Chrome extension: How to remove orphaned script after chrom extension update
(2 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
I've been building my first Chrome extension. It has been fun however I've run into a problem I've yet to solve.
I get the error in the devtools extentions Developer mode:
Uncaught Error: Extension context invalidated.
I pretty sure that upon update of my extension and hard refresh on my test https:// page that the contentScript.js gets injected multiple times. The older injected scripts are still trying to the dom injections but the ports are not open so it throws the error?
I have tried the solutions in both of these threads as well going through google groups:
Recursive "Extension context invalidated" error in console
Extension context invalidated. Chrome Extension
I am using manifest v3.
Can you please suggest a way that I can update my code to protect against this error?
Here is my manifest:
{
"name": "Focuser",
"description": "Focuses on a page during a specified time frame",
"version": "0.1.0",
"manifest_version": 3,
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"permissions": [
"storage",
"scripting",
"alarms"
],
"host_permissions": [
"<all_urls>"
]
}
My background script:
try {
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if ('undefined' !== typeof tab.url) {
// skip urls like "chrome://" to avoid extension error
if (tab.url?.startsWith("chrome://")) return undefined;
if(changeInfo.status == 'complete') {
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
files: ['contentScript.js'],
target: {tabId: tab.id}
})
}
}
})
} catch(e) {
console.log(e)
}
My conentScript (with classes removed)
/**

// Store and report the count

}

console.log('count', FC.getStoredCount())
}
init();
}

When the extension is auto-updated or reloaded on chrome://extensions page, its old content scripts are "orphaned" and can't use the chrome API anymore.
A universal solution is to re-inject the new content script in the above scenarios and send a DOM message to the orphaned content script so it can unregister its listeners and timers.
In your case, judging by the posted code, there's only setInterval, so the solution is simple:
var intervalId = setInterval(() => {
if (!chrome.runtime?.id) {
// The extension was reloaded and this script is orphaned
clearInterval(intervalId);
return;
}
//....................
//....................
//....................
}, 45000);
And of course you can re-inject the new content script if necessary.

Loading Images from URL Is Producing Unexpected Results

I am loading images from Wikipedia into a Grid view. For the most part this is working correctly. Because there could possible be up to 200 or more images being loaded I am try to run it in a new thread. I see a definite delay when scrolling from my Album tab to the Artist tab that is loading the images. I am also see some lag as images are still getting load while scrolling up and down the list. Also when I scroll back to the top of the list place holders that previously occupied by the default image because I am unable to get an image from Wikipedia are now occupied by images from another artist.
When I scroll back to the song list and then back to the artist list the view is reset but it still has a lot of delay when going into the artist tab.
This image is what the screen looks like when first entering the Artist tab.
This image is what the screen looks like after scrolling to the bottom of the list and back to the top.
As you can see the <unknow. and AJR have had their default image replaced.
Here is my code that I am calling to load the images from Wikipedia.
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ARV holder, int position) {
Artist artist = artistList.get(position);
if(artist!=null) {
holder.artistName.setText(artist.artistName);
String bandName = artist.artistName;
bandName = bandName.replace(' ','_');
try {
String imageUrl = cutImg(getUrlSource("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles="+bandName+"&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=250"));
URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(imageUrl, holder.artistImage,
new DisplayImageOptions.Builder().cacheInMemory(true).showImageOnLoading(R.drawable.album)
.resetViewBeforeLoading(true).build());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
/*ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(getCoverArtPath(context,artist.id),holder.artistImage,
new DisplayImageOptions.Builder().cacheInMemory(true).showImageOnLoading(R.drawable.album)
.resetViewBeforeLoading(false).build());*/
}
}
private StringBuilder getUrlSource(String site) throws IOException {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
URL localUrl = null;
localUrl = new URL(site);
URLConnection conn = localUrl.openConnection();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
String html;
StringBuilder ma = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
ma.append(line);
Log.i(ContentValues.TAG, "StringBuilder " + ma);
}
Log.i(ContentValues.TAG, "Final StringBuilder " + ma);
return ma;
}
public static String cutImg(StringBuilder split){
int start=split.indexOf("\"source\":")+new String("\"source\":\"").length();
split.delete(0, start);
split.delete(split.indexOf("\""), split.length());
Log.i(ContentValues.TAG, "StringBuilder " + split);
return split.toString();
}
Here is the code that is call the Artist Fragment.
public class ArtistFragment extends Fragment {
int spanCount = 3; // 2 columns
int spacing = 20; // 20px
boolean includeEdge = true;
private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private ArtistAdapter adapter;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_artist, container, false);
recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.artistFragment);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 3));
Thread t = new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
// put whatever code you want to run inside the thread here.
new LoadData().execute("");
}
};
t.start();
return view;
}
public class LoadData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
if(getActivity()!=null) {
adapter=new ArtistAdapter(getActivity(),new ArtistLoader().artistList(getActivity()));
}
return "Executed";
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
if(getActivity()!=null) {
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(spanCount, spacing, includeEdge));
}
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
}
}
I have also tried this using Picasso using the following code:
bandName = artist.artistName;
bandName = bandName.replace(' ','_');
try {
String imageUrl = cutImg(getUrlSource("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles="+bandName+"&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=250"));
URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
Picasso.get().load(imageUrl).placeholder(R.drawable.album)
.error(R.drawable.artistdefault).into(holder.artistImage);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The results are pretty much the same as when I used Android-Universal-Image-Loader. I have been try for several days to fix this, I have tried several different examples that I found on Stack overflow but none of them seem to resolve the issues I am seeing. I am hoping that someone will be able to identify what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks in advance.

