Remove Chrome tab listeneres (chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged.removeListener)

[Max Air]

Hi there

I can't figure out how to remove tab listeners. I have to let the
listener run till a certain moment:

chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged.addListener(function(tab_id) {
console.log("tab changed" + tab_id);
});


I tried it with

foobar = chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged.addListener(function(tab_id) {
console.log("tab changed" + tab_id);
});

but foobar is undefined. Anyone got through this?

You need a handle to the listener function itself. Name the function by doing something like 

var listener = function(tab_id) {

   console.log("tab changed" + tab_id);
});

Then manipulate your SelectionChanged listeners:

chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged.addListener(listener);

// Do stuff that changes selection.

// Unbind the listener.

chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged.removeListener(listener);
