Packaged app implementation

[Sandeep Veldi]

As part of an enterprise application, I'm using chrome as my base and trying to do the following for a packaged app:
a) Launch a specific webpage using the packaged app
b) Always launch the packaged app everytime chrome is started. So, it appears to the users as if it's a thick client of my enterprise application.

Any help on this is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Alright, I'm able to figure out how to launch web content through my packaged app. Now the next steps are to figure out
a) How to enable popups when using "webview" in the packaged app?
b) How to always launch a specific packaged app when chrome is launched?
c) How to create a desktop icon for the packaged app?

Thanks

http://crbug.com/241463 might be related here - it hints at a way to trap a request (maybe?).

 

b) How to always launch a specific packaged app when chrome is launched?

You can register a listener for the onStartup event:

https://developer.chrome.com/apps/runtime.html#event-onStartup

 

c) How to create a desktop icon for the packaged app?

This can be done by a user by right-clicking the icon either in the app launcher or on the new tab page. A recent fix went in -- http://crbug.com/177579 -- to create start menu shortcuts in a subfolder automatically on install. I don't think there are any plans for automated desktop shortcuts or an API -- a user has to opt in to get a desktop shortcut by right-clicking the app icon.
