I want to trigger the click, to which following code is listening:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {});
The reason is that I have a working extension, which is listening in a background-script (the addListener above) and executes some scripts on click:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {file: 'abc.js'});
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {file: 'xxx.js'});
});
And now I want to trigger this "onClicked" from a context-menu:
var myContextPage = chrome.contextMenus.create({"title": myTitle, "contexts":["page"],
"onclick": fctContext});
So, I thought, that the easiest way would be to have "click" in fctContext. Maybe there is a better way, but I don't how to solve my problem. I also tried to run "executeScript" but this isn't working neither.
Thanks in advance!
//Update
Solution from answers: This solution is working:
//Shared code. When the argument length is two, it is coming from the context
// menu, while a single argument is coming from the browser action.
function fctContext() {
var tab = arguments.length == 2 ? arguments[1] : arguments[0];
// Do whatever you want with the tab.
}
// Browser Action
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(fctContext);
// Context Menu
chrome.contextMenus.create({
title: myTitle,
contexts: ['page'],
onclick: fctContext
});
Solution after testing some other things:
function fctStart() {
chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab){
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {file: 'abc.js'});
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {file: 'xxx.js'});
});
}
In this case, fctStart() is working from any point without having to pass the tab.
