I'm creating a chrome packaged app, and I need to navigate my htmls without creating a lot of windows, like, if the user click one button, it opens the html in the same window the user are. Is it even possible? If not, is there a way to make windows modal? So the user can't focus another window without closing the current? Packaged apps intentionally do not support navigation. Apps are not in a browser, there is no concept of forward, back, or reload. Applications which do require the concept of navigation, or modal dialogs, should use a user interface framework that supports that

Something about my use of chrome.hid.send seems to be leaving the bus in a bad state. I consistently can NOT get my second usage of the API call to work. Sometimes, it will also fail on the first usage. WITH THE EXACT SAME CODE, I can come back and try a while later (maybe 10min) and the first send will work. The device I'm working with does not return a response to all messages sent to it. The test message for example, is just a dummy message that is ignored by the device. I've tested this both on a mac and a PC. My call stack depth is 2 at this point in my application (literally first one is

I have a requirement to launch a chrome application from a web page button click . I have found the following resources,' Run Google Chrome application from url Activate chrome app from web page? How can I launch a Chrome Packaged App through javascript? Which suggests to use externally_connectable and url_handlers but doesn't seem to work. Is there a proper way I could launch a chrome application via button click on web page by calling the chrome app extension id ?. I am new to this field and any help from you experts would be greatly appreciated :) PS I tried the following command on a

I'm struggling to get my first Flash game on the Chrome store as packaged web app. All the tutorials I manage to find online are old and obsolete, or missing crucial info for a noob like me. This is what I have so far for my manifest.json file: { "name": "Snappy Turtle", "description": "Swim dangerous waters.", "version": "1.8", "manifest_version": 2, "app": { "background": { "scripts": ["background.js"] } }, "icons": { "16": "favicon.png", "128": "icon.png" } } Somewhere in the mix I need something like the following so it will actually launch my game: "launch": { "local_path": "index.html" }

I need to read a file which contains a group of symbols moved 65 in ASCII table. It means, for each symbol I am meant to do: String.fromCharCode('¢'.charCodeAt(0)-65) // returns 'a' But it is not working at all. I have asked friends of mine to do the test using Python inputting the same file and they got the correct result. When I try to do the same work with Chrome File System it does not work at all. I can't get back the expected symbols. I think it is a problem with my encoding/charset plataform but I can't figure out what is and how fix it. I have tried opening the file with other encoding

I am building a chrome app and created a UDP socket via the chrome socket api . Is there a way to retrieve your own IP address without using an external service? What I mean by "own IP address": Both client and server are on the same network. The chrome app needs to answer to a UDP broadcast with it's own local IP address . There is actually a chrome socket API for exactly that use-case. But unfortunately I only receive the following callback object: Object {paused: false, persistent: false, socketId: 17} , which misses the localAddress attribute. It is an (optional) attribute in the

I am developing a Chrome app that shows some web content in a webview tag. The content is being cached. When I edit the content files, clearing Chrome browsers' cache does not seem to actually clear the webview cache. One of the posts recommends to assign a unique partition ID every time Chrome app starts. Changing partition ID on the webview does help to clear (or re allocate) the cache, but I still would like to take advantage of caching 3MB of web content and clear it manually only if it changes. Is there a way to clear that cache, in particular on Chrome OS? This has since been implemented

I'm building a Google Apps Chrome App (not extension but app ) with gmail, calendar, etc. I would like to run extensions from regular chrome in my app. For example, rapportive is a fantastic extension for gmail. But it seems that extensions do not run on pages hosted in a webview . Does anyone have an idea of how enable extensions in chrome apps? Extensions in Chrome Apps aren't available by design. A webview is meant to facilitate displaying web-based content that you control, in which case you'd have the ability to alter that content at the server, rather than relying on an extension to do

I'm currently developing a Chrome Web App using the Chrome Platform APIs and Javascript and I simply can't find a way to display a prompt() dialog to ask the user for a value, in a way that prevents him from clicking anywhere else until he enters a value and accepts or cancels (meaning, EXACTLY how it works with Javascript). My problem is, I just can't find a way to do this with the Chrome Platform APIs (note that prompt(), alert() and confirm() can't be used in packaged apps). I already checked questions similar to mine and they all point to the Google App Script documentation, which doesn't