I believe I have resolved most of the issues I was previously seeing I am now down to the following problems:
Artist.item.map { artist -> - Not sure how this should be called, Unresolved reference: item
}.awaitAll().forEach { response -> = forEach is telling me Overload resolution ambiguity. All these functions match.

newItems.add(Artist(id, title, url)) - I know that the variables for the Artist Model need to go here, but when I put them there they are unresolved.
I have reworked the ArtistAdapter not sure if it is correct though.

It looks to me as a known bug with Picasso.
Try to load default image manually so it won't be replaced with cached one.
Update 14.10.20:
I think the main problem is that you load network content in adapter in rather ineffective way. I suggest to form a list of all urls at first, leaving only image load in adapter.
Also reccomend you to use rerofit2 for network calls and something for async work instead of AsyncTask: rxJava, courutines, flow etc.
I created a sample project to load data async using retrofit2+coroutines.
In activity:
private val viewModelScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main)
private fun initWikiService() {
retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://en.wikipedia.org/")
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build()
wikiService = retrofit?.create(WikiService::class.java)
}
private fun initList() {
viewModelScope.launch {
val wikiPages = getWikiPages()
adapter?.items = wikiPages
}
}
private val viewModelScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main + viewModelJob)
private suspend fun getWikiPages(): ArrayList<Item> {
val newItems = ArrayList<Item>()
withContext(IO) {
ArtistData.artists.map { artist ->
async { wikiService?.getWikiData(artist) }
}.awaitAll().forEach { response ->
val pages = response?.body()?.query?.pages
pages?.let {
for (page in pages) {
val value = page.value
val id = value.pageid?.toLong() ?: value.title.hashCode().toLong()
val title = value.title ?: "Unknown"
val url = value.thumbnail?.source
newItems.add(Item(id, title, url))
}
}
}
}
return newItems
}
In viewHolder:
fun onBind(item: Item) {
if (item.url != null) {
Picasso.get()
.load(item.url)
.resize(dimension, dimension)
.centerCrop()
.error(R.drawable.ic_baseline_broken_image_24)
.into(pictureView)
} else {
pictureView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_image_24)
}
}
In adapter: add hasStableIds() to constructor and override getItemId method:
init {
hasStableIds()
}
override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long = items[position].id
Retrofit Service:
interface WikiService {
#GET("/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=250")
suspend fun getWikiData(#Query("titles") band: String): Response<WikipediaResponse?>
}

