Selenium Java: I want to access first div element inside a div class

public int checkLinks()
    {

int x = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='recommendation-header-social-container']/div")).size();
        List<WebElement> y = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='recommendation-header-social-container']/div"));
        int i=0;
        for(WebElement element:y)
        {       
        String btn=element.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='recommendation-header-social-container']")).getAttribute("innerHTML");
            System.out.println("Length of first element: "+btn.length());

        }
            return x;

Answer 1

Using Xpath:

String btn=element.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[@class='recommendation-header-social-container'])[1]")).getAttribute("innerHTML");

Or use css selector

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.recommendation-header-social-container > div:nth-child(1)"));
