Autocomplete with Selenium - selenium

Question

I'm having some (actually, a lot) of trouble automating selection from autocomplete options with Selenium. Currently, I am able to automate the inputting of the text, though, I am not able to select anything from the appearing drop-down suggestions list that pops up. I tried searching here for some answers to my problem, but nothing has worked. Below is the element that appears with the suggestions that I am trying to select:
<div class="cs-autocomplete-popup">
<div class="inner">
<div class="cs-autocomplete-Matches csc-autocomplete-Matches">
<ul>
<li class="cs-autocomplete-matchItem csc-autocomplete-matchItem">
<span class="csc-autocomplete-matchItem-content cs-autocomplete-matchItem-content" id="matchItem::matchItemContent">john doe</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="csc-autocomplete-addToPanel cs-autocomplete-addToPanel">
<hr>
<div class="content csc-autocomplete-addTermTo cs-autocomplete-addTermTo">Add "John Doe" to:</div>
<ul>
<li class="cs-autocomplete-authorityItem csc-autocomplete-authorityItem" id="authorityItem:">Local Persons</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView" style="top: 2px; left: 149px; display: none;"><div class="cs-miniView">
john doe
<div>
<span class="csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field1Label cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field1Label">b.</span>
<span class="csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field1 cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field1" id="field1"></span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field2Label cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field2Label">d.</span>
<span class="csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field2 cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field2" id="field2"></span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="csc-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field3 cs-autocomplete-popup-miniView-field3" id="field3"></span>
</div>
<div>
</div>
</div></div>
</div>
From this, I am trying to select "john doe". Does anyone know an efficient/complete way of doing this? I would very much appreciate the help.

Answer 1

driver.findElement(By.xpath("get the exact field address of autocomplete textbox");
Thread.sleep(5000);
//for xpath: need to take the common xpath from the list of the elements.
List<WebElement> link=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//span[contains(#class, 'cs-autocomplete-matchItem-content') and .='john doe']");
for(int i=0; i<=link.size(); i++)
{
if(link.get(i).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("john doe");
{
link.get(i).click();
}
}