CefSharp Javascript registration and execution is not working in Release 79.1.36

I tried to upgrade CefSharp from Version 69.0.0.0 to 79.1.36.
I could not get the Javascript interaction working.
The registration changed from
this.Browser.RegisterJsObject
to
this.Browser.JavascriptObjectRepository.Register
according to https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/2990.
When I execute EvaluateScriptAsync, I get a response back with Status Canceled.
Trying to understand how to implement it correctly, I examined the CefSharp.WpfExample and noticed that the Javascript functionality in the example WPF application does not work either.
The Execute Javascript (asynchronously) does not do anything when clicking the Run button.
The Evaluate Javascript (Async) returns:
Uncaught ReferenceError: bound is not defined # about:blank:1:0
Did the Javascript functionality break in the latest release?
Update
Here is how it is used in our code.
This is the registration
public void RegisterJavaScriptHandler(string name, object handler)
{
try
{
CefSharpSettings.LegacyJavascriptBindingEnabled = true;
this.Browser.JavascriptObjectRepository.Register(name, handler, false, new BindingOptions() { CamelCaseJavascriptNames = false });
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
This is the EvaluateScriptAsync part
public void InitializeLayers()
{
try
{
int count = _mapLogic.Layers.Count();
foreach (WMSLayer layer in _mapLogic.Layers)
{
if (!_loadedLayers.Contains(layer))
{
var script = string.Format("addWMSLayer('{0}', '{1}', '{2}', '{3}', '{4}', '{5}', '{6}', '{7}', '{8}', '{9}')",
layer.ProviderCode.Url, layer.AttributionText, layer.AttributionHref,
layer.Layer, layer.FormatCode.Format, layer.ServerType, layer.Res1, layer.Res2, layer.Res3, layer.Res4);
var response = this.ECBBrowser.Browser.EvaluateScriptAsync(script, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1));
response.ContinueWith(t =>
{
count--;
if (count == 0) this.initializeMap();
});
_loadedLayers.Add(layer);
}
else
{
count--;
if(count == 0) this.initializeMap();
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
Update II
I now believe something has changed with the resource loading.
This is what I have (unimportant parts are left out).
public class ECBSchemeHandler : IResourceHandler
{
private string _mimeType;
private Stream _stream;
public bool Open(IRequest request, out bool handleRequest, ICallback callback)
{
var result = open(request, callback);
handleRequest = result;
return result;
}
public bool Read(Stream dataOut, out int bytesRead, IResourceReadCallback callback)
{
return read(dataOut, out bytesRead, callback);
}
public bool ReadResponse(Stream dataOut, out int bytesRead, ICallback callback)
{
return read(dataOut, out bytesRead, callback);
}
private bool open(IRequest request, ICallback callback)
{
var u = new Uri(request.Url);
var file = u.Authority + u.AbsolutePath;
var ass = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var resourcePath = ECBConfiguration.DEFAULT_ASSEMBLY_NAMESPACE + "." + file.Replace("/", ".");
if (ass.GetManifestResourceInfo(resourcePath) != null)
{
Task.Run(() =>
{
using (callback)
{
_stream = ass.GetManifestResourceStream(resourcePath);
var fileExtension = Path.GetExtension(file);
_mimeType = ResourceHandler.GetMimeType(fileExtension);
callback.Continue();
}
});
return true;
}
else
{
callback.Dispose();
}
return false;
}
private bool read(Stream dataOut, out int bytesRead, IDisposable callback)
{
callback.Dispose();
if (_stream == null)
{
bytesRead = 0;
return false;
}
//Data out represents an underlying buffer (typically 32kb in size).
var buffer = new byte[dataOut.Length];
bytesRead = _stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
dataOut.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
return bytesRead > 0;
}
}
}

Using the built-in ResourceHandlers as pointed out by #amaitland solved the problem with the Javascript registration.

