Not able to select value from dropdown - eclipse

Question

I have a dropdown menu for the select country. When I click on that dropdown it is open one search box and country list. We can select a country by searching a keyword in the search box. But I can't able to select country 'India'.
WebElement ctry = driver.findElement(By.id("select2-billing_country-container"));
ctry.click();
System.out.println("click on country successfully");
//Error starts from here..
Select country = new Select(ctry);
country.selectByVisibleText("India");
// Html code
// ctry Textbox
<span class="select2-selection__rendered" id="select2-billing_country-container" role="textbox" aria-readonly="true" title="India">India</span>
// Search box
<input class="select2-search__field" type="text" tabindex="0" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="none" spellcheck="false" role="combobox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="true" aria-owns="select2-billing_country-results" aria-activedescendant="select2-billing_country-result-k084-IS">
// Specific country india code
<li class="select2-results__option select2-results__option--highlighted" id="select2-billing_country-result-gulv-IN" role="option" data-selected="true" tabindex="-1" aria-selected="true">India</li>

Answer 1

As the dropdown is not of the Select type, you cannot use the Select method on this dropdown. You need to click on the element using its xpath.
You can do it like:
WebElement ctry = driver.findElement(By.id("select2-billing_country-container"));
ctry.click();
System.out.println("click on country successfully");
WebElement country = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='India']"));
country.click();
