Answer 1

You can use WebDriverWait. From docs example:

 (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
                return d.findElement(...).getText().length() != 0;
            }
        });

Answer 2

You can use WebDriverWait. From docs example:
above ans using .getTex() this is not returning text from input field

use .getAttribute("value") instead of getText()

(new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
        return d.findElement(...).getAttribute("value").length() != 0;
    }
});

tested 100% working hope this will help

Answer 3

A one liner that works and uses lambda function.

wait.until((ExpectedCondition<Boolean>) driver -> driver.findElement(By.id("elementId")).getAttribute("value").length() != 0);

Answer 4

Using WebDriverWait (org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait) and ExpectedCondition (org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions) objects

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.textToBePresentInElementLocated(By.id("element_id"), "The Text"));
