Counting the list within HTML structure using Selenium Webdriver

Question

I have HTML with the following structure and wish to how the inner most li's:

<div id="topDiv" ..... >

    <div ...... >

        <ul class="lists" ...>

            <li .....>

                <ul ....>

                    <li id="importantlist1">

                    <li id="importantlist2">

                    ...

                    ...

                </ul>

           </li>

       </ul>

   </div>

</div>

 

I want to count the li's i.e. total number. The top div and first ul has id's as well as each important li. I tried using cssSelector, xpath but Its not working.

This should work

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//li[contains(@id,importantlist')]")).size()
