How to build a method to iterate through WebElements and return the one that is displayed using Selenium & Java?

Question

So, the page is filled with a lot of similar properties like these two elements below. Examples:

Answer 1

I'll show how I would go about it, but the problem might be a problem with selenium not always returning isDisplayed() correctly depending on the element type.

public WebElement getFirstVisibleElement(List elements) {
    for (WebElement ele : elements)
        if (ele.isEnabled() && ele.isDisplayed())
            return ele;
    return null;
}

A more reliable method of checking if a web element is displayed is to check its dimensions (height and width). If they are both zero, it's not displayed.

public WebElement getFirstVisibleElement(List elements) {
    for (WebElement ele : elements)
        if (ele.isEnabled() && ele.getSize().getHeight() > 0 && ele.getSize().getWidth() > 0 )
            return ele;
    return null;
}
