How to show the selected options from a multi select drop down using selenium java? - selenium

Question

I'm trying to show all the selected options from a multi select drop down list. But not getting the proper way to do this. Please help me on this.
Here is the html code for the drop down:
<select multiple id="fruits">
<option value="banana">Banana</option>
<option value="apple">Apple</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
<option value="grape">Grape</option>
</select>
Here is the code i'm trying with:
public void dropDownOperations()
{
driver.get("http://output.jsbin.com/osebed/2");
Select DDLIST = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("fruits")));
DDLIST.selectByIndex(0);
String currentvalue = DDLIST.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();
System.out.println(currentvalue);
DDLIST.selectByIndex(1);
String currentvalue1 = DDLIST.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();
System.out.println(currentvalue1);
}
I also tried with this code:
Here i'm getting this output:
[[[[[ChromeDriver: chrome on XP (69aee19e9922ca218ff47c0ccdf1bbbc)] ->
id: fruits]] -> tag name: option], [[[[ChromeDriver: chrome on XP
(69aee19e9922ca218ff47c0ccdf1bbbc)] -> id: fruits]] -> tag name:
option]]
public void dropDownOperations1()
{
driver.get("http://output.jsbin.com/osebed/2");
Select DDLIST = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("fruits")));
DDLIST.selectByIndex(0);
DDLIST.selectByIndex(1);
List<WebElement> currentvalue1 = DDLIST.getAllSelectedOptions();
System.out.println(currentvalue1);
}

Answer 1

Your second approach should work fine with a minor fix. getAllSelectedOptions() will return a List of selected options as WebElement. You need to iterate over the list to get the text from WebElement.
List<WebElement> selectedOptions = DDLIST.getAllSelectedOptions();
for (WebElement option : selectedOptions){
System.out.println(option.getText());
}

Answer 2

Try This:
List<WebElement> allSelected = select.getAllSelectedOptions();
Iterator itr = allSelected.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
WebElement item = (WebElement) itr.next();
System.out.println(item.getText());
}

Answer 3

Try this below code, It will select one by one options from dropdown.
Select DDLIST = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("fruits")));
DDLIST.selectByIndex(0);
DDLIST.selectByIndex(1);
List<WebElement> selectedOptions = DDLIST.getAllSelectedOptions();
for(int i=0; i<selectedOptions.size(); i++)
{
System.out.println(DDLIST.getOptions().get(i).getText());
}

Answer 4

Try This:
System.out.println(DDLIST.selectByIndex(0).getText());
System.out.println(DDLIST.selectByIndex(1).getText());
And so on. Instead of using a variable and trying it.

Answer 5

Try this:
Select DDLIST = new Select (driver.findElement(By.id("fruits")));
for(int i=0; i<DDLIST.getOptions().size(); i++)
System.out.println(DDLIST.getOptions().get(i).getText());
