How execute function in Chrome extension every x seconds.

[admi...@gmail.com]

Welcome,

I'm trying developing extension for Chrome browser.

I'm need function what will fetch results using XML and in some
cases display notification to user.

I have already done xml, when i'm clicking on my extension all
functions are called properly.

I need some way, to run extension "in background", without clicking
icon.

Is there any way to do this ?

Bellow, i post example, what i will like to get.
That function should be triggered every x seconds, even if extension
is not open.


funcion_run_every_10_seconds()
{
somedata=function_get_xml();
if(somedata =='something')
{
function_what_display_nitification()
}
}

You should set up a poller in the background page using setInterval/setTimeout.

Note that there are some limitations when these calls are made in the background (I think they are clamped to 1s period).

Hello,

i am trying to create extension which runs every after 5-10 seconds, can you help me with this.

It is always nice to reminisce about almost decade old threads.

Chrome extensions now have the chrome.alarms API. There are samples for its usage.
