i know how to run packaged apps from 'chrome://extensions/' section. Is there any way run chrome packaged app from the link on the website ?
No. It's launched from the App Launcher.
You can't achieve that from chrome://extensions, but you can use this app to show a similar extensions and apps list. This one does have a launch link in each one.

Some of my applications are downloaded from the playmarket, ads are removed and posted on various sites in apk format for manual installation. Is there any legal way in flutter to check when the application is launched how it was installed?
There is currently a package developed that checks exactly what you want.
I'm trying to implement mobile application using Ionic. I'm following this, but unfortunately logging in doesn't work on real device. It works fine in the browser and the emulator. I did every step from the tutorial, I did the tutorial 2-3 times and still get the same error.
I am logged in successfully on my device but then I see the following screen:
I already have both urls as redirect urls in my application settings in FB.
http://localhost:5000/oauthcallback.html
https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
I tried to debug OpenFB with alerts. I can see "cordova events" alert but then I have alerts on the first lines of loginWindow_loadStartHandler and loginWindow_exitHandler but they are not executed. I guess that the problem is there but I have no idea how to fix it.
if (runningInCordova) {
alert("cordova events");
loginWindow.addEventListener('loadstart', loginWindow_loadStartHandler);
loginWindow.addEventListener('exit', loginWindow_exitHandler);
}
Also I have some questions about Ionic and Phonegap.
I use Ubuntu and I am trying to build iOS and Android applications.
My application's structure is:
app/
hooks/
platforms/
plugins/
scss/
www/
Also I have InAppBrowser plugin:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser
but this plugin is not part of app/www folder.
I am trying to build a phonegap application in their site. I made a .rar file of the app/www folder content and upload it. Everything seems to be fine. But in Phonegap site when I click PLUGINS, I see This application has no plugins. How should I add inappbrowser to the application, maybe that is the reason why my FB authentication doesn't work. If I build the whole app folder, again I see the same message - This application has no plugins.
So when create an archive file of the content for Phonegap, which folder I should archive - the whole app folder with all subfolders or only app/www? What is the correct flow? Also how crossplatform app should now about added plugins?
I ran into this issue today, if someone is still looking for the solution for this:
loginWindow.addEventListener('loadstart',
loginWindow_loadStartHandler);
is implemented in the js file, but the loadstart event never fires on my Android (but works on WindowsPhone cordova javascript app), instead i added:
loginWindow.addEventListener('loadstop',
loginWindow_loadStartHandler);
,which works on both Android and WP (with InAppBrowser 1.2.0), IOS test is still ahead.
i am building my first phonegap app and when i open the app i instantly redirecting (window.location) the user to my server where my web app is hosted. Is it possible to load the phonegap plugins from there? Because the "deviceready" event is not firing and i cannot call any plugin functions.
I can confirm that loading remotely does appear to allow access to native components (when scripts are properly loaded) and that cordova.jsdoes not appear to need to be loaded by the local index.html bootstrap.
Short answer: Yes
Some 'gotcha's'
You will have to supply correct cordova.js version for the platform browsing to your site.
you can look here for more info https://github.com/apache/cordova-js. This project hosts the core js elements, and builds the platform specific cordova.js lib
Any plugin api's your app wants to interact with must be pre-installed into the Native App
any plugin with native code will have to be added to the project and deployed to device bundled inside the app. There is no way to lazyload native code. The js portions of the plugin could be hosted on your server, however.
More information, some apps that do this
The PhoneGap Developer App uses a similar technique to what is describe above and what you want. The only difference is that it is meant as a dev tool, and the server is a local dev machine.
The Cordova App Harness also uses this technique of pre-bundling an app package with plugins, to be consumed by remotely hosted resources
You cannot, deviceready only functioning if the app run on mobile phone environment only. If web based or dekstop application, it won't trigger.
No , dont do that . loading remote website will not able to intract with your plugins . and the app will get rejected on istore too
Once an inline Chrome app is installed, ie chrome.webstore.install(undefined,success(),fail()); // where success() is called ... how do you have the website automatically run the app?
Similarly, if chrome.app.isInstalled==true how do you have the website run the app?
If you are launching it from an extension, use chrome.management.launchApp:
chrome.management API for chrome extensions https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management.html#method-launchApp
Edit: At this point I don't know of any way to launch a chrome packaged app using javascript other than the above. If you inspect the chrome object in the console you'll see that neither the chrome.app or the chrome.webstore objects provide any launching methods for installed apps.
Make your app externally_connectable and grant your website permission to connect.
In the website's code, use chrome.runtime.sendMessage (or chrome.runtime.connect in case you need a more involved communication channel) to send commands to your app.
In the app's event page, add a chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal listener to process commands from the website. From there, you can call chrome.app.window.open() just as you would from an onLaunched listener.
We have built Packaged App for our Web Application.
Is it possible to provide Chrome installer in a Packaged App bundle or somehow trigger Chrome installation in the background from Packaged App.
Currently Chrome Browser is separate Dependancy for using Packaged Apps so it is difficult to convince Users to first install Chrome browser.
Also, people can install the App for any location as a complete package.
It's not possible yet, but you can star http://crbug.com/173762 to get notified when it does work.
