Answer 1

String Parent_Window = driver.getWindowHandle();    

 for (String Child_Window : driver.getWindowHandles())  
 {  
 driver.switchTo().window(Child_Window);  
 //Perform operation on child window 
 driver.close();
 } 

 //Switching back to Parent Window  
 driver.switchTo().window(Parent_Window);  

Answer 2

Try like this.

1. Close 2nd child window
2. Then there are two windows main window and 1st child window
3. Try to getWindowhandles(); it should return 2 window handles.
4. From that two window handles extract main window handle.
5. Switch back to main window using above window handle.

OR

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Answer 3

try the below code.. it worked for me...

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./drivers/chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get("https://www.naukri.com/");

    //Get the address of main window
    String p = driver.getWindowHandle();

    //get address of all windows
    Set<String> allWH = driver.getWindowHandles();

    //get address of all windows and store it in ArrayList
    ArrayList<String> allWHCopy = new ArrayList<String>(allWH);

    //close the 2nd window
    for(int i=0;i<allWHCopy.size();i++)
    {
        if(i==2)
        {
            driver.switchTo().window(allWHCopy.get(i));
            driver.close();
        }
    }

    //To switch to main window
    driver.switchTo().window(p);

    //perform action in main window
}

Answer 4

to close multiple popups in webdriver and switch to parent window

String parent = driver.getWindowHandle();

  Set<String> pops=driver.getWindowHandles();
    {

Iterator<String> it =pops.iterator();

while (it.hasNext()) {

        String popupHandle=it.next().toString();
        if(!popupHandle.contains(parent))
        {
        driver.switchTo().window(popupHandle);
        System.out.println("Popu Up Title: "+ driver.switchTo().window(popupHandle).getTitle());
        driver.close();

Answer 5

Use this code:

 // Get Parent window handle
 String winHandleBefore = _driver.getWindowHandle();
 for (String winHandle : _driver.getWindowHandles()) {
   // Switch to child window
   driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
 }

// Do some operation on child window and get child window handle.
String winHandleAfter = driver.getWindowHandle();

//switch to child window of 1st child window.
for(String winChildHandle : _driver.getWindowHandles()) {
  // Switch to child window of the 1st child window.
  if(!winChildHandle.equals(winHandleBefore) 
  && !winChildHandle.equals(winHandleAfter)) {
    driver.switchTo().window(winChildHandle);
   }
 }

// Do some operation on child window of 1st child window.
// to close the child window of 1st child window.
driver.close();

// to close the child window.
driver.close();

// to switch to parent window.
driver.switchto.window(winHandleBefore);

Answer 6

Try this before calling

driver.switchTo().window(parentwindow);

you should call

driver.switchto.defaultcontent .
