How do I ask the Selenium-WebDriver to wait for few seconds in Java

Question

I want to add a delay of few seconds in the Selenium WebDriver. How can I do that?

Answer 1

There are two ways to wait: explicit and implicit wait. 

The idea of explicit wait is

WebDriverWait.until(condition-that-finds-the-element);

The idea of implicit wait is

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

fluentWait function returns your found web element.
