How to get a window id when extension is running in application mode?

[Chrome786]

I am trying to get the window id when an application loads my extension.

 

Here is what I am doing...

 

- Launch chrome, it loads my extension correctly.

- Navigate to google.com.

- goto Settings->Tools and click on "Create applications shortcuts.." option.

- It will create an application shortcut on desktop

- (Close all browser instances) When you lauch that application using that shortcut, it loads background page for my extension but "currentWindow is undefined" for application shortcuts..

 

Here is my code in background.html.

 

chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(currentWindow) {
                    alert("Init: currentWindow.id: " + currentWindow.id);
                    alert(currentWindow.type);
                });

 

NOTE: In chrome browser it works fine.

 

Is there any way to get the window id? when my extension is running in application mode?

 

Thanks!

Have you tried getting the current tab?

In the API docs, it does note that windows may not exist. You can
check for the existence of at least one window via:

chrome.windows.WINDOW_ID_NONE

But that may mean that no window (including application windows) is focused (meaning, the browser is not focused).

Adam,

Tab is undefined here too.

 

 chrome.tabs.getCurrent(function(TAB)
                {
                    // TAB is undefined here too.

                });

Phistuck,

Window is focused but may not be created at that time?

 

Thanks!

Not sure what you are referring to. I replied Adam.
