Android Question Javascript

[MODERN TALKING]

Hi guys,

Wanna OPEN a Tab in Chrome - then CLOSE the same Tab

They say it is possible here:

You can only close windows/tabs that you create yourself. That is, you cannot programmatically close a window/tab that the user creates.

For example, if you create a window with window.open() you can close it with window.close().

<scriptsrc="~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script><script>var win;
$(document).ready(function(){var url ='this tab url';
win = window.open(url,'_self');
window.stop();});function closeWindow(){
win.close();}</script>

Then in html
<ahref="javascript:closeWindow();">close</a>

If there are multiple tusk to load then wait some times by this
setTimeout(function(){//do something special//window.stop(); },5000);

Can some kind soul tell me how to morph this Javascript into B4A?

Thank you so much!

This seems to be the answer - but how to implement in B4A?

Nein sprechen sie Javascript


I think you can only close a tab that was opened using Javascript. like:

function openWin(){
myWindow = window.open("","myWindow","width=200, height=100");// Opens a new window}

function closeWin(){
myWindow.close();// Closes the new window}

Your app cannot control Chrome tabs.

Thank you Erel

Is it possible to CLOSE CHROME? Activity.Finish perhaps?

There is no "StopActivity(Chrome)" or "CloseActivity(Chrome)?

If I LAUNCH the Chrome browser from my code - can I then CLOSE the entire Browser? How do I FINISH this Activity?

Is it possible to CLOSE CHROME?

No. You can not control other apps. (i already told you months ago)

Activity.Finish perhaps?

This will close your activity. Not the Chrome app

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Thank you Don

But what if I launch Chrome and Chrome itself is the Activity?

StartActivity(Chrome)

 

[DonManfred]

It is NOT a activity of your app!

You can use a webview inside YOUR APP and load the url inside this Webview. HERE you have more control (Activity.finish or webview.loadURL and load another url instead as the webview is part of your app)

 

[DonManfred]

If I LAUNCH the Chrome browser from my code - can I then CLOSE the entire Browser?

Again: NO. You can not control other apps

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Wunderbar Don. I think for Demo - best is to utilise Webview

You gave a very good suggestion. Thank you so much mein freund

I best get to work. Thank you Erel and Don. Precious and helpful people
