How to select and get dropdown value in Selenium WebDriver using Java

you can use getText() to get selected text.

Select se=new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("Sex[0]")));
WebElement option = se.getFirstSelectedOption();
String gender=option.getText;

or use one of following options

se.selectByVisibleText("Man");
se.selectByIndex(0);
se.selectByValue("Male");

Try to use :-

se.selectByValue("Male");

OR

se.selectByVisibleText("Man");

OR

Use javascriptexecutor

Hi think before selecting any option from the drop down please make all the options visible in the DOM so do it like below.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("path to drop down upon click it will show 
the dd with values")).click();

Now once the options are visible on the page use the way you select an option form the DD

Select se=new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("Sex[0]")));
se.selectByIndex(0);
Thread.sleep(2000);

driver.findElement(By.name("Sex[0]")).sendKeys("Man");

Finally i have found Solution Thanks everyone...

To select any option from dropdown we have to click the dropdown element and select the desired option. Please find the below sample code:

WebElement gender = driver.findElement(By.name("Sex[0]"));
gender.click();
Select selectGender = new Select(gender);
selectGender.selectByValue("Male");
// or
// you can use any of below functions of Select class
selectGender.selectByIndex(0);
// or
selectGender.selectByVisibleText("Male");

Hope this helps

You can use the below Code for Selecting the Values from Dropdown.

We have created the anonymous abject for Select.

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("mainOrderForm:orderType"))).selectByVisibleText("Factory Order");

                        OR

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("mainOrderForm:orderType"))).selectByIndex(Index_No.);

                        OR

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("mainOrderForm:orderType"))).selectByValue("Value");

You can use the below code. Just try atleast whether the selected option is getting printed on the console

    Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("Sex[0]")));
    select.selectByIndex(0);
    
    WebElement element = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
    System.out.println(element.getText());
                  or
    select.selectByVisibleText("Man");
