chrome.experimental.management.onUninstalled

[panco]

I've been trying to use this event to log uninstall events of our app,
but so far nothing I put into the callback (the only param of
addListener on the mentioned object) happens - alert('foo') for
instance.
Im using Chrome 7.0.517.0 beta on Windows 7 and have enabled
experimental in manifest.json and am running Chrome with additional
parameter (--enable-experimental-extension-apis).
Is this even active (experimental...)?

I believe this API is not for use by normal extensions, but only by component extensions (built in extensions).

Can you please point me to a source where I can find out what's the
difference between normal and component extension. As far as I know
all I have to do is put "experimental" key into the permissions list
in manifest.json and run chrome with a special parameter and
experimentals should work.

This API is actually meant for extensions which replace the new tab page, so it should be good for any extension to use.  It's a fairly new addition, though, so it's possible that some events haven't been wired up fully.  I haven't had a chance to play around with this yet, so I'm not really up to speed on the status.

Can you share the code you're using?

Does it work if you uninstall something other than the extension that's monitoring uninstall?

[panco]

chrome.experimental.management.onUninstalled.addListener(function
(info) {
alert('foo');
});
It's basicly an example copy-pasted, but just because of that I would
expect it to work. I've followed all the instructions on the docs
page, downloaded the latest Chrome (dev), though it would be really
nice to specify the minimum version.

This snippet is in background.html.

Try it on an extension other than the one being uninstalled. The
envisioned use case was replacing NTP, not notifying an extension when
it is about to be uninstalled.

Then what about experimental.bookmarkManager?

(And while I am here. What about experimental.metrics, experimental.rlz, experimental.accessibility, experimental.tts, experimental.input and experimental.popup?)

Everything listed at http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/experimental.html is intended to be external developer-facing.  So nothing out of that list, although management is listed.

Is experimental.bookmarkManager going to be developer facing at some point?

[Gerardo Capiel]

I'm also curious about experimental.accessibility and
experimental.tts. When will those be developer facing and documented?

Sorry, I don't have any information about unreleased APIs.  If it's not in experimental, it's not intended for external developer consumption.

@PhistucK - sorry, no idea about bookmarkManager.  Maybe someone else on the list knows.

I'm having the same problem, except now it's chrome.management since
it's out of experimental. Here's my code from my background page's
javascript:
chrome.management.onUninstalled.addListener(function ()
{ alert("Uninstalling") });
The docs say to put function ("idofextension")
{ alert("Uninstalling") } but that just gives me an error.
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/management.html#event-onUninstalled

[IsaSuperfast]

The error from the console reads:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'onUninstalled' of
undefined"
for:
chrome.management.onUninstalled.addListener(function()
{ alert("Uninstalling") });

Which means that chrome isn't defined.

[IsaSuperfast]

Hey! It works!
I added the permission "management" to my manifest and voila!
Example usage:
manifest.json:
...
"permissions": [
"management",
...
]
...

background.html > script:

chrome.management.onUninstalled.addListener(function()
{ alert("Uninstalling") });

Hope that fixes the problem, panco!
