Whenever we open any browser , one window handle id is allocated to that browser.

So All  opened browser (parent and child ) are having their respective window handle ids

To get the window handle id of current  browser we use method 

driver.switchTo().window(window handle );

Example- Switching to each child browsers

      

                        //Enter URL in browser

                driver.get("https://www.naukri.com/");

      //get parent window handle

String parentwindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

                      //get all opened browsers window handle ids and store in a list

Set<String> allWindows = driver.getWindowHandles();

                      //Print the count of all opened windows

System.out.println(allWindows.size());

     //remove parent window id from All windows handle ids

allWindows.remove(parentwindow);

                     //using for each loop, iterating to each window

for (String s : allWindows) {

 

System.out.println(s);

                    //switching to child windows and perform action

driver.switchTo().window(s);

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

}

                    //switch back to parent window

driver.switchTo().window(parentwindow);
