action.moveToElement(element).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.Xpath(<Your path here>))).click().build().perform();

This performs the action more like a user would. They user first navigates to the menu, opens it, then navigates to the element they wish to click. Check out this question for more details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17294390/3537915

– Dhaval Atri Sep 14 '16 at 12:45
should be the Xpath of the menu item that you are wanting to click. – Pseudo Sudo Sep 14 '16 at 12:48
M sorry but found the below mention error Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":".//*[@id='demindoRoot']/div[3]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]"} For documentation on this error, please visit: http://seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html....... – Dhaval Atri Sep 14 '16 at 13:01
This means your element is not visible at the moment that you are searching for it. – Pseudo Sudo Sep 14 '16 at 13:02
Yes... to deal with that I also put thread.sleep(4000) but having the same Error ...... :( – Dhaval Atri Sep 14 '16 at 13:03
If you have the same error then your solution obviously did not solve it. Think about why you are getting the error. – Pseudo Sudo Sep 14 '16 at 13:05

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(d, 10);
    WebElement val = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath()));
    val.click();


    for(int i=0;i<=100;i++)
    {

        String value=val.getText();
        System.out.println("value is = "+value);
        String value1 = "Your dropdown value";
        if(value.equalsIgnoreCase(value1))
        {
            System.out.println("Got your dropdown value ");
            a.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();
            break;
        }
        a.sendKeys(Keys.DOWN,Keys.DOWN).build().perform();
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        a.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();
    }

xpath should be your dropdown box not of your dropdown value.

Basically when we works with anywebapplication which developed using any javascript freamwork at that w cannot get any proper element to interact. We have to work with lots of and . So while selecting any value from dropdown we have to use sendkeys. OR simple type single character and select value from suggestion list. Above two solution works for me .
