Answer 1

For wait you can use something like this

    private boolean wAit(String match)
    {
    try
        {
        (new WebDriverWait(driver, 30))
            .until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated (By.xpath(match)));
        return true;
        }
    catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
        return false;
    }
    }

You can create the above method and use it where ever you need to wait for an element. for example

if want a write something in the textbox and want to wait for the text box to load

wAit(" xpath of the textbox here")
driver.findelements... sendkeys()..

If you want you can change the locator type and increase/decrease the time limit also

I hope this helps u..

import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;  


public class yahoo {  

     FirefoxDriver Driver=null;
     WebDriverWait wait = null;



     @BeforeTest  
     public void start(){  
      Driver = new FirefoxDriver();  
     }  

    @Test 
     public void Test() throws InterruptedException{   
      wait=new WebDriverWait(Driver,90); 
      System.out.println("Loading yahoo search page");  
      Driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");  
      System.out.println("Yahoo search page loaded fine");  
      WebElement text=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id='p_13838465-p']")));
      text.sendKeys("selenium");
      Thread.sleep(5000);

     }  

     @AfterTest  
     public void close(){  
     Driver.quit();   
     }  
    }

I encountered with same issue and couldn't find any solution for it.Then i tried WebDriverWait instead of FluentWait and it worked for me

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver, 60);
wait.withTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
wait.pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
wait.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>(){
      @Override
      public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
          WebElement ele=driver.findElement(locator);
          if(ele==null)
              return false;
          else
          {
              System.out.println("WebElement found");
              return true;
          }

      }
    });

Regarding your By.id statement, it looks like you have passed an XPath instead of just the id. So this:

element = myDynamicElement(By.id("//*[@id='p_13838465-p']")); //this locator is an XPath

should become this:

element = myDynamicElement(By.id('p_13838465-p')); //this is just the ID

However, if this ID is dynamically generated, then it won't work reliably, and you may need to considering finding it by a different locator.

Then, once you've identified the element, to type in it, you use .sendKeys("your text here"), like this:

element.sendKeys("your text here");

or you could combine it into one line by skipping the element = part and just say:

myDynamicElement(By.id('p_13838465-p')).sendKeys("your text here");
