Need to get the occurrence of same webelement locator and wherever present then click it

I need the java webdriver to click a button on a page wherever it is present. No fixed number of occurrences of the element but its not more than 20.

i tried using:

 for(i=0; i<=20; i++){
            try{
                driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn.btn-small.btn-list")).isDisplayed();
                present = true;
            } catch(Exception g) {
                present = false;
            }
        if(present) {
            driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn.btn-small.btn-list")).click();
            WaitForPageToLoad(5);
        } else {
            System.out.println(i);
            break;
            }
        }

But this just works to click element 1 time, not for all occurrences. Please help.

Here is another approach without using implicit waits but explicit which is more portable and maintainable when cross-browser and cross-platform testing. There is no need for your check to see if the element is visible/displayed as the WebDriverWait explicitly performs this for you.

See the following for more information on the different kinds of waits

   String CSS_SELECTOR = ".btn.btn-small.btn-list";

   webDriverWait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.cssSelector(CSS_SELECTOR)))

   List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(CSS_SELECTOR));

   for ( WebElement element : elements ) {

        element.click();

   }

Here, try something like this:

boolean present = false;
List<WebElement> els= d.findElements( By.cssSelector(".btn.btn-small.btn-list"));
d.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait( 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS );
for ( WebElement we : els ) {
    try{
        if ( we.isDisplayed() ) {
            we.click();
            present = true;
        } else {
            System.out.println("Invisible.");
        }
    } catch( StaleElementReferenceException|NoSuchElementException g) {
        System.out.println("WARNING: " + g.getMessage() );
    }
}
if ( present ) {
    System.out.println("Found bookoo!");
} else {
    System.out.println("Found nada!");
}
