Unable to double click the list of players from the table in the exact order?

Question

]I'm automating baseball sports reporter application. My application is a desktop application. I'm using winium tool with java language. In my application table contain player names in alphabetical order. I want to select 8 players from the list in same order as you can see above order. And also I want to select the matching positions.

These are the players that i need to select::

  #players names  ::  positions
 Happ            = CF
 Bryant          = 3B
 Rizzo           = 1B
 Contreras       = C
 Schwarber       = LF
 Russell         = SS
 Heyward         = RF
 Baez            = 2B

now i need to select the particular players that I mentioned above list order. My application manual working process is first double click a player and mean time a window came to select the position by single click. example firstly , I need to select the player Happ and his position CF(center field) then select the player Bryant and his position 3B(third base) etc...

        //combine player table 1 and 2 
                player_table2.addAll(player_table1);  
                List<String> player_table3=new ArrayList<String>();
                player_table3.addAll(player_table2);
                System.out.println(player_table3);  //it will print the 25 player names
                int p=player_table3.size();  
                System.out.println(p);     //it will print the size 25
                for(int i=0;i<p;i++) {
                 if(playersInList.contains(player_table3)) {

                    Actions act = new Actions(driver);

                        act.doubleClick(playersInList).build().perform();
                 }

                   WebElement pos= driver.findElementById("PlayerPositions");
                           List<WebElement> col=pos.findElements(By.xpath("./*[contains(@LocalizedControlType, 'button')]"));

                           if(positionsInlist.contains(col)) {


                           pos.click();

                   }
                }      


        }
        catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e);
                                }
    }
}

I have 2 tables in my application and I add it into one list.. Here double click action is not performing and after printing 25 player names and size .it will got stop.

To select only particular player names you need to:

1. Store the required names somewhere (e.g. in String array)
2. When get the next player name check if it matches any of your preserved player from the list.

This might look like:

{
    String[] players = new String[]{
            "Player 1",
            "Player 2",
            "Player 3",
            // ...
            "Player N"
    };

    try {
        List<String> playersInList = Arrays.asList(players);
        WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@AutomationId='lsvAwayTeamHitters1']"));
        List<WebElement> rows = table.findElements(By.xpath("./*[contains(@LocalizedControlType, 'item')]"));
        for (WebElement row : rows) {
            List<WebElement> cols = row.findElements(By.xpath("./*[contains(@LocalizedControlType, 'text')]"));
            for (WebElement col : cols) {
                String celtext = col.getAttribute("Name");
                if (playersInList.contains(celtext)) {
                    // process your player here
                }

            }
        }
        ArrayList<String> inputList = new ArrayList<String>();
        // ... Remaining code
    }
}

I reworked you code slightly since it does not make sense to loop through the items indices. Using iterator is more appropriate here (the logic does not break).

There is also potentially problematic code in your example:

for(int j=3;j<=col.size();j++) {
    String celtext = col.get(j).getAttribute("Name");
    System.out.println(celtext);
}

which I reworked to utilize iterator mechanism, however the logical problems remain in place. Namely you are iterating through all the cells in a row, but there is likely one single row that contains a player name so looping through all the cells might introduce logical errors to the process.
