspecting its HTML codes.

There are two ways of handling the radio buttons:

By using the customized path:

The code shown below handles the radio button by using the customized path.

package mypack;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Class1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
    	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\work\\chromedriver.exe");
    	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    	driver.get("file:///C:/Users/admin/Desktop/radio.html");
    	driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Banana']")).click();
        }

}

In the above, we use custom Xpath. Radio buttons contain a unique attribute, i.e., value, so we use the value attribute to handle the radio button.

Output

By handling the radio buttons dynamically.
- We will first calculate the number of radio buttons. The following is the line of code which calculates the number of radio buttons.
  
  int a = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input [@name='group1']")).size();
  
  The above line of code calculates the number of radio buttons whose name is group1.
- Now, we will handle the radio buttons by using the index of a particular radio button.
  
  driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@name='group1']")).get(2).click();

Source code

package mypack;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Class1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
    	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\work\\chromedriver.exe");
    	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    	driver.get("file:///C:/Users/admin/Desktop/radio.html");
    	int a = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input [@name='group1']")).size();
        System.out.println(a);
        for(int i=1;i<=a;i++)
        {
        	driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@name='group1']")).get(2).click();
        }
    }}

In the above code, we use 'for' loop. Inside the 'for' loop, we find the third radio button of group1 by using the get(2) method.
