You need to switch the pop-up first and then you can perfrom action

Alert alertOK = driver.switchTo().alert();
alertOK.accept();

If the pop-up is not confirmation box then you need to switch and perform click operation

driver.switchTo().alert();
element.click();

OR If it is application pop-up then you can try below code

To switch to a popup window, you need to use getWindowHandles() and iterate through them.

In your code you are using getWindowHandle() which will give you the parent window itself.

String parentWindowHandler = driver.getWindowHandle(); // Store your parent window
String subWindowHandler = null;

Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles(); // get all window handles
Iterator<String> iterator = handles.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()){
    subWindowHandler = iterator.next();
}
driver.switchTo().window(subWindowHandler); // switch to popup window

// Now you are in the popup window, perform necessary actions here

driver.switchTo().window(parentWindowHandler);  // switch back to parent window

Hope it will help you :)

Try this code to switch the windows:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://demo.guru99./popup.php");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/p/a")).click();

// return the parent window name as a String
String parentWindow=driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

// Pass a window handle to the other window
for(String childWindow: driver.getWindowHandles())
{
if(!childWindow.equals(parentWindow)){
System.out.println("child");
//switch to child window
driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);
//find an element and print text of it 
WebElement textLabel=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/h2"));
System.out.println(" text:  "+textLabel.getText());
driver.close();
}
}
System.out.println("Come to parent window");
/switch to Parent window
 driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

Try the below code:

driver.switchTo().activeElement();

it's also working fine for me....
