How to switch to the new browser window, which opens after click on the button?

Question

I have a situation when I click on the button opens the new browser window with search results.

Is there any way to connect and focus to a newly opened browser windows?

And work with it, then return back to the original(first) window.

Answer 1

Switching of windows can be done by following this

// get the current window handle

 String parentHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

 for (String handle: driver.getWindowHandles()) {

     if (!parentHandle.equals(handle))

         driver.switchTo().window(handle);

 }

It works and there is no wrong using this.
