Exiting a for loop via try/catch

following is a portion of my code
if(search_result.contains(num_per_page_str)) { // if num item per page is => 24,
for(int item = 1 ; item <= num_per_page_int ; item++ ) { //interate over the current page
Thread.sleep(3000);
try {//if display vertical + horizontal
WebElement url = driver.findElement(By.linkText(item_desc)); // get the URL via element
String item_URL = url.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println("Item URL = " + item_URL);
getPrice(driver, item_URL);
} //try
catch (Exception e) { //if display vertical only
WebElement url = driver.findElement(By.linkText(item_desc)); // get the URL via element
String item_URL = url.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println("Item URL = " + item_URL);
getPrice(driver, item_URL);
} //catch
} // for int item = 1
} //if search result
else { //if items per page < 24
}//else
Once in the try/catch branch, upon reaching getPrice(driver, item_URL); , I expect it to call the getPrice function together with the arguements.
However, what I am getting now is upon executing the calling of the getPrice() function, it did not exit the for loop and re-iterates the loop.
Am I doing anything wrong in my code that blocks the exiting of for loop ? Thanks

Add a break after calling getPrive, like:
for(int item = 1 ; item <= num_per_page_int ; item++ ) { //interate over the current page
Thread.sleep(3000);
try {//if display vertical + horizontal
WebElement url = driver.findElement(By.linkText(item_desc)); // get the URL via element
String item_URL = url.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println("Item URL = " + item_URL);
getPrice(driver, item_URL);
break;
} //try
catch (Exception e) { //if display vertical only
WebElement url = driver.findElement(By.linkText(item_desc)); // get the URL via element
String item_URL = url.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println("Item URL = " + item_URL);
getPrice(driver, item_URL);
break;
} //catch
} // for int item = 1

While executing below code i'm unable to see the result but while debugging i can able to execute below code

What could be wrong the with below selenium code?
In console i'm unable to see any error or exception. After executing below code i can print 0,1,2 but not able to print 3 and 4.
#Test(priority = 9, retryAnalyzer = com.brcc.tool.RetryFailedTestCases.RetryTestCases.class)
public void findSearchable() throws InterruptedException {
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
System.out.println("0");
List<WebElement> searchableElements = driver
.findElements(By.cssSelector(prop.getProperty("searchableElements")));
System.out.println("1");
List<String> searchable = new ArrayList<String>();
System.out.println("2");
for (WebElement searchableElement : searchableElements) {
System.out.println("3");
searchable.add(searchableElement.getText());
System.out.println("searchable = " + searchable);
System.out.println("Size of list = " + searchable.size());
}
System.out.println("searchableList = " + searchable);
for (int i = 0; i < searchable.size() - 1; i++) {
System.out.println("4");
if ((searchable.get(i).contains(sftpCon.searchableFields("Searchable Fields", 0))) && (searchable.get(i).contains(sftpCon.searchableFields("Searchable Fields", 1)))
&& (searchable.get(i).contains(sftpCon.searchableFields("Searchable Fields", 2))) && (searchable.get(i).contains(sftpCon.searchableFields("Searchable Fields", 3)))) {
System.out.println("Got it ...... = " + searchable.get(i));
} else {
System.out.println("Not Found");
}
}
}

If you see the values when running the script in debug mode not in the normal execution mode, then please make sure the elements are loaded before getting searchableElements.
Change the below line
List<WebElement> searchableElements = driver
.findElements(By.cssSelector(prop.getProperty("searchableElements")));
to use the webdriverwait
List<WebElement> searchableElements = new WebDriverWait(driver, maxTimeOut))
.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.cssSelector(prop.getProperty("searchableElements")))
//print the size here
System.out.println("Number of list items:-" + searchableElements.size());

Now my issue has been fixed, after using below code
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
List searchableElements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(prop.getProperty("searchableElements")));

To click() within the element with placeholder as Choose username within the url https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en, as the the desired element is within a <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using cssSelector:
driver.get("https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.cssSelector("div.usernameWrap iframe[title='Registration form']")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input.input#username"))).click();
Using xpath:
driver.get("https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//div[#class='usernameWrap']//iframe[#title='Registration form']")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[#class='input' and #id='username']"))).click();

How to use a loop to select items sequentially within Android app

Here I have 3 images with clickable elements :
I used this code so when it runs through the first loop, it selects the FIRST image :
driver.findElement(By.id("com.offerup:id/circle")).click();
After my code runs through the second loop, I want it to go back and select the SECOND image, and so on.
I've obtained my elements from uiautomatorviewer which can be seen here :

Since you are trying to tap on the images in the grid layout. Here is the steps to achieve that.
Identify the grid element.
Add the row to a list.
Then traverse to each row to click on the image element.
Below is the code function which helps to achieve it.
public void selectPhotos(int numberOfPhotosToSelect){
//Find the grid element
WebElement gridAlbum= driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of the full grid of album"));
//Add the rows of element to the list
List<WebElement> gridRows=gridAlbum.findElements(driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of the row element");
//find the number of rows
System.out.println("Number of Rows"+gridRows.size());
for(WebElement row:gridRows) {
List<WebElement> cells=row.findElements(driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of the Image");
for(WebElement cell:cells) {
if(numberOfPhotosToSelect>0) {
cell.click();
numberOfPhotosToSelect--;
}
else
break;
}
}
}

I want to know how to save the string ID and use the same to compare anywhere in any member function?

In Selenium we have a situation where we need to get the ID "MANTPLAP300920141426403767374" from an application and store it in a Object type Variable. We picked the ID using gettext() method.
We need to relogin into the application with an different user and use the ID that was saved earlier in a Object type variable in another method. We require to match the ID by doing a compare in each of the page in the approver application(some other method).
If the match is found we need to check the box and approve the record of that ID.
Flow:
STep 1: Login as an user 1 create record and save its ID.
2: Since its a string we Copy the ID into an Object variable.
3: logoff the application
4: Login with an diffrent user to approve the record
5: Search for the ID that was created by the first user in differnt pages if not found in the first page.
Issue is: We have one Java class where we are successfully storing the ID. After relogin into the application as a different user we are unaware how to call that object type variable and use it in that particular class.
In the debug mode we get NULL as the reference ID instead of saved ID "MANTPLAP300920141426403767374"
We want to know how to save the string ID and use the same to compare anywhere in any member function ?

Please help me to resolve this.

Store the first ID as a static variable and access it again (after logging in as a second user).

Try this code please:
static String SourceRefId;
public static String getSourceRefId(String object,String data ) throws InterruptedException {

ArrayList<String> NewTab = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(NewTab.get(1));
SourceRefId=driver.findElement(By.id(OR.getProperty(object))).getText();
System.out.println("the value is "+ SourceRefId);

} catch (NoSuchElementException e){
Log.error("Not able to get the source ref id--- " + e.getMessage());
return SourceRefId;
}

//System.out.println(i);
}
}
else
{
System.out.println("Pagination doesn't exists");
}
}catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
}
}
In the above code I have made the following changes:
Made SourceRefId as static
Changed the return type of method "getSourceRefId" to String so that it will return the "SourceRefId".
Lost the extra brackets inside try block of method "getSourceRefId".
Removed driver.close() from the method "getSourceRefId" and replaced it with the "return SourceRefId" that returns the value to be compared
And, finally changed the "if(validatorSoruceRefId==Constants.SourceRefId)" to "if(validatorSoruceRefId.equals(SourceRefId))" as Strings are compared here.
Hope this works out for you.
