I want to use service and web workers in a web application executed inside JxBrowser. It's said in JxBrowser's homepage that "supports the same web standards as Google Chrome", but haven't found anything inside its documentation about web workers, besides a reference to service/web/shared workers in a constants class file that doesn't clarify much about.
Anyone having used this features inside JxBrowser?
Does it implement Web Workers API?
What about other API's such as Cache API?
If anyone knows about this issues would be great, thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Web storage it's supported
The "supports the same web standards as Google Chrome" phrase means that the web pages developed with the latest web standards will be displayed in JxBrowser exactly as in Google Chrome.
JxBrowser doesn't provide Java API for the all web standards. It provides Java API for Web Storage, but it doesn't implement Web Workers API. I mean it doesn't allow working with Web Workers API directly from Java code, but you can work with it from JavaScript on the loaded in JxBrowser web pages.

Did anyone successfully implement Google Analytics 4 in an Adobe AIR app?
We have an Adobe AIR application (for Windows desktop) which currently sends tracking data to Google Analytics, and it works fine: we get to see the result in Google Analytics dashboards as well as in DataStudio.
Google documentation explains how to move from GA to GA4, but it relies on javascript in webpages, which is not relevant to an Adobe AIR project.
We tried to change the endpoint API URL, the GA property ID, add the api_secret & measurement_id parameters. We still don't see any data in GA dashboards.
We don't really know if switching to GA4 is supposed to be this straightforward, or if it would require a deeper rework of our actionscript code to take into account the new GA4 features & requirements.
This is very similar to this issue:
Google Analytics 4 - Measurement Protocol API used without gtag.js or firebase
GA4 seems to be very limiting compared to UA for non web and mobile apps; it seems to only support data from either the firebase or gtag SDKs or GTM (also web based). Apps such as desktop apps that previously used HTTP web requests via the Measurement Protocol are handicapped; it is only meant to augment the other data.
In my opinion this is a huge step back for GA.
Can we publish google app-script code in to a chrome extension tool. So far we developed a web app from app-script, which is working as a web application. What need to be done to convert it in to a chrome extension from google app-script Editor. Appreciations are shared for valuable suggestions.
I've developed both GAS Web Apps and Chrome Extensions and I can say with certainty that you cannot use Google Apps Script's GUI editor to develop a Chrome extension. They are two very different beasts.
For one, Google Apps Script, uses its own flavor of server-side javascript. Plus it leverages libraries and services unique to its platform.
A Chrome extension uses client-side javascript and it too has its own libraries and services.
Moreover, they handle user authentication a bit differently (even though they are leveraging the same OAuth2 flows under the hood).
But you might be able to integrate the two. You should be able to make POST requests to a Web App from a Chrome Extension, so that's one approach.
However GAS scripts are limited by quota restrictions so you might be better off rebuilding your app from the ground up as a self-contained Chrome Extension (the better option in my opinion).
I want to use web workers in a chrome app I plan on creating. But not certain if I can use all web apis in chrome app (or in this case web workers).
So my questions is: Can I use all web apis that the chrome browser can use in chrome apps
So I found the answer to it just a few minutes after posting this question
According to the Web API section in the chrome apps documentation:
In addition to the chrome.* APIs, extensions can use all the APIs that the browser provides to web pages and apps. If the browser doesn't support an API you want to use, you can bundle additional API libraries into your extension.
Don't worry about the term 'extension' in the quote above, it seems the documentation was copied from the extensions' web api section.
I have heard that push notifications are now supported in Chrome (including Android) as a website, but the documents I can find talk about chrome.gcm as only available in a Chrome App or Chrome Extension. What do I do?
chrome.gcm was a proprietary push API built for Chrome Apps and Extensions which the user has to install.
There is a new API called Push API (spec) which is a web standard based on service workers, and available to normal websites.
This walkthrough explains how to send notifications from your website and should get you up and running: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/push-notifications/
I'm developing a JavaScript application using the Google UI Service that I want to eventually deploy as a Google Web App.
I'd like to include several graphics in the user interface, but I'm finding the documentation for this on the Google developer pages quite thin.
Is there a way to "bundle" the graphics used in the app with the Web App?
Or do they need to be publicly available on a web page and referenced in the Web App by URL?
You cannot bundle them. You have to have them available publicly on the Internet and you can only create an Image object with the URL.
