How to verify if the element is displayed or not using selenium webdriver in Java?

Selenium webdriver provides one method called - isDisplayed which can be used to check if any element like button, checkbox, link etc  is displayed or not on web page in Selenium Webdriver in Java.

boolean actualValue = e.isDisplayed();
above code will check if button e is displayed or not. If it is displayed, actualValue will be true otherwise it will be false.

Full example in Java with selenium webdriver

package temp;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

public class first {

public static void main(String[] args) {

              // TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Selenuim\\chromedriver2.3.exe");

WebDriver driver =  new ChromeDriver();

try{

driver.get("http://register.rediff.com/register/register.php");

Thread.sleep(2000);

WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.name("btnemail"));

boolean actualValue = e.isDisplayed();

if (actualValue)

       System.out.println("Button is displayed");

else

       System.out.println("Button is not displayed");

      

Thread.sleep(2000);

}

catch(Exception ex){

       System.out.println("Exception " + ex.getMessage());

              }

              finally{

                    

                     driver.close();

                     driver.quit();

              }

       }

}

Please note that we can verify if all elements are displayed or not like button, checkbox, radiobutton, checkbox, combobox in similar way using isDisplayed method in Java using selenium webdriver.
