Here we are using different methods to select the date from the DatePicker using selenium java. These all methods<\/a> are listed below one by one with code.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sendkeys method:<\/strong> In this method, a particular date is filled in the date\/ calendar field with the sendkeys method.\n

    Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    public static void firstApproach() {
    \n \t\/\/ Click on the Calendar field
    \n \tWebElement sendate = driver.findElement(By.xpath(\"\/\/input[@id='interview_date']\"));
    \n \t\/\/ Using send method to sent particular date to the calendar field
    \n \tsendate.sendKeys(\"12-january-2021\");
    \n }<\/em><\/code>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Selecting a particular date from DatePicker:<\/strong> In this method, choose a particular date using locators and perform a click action to select.\n

    Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    public static void secondApproach() {
    \n \/\/ Click on the Calendar field
    \n driver.findElement(By.xpath(\"\/\/input[@id='interview_date']\")).click();
    \n \/\/ Selecting particular date
    \n driver.findElement(By.xpath(\"\/\/a[normalize-space()='20']\")).click();
    \n }<\/em><\/code>\n<\/li>\n

  3. Getting a list of dates from the Calendar:<\/strong> In this method, get the list of the dates from the calendar, and iterate dates one by one.\n

    Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    public static void thirdApproach() {
    \n \/\/ Click on the Calendar field
    \n driver.findElement(By.xpath(\"\/\/input[@id='interview_date']\")).click();
    \n \/\/ Getting list of the active dates and iterating one by one
    \n List < WebElement > activedates = driver.findElements(By.xpath(\"\/\/table[@class='ui-datepicker-calendar']\/\/a\"));
    \n for (WebElement dates: activedates) {
    \n String date = dates.getText();
    \n System.out.println(date);
    \n if (date.equals(\"25\")) {
    \n dates.click();
    \n break;
    \n \t}
    \n \t}
    \n }<\/em><\/code>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