Remember Me button in android app

I have recently created a new plugin for an android app I've been working on. This plugin requires the use of a remember me function that I cant seem to get working properly. Within my code I've designated the use of shared properties at the top and the string pass.
View thisScreensView = null;
String errormessage = "";
String errormessageTextColor = "";
String errormessageText = "";
String rememberTextText = "";
String rememberTextTextColor = "";
String voucherTextfieldPlaceholder = "";
String voucherTextfieldSecureTextEntry = "";
boolean voucherTextfieldSecureTextEntryBool = false;
String iphoneImage = "";
String ipadImage = "";
String errormessageInvalid = "";
String errormessageRemember = "";
private TextView errormessageTextView = null;
private EditText voucherTextfieldEditText = null;
private ImageView imageView = null;
private Button submitButton = null;
private Switch rememberSwitch = null;
private Drawable myHeaderImageDrawable = null;
private String alphaImage = "", pass;
private static BT_item screenObjectToLoad = null;
SharedPreferences sharedpreferences;
I have it assigning the variable pass into the designated text box with this code:
voucherTextfieldEditText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
rememberSwitch = (Switch) thisScreensView.findViewById(R.id.rememberSwitch);
// set the switch to ON
rememberSwitch.setText(errormessageRemember);
rememberSwitch.setChecked(true);
// attach a listener to check for changes in state
rememberSwitch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked) {
BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ":rememberSwitch is ON");
// switchStatus.setText("Switch is currently ON");
//voucherTextfieldEditText.setText(pref.getString(pass, null));
} else {
BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ":rememberSwitch is OFF");
// switchStatus.setText("Switch is currently OFF");
}
}
});
// check the current state before we display the screen
if (rememberSwitch.isChecked()) {
BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ":rememberSwitch is ON");
// switchStatus.setText("Switch is currently ON");
//voucherTextfieldEditText.setText(pass);
if (voucherTextfieldEditText!=null) {
//voucherTextfieldEditText.setText(sharedPreferences.getString(pass, ""));
}
if (pass != null) {
String textfield = sharedpreferences.getString("PASS", pass);
//voucherTextfieldEditText.setText(sharedPreferences.getString("PASS", pass));
voucherTextfieldEditText.setText(textfield);
}
}
else {
BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ":rememberSwitch is OFF");
// switchStatus.setText("Switch is currently OFF");
}
//
// submit click listener..
submitButton = (Button) thisScreensView.findViewById(R.id.submitButtonVoucher);
submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
launchScreen(voucherTextfieldEditText.getText().toString());
}
});
// return the layout file as the view for this screen..
return thisScreensView;
}// onCreateView...
Then I set the shared preferences string "PASS" with this line of code:
if (loadScreenNickname.length() > 1 && !loadScreenNickname.equalsIgnoreCase("none")) {
// before we launch the next screen...
if (!rememberSwitch.isChecked()) {
voucherTextfieldEditText.setText("");
}
if (rememberSwitch.isChecked()){
//voucherTextfieldEditText.setText("");
//editor.putString(pass, voucherTextfieldEditText.getText().toString().trim());
//editor.apply();
pass = voucherTextfieldEditText.getText().toString();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
editor.putString("PASS", pass);
editor.apply();
}
errormessageTextView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
errormessageTextView.invalidate();

However anything I exit and restart the application, even if the remember me button is checked, it doesn't remember the previous value and the app ends up crashing due to a null. Everything else in the code works except the Remember Me. If anyones got any ideas I could use them?

You are not initializing your sharedPreference. try to initialize it.

Google's Text-To-Speech API from Android app

I want to use Google's Text-To-Speech API in an Android app but I only could find the way to do it from web (Chrome). This is my first attempt to play "Hello world" from the app.
playTTS is the onClick and it is been executed, but no sound is played. Is there any JS/Java library I need to import? Is it possible to generate an audio file from it?
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myBrowser = new WebView(this);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
public void playTTS(View view) {
myBrowser.loadUrl("javascript:speechSynthesis.speak(
SpeechSynthesisUtterance('Hello World'))");
}

In Android java code your Activity/other Class should implement TextToSpeech.OnInitListener. You will get a TextToSpeech instance by calling TextToSpeech(context, this). (Where context refers to your application's Context -- can be this in an Activity.) You will then receive a onInit() callback with status which tells whether the TTS engine is available or not.
You can talk by calling tts.speak(textToBeSpoken, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null) or tts.speak(textToBeSpoken, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null). The first one will interrupt any "utterance" that is still being spoken and the latter one will add the new "utterance" to a queue. The last parameter is not mandatory. It could be an "utterance id" defined by you in case you want to monitor the TTS status by setting an UtteranceProgressListener. (Not necessary)
In Java code a simple "TTS talker" class could be something like:
public class MyTtsTalker implements TextToSpeech.OnInitListener {
private TextToSpeech tts;
private boolean ttsOk;
// The constructor will create a TextToSpeech instance.
MyTtsTalker(Context context) {
tts = new TextToSpeech(context, this);
}
#Override
// OnInitListener method to receive the TTS engine status
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
ttsOk = true;
}
else {
ttsOk = false;
}
}
// A method to speak something
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation") // Support older API levels too.
public void speak(String text, Boolean override) {
if (ttsOk) {
if (override) {
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
else {
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
}
}
}
}
