Triggering events in chrome from java

Question

Is it possible to interact with Chrome from within a java application? Say for example fill in an input field and submit/trigger a button event?

Answer 1

Yes. See WebDriver's ChromeDriver .

Example usage taken from docs :

// Optional, if not specified, WebDriver will search your path for chromedriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/xhtml");
Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
searchBox.submit();
Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
driver.quit();
