I am developing a Chrome extension with browser action. I want to make some action on clicking on browser action icon (it is easy, not a problem), and show popup if user clicks on down arrow at the right side of the icon (that is a problem). So, we will receive a functionality similar to the firefox toolbarbutton from XUL. Is it possible to do such thing with Google Chrome?
Just want to make button, like that:
button
If it is pressed on the main part - it will do something, if on the right "drop-down" part - it will show quick settings page.
But I see only single button possibility.
The entire browserAction button works as a single button. There is no way to detect if a specific area was clicked. The best you can do is either have multiple extensions each having their own button for different actions or have options in the popup that the user selects with a second click.

The layout of my page has 6 tables and three buttons. Clicking on any of the buttons will change which table is shown on the main page, I did this through bookmarking. Now my question is, is there a way to have the button I click change to a certain color. To show / indicate which button is currently pressed? Or is there a dax function that could help with this as well. I know you can do the two-button thing one which is default and the other which is press button. But that is only for pressing and it reverts back to the same color after pressing. Or have the button bookmark to an identical page with a switch color icon. But that just leads to a lot of redundant work. I want it to where it stays the color until another button is pressed then that button changes color as its now the one picked.
There might be a simple solution but through google might have overlooked the answer.
Overlay a button with a lighter/darker color and include this in the bookmark that is activated by clicking the original button, so it will look like it's gone a dark/lighter shade.
Link closing the bookmark to the new overlay version of the button since it will be obscured by the overlay.
I'm implementing Accessibility in my application. Here's the scenario :
I have 4 buttons arranged horizontally at the very top of the screen (Activity). On the click of a button, I'm launching an Alert Dialog which displays something to the user. With the alert being displayed, I will still be able to perform click operations on those 4 buttons at the top of the screen. When I turn ON TalkBack (Android Accessibility Service) in Android device and click on that button, alert is getting displayed but I'm unable to move the focus (a yellow rectangular box which will be there when TalkBack feature is turned ON in Android phone) to those 4 buttons. Please help!
Try to set the below properties to your buttons
android:importantForAccessibility="yes"
android:focusable="true"
You won't be able to do it with a dialog, you'll need to fake it with a View.
Perhaps you are using the wrong component which is why it sounds odd when you describe it? A picture of your design would help provide some context.
As #aardrian says, the alert dialog is modal and will (and does) block user input from the underlying UI. Clicking away from the dialog or pressing back will dismiss the dialog.
With TalkBack enabled, the user will be able to press the system back button, use the back gesture (swipe down, then left) or select an option within the dialog to dismiss it.
Try to integrate voice control into your application via Accessibility TalkBack
Define 4 buttons, Alert Dialog Box as objects, selected by voice:
button 1
button 2
...

I am studying the limitations of voice control of Android smartphone/ device in Blind Mode ( eyes-free)
I have an element that fires some javascript on click.
Partially covering the element is a mostly-transparent graphic, which passes all events to that element. This way, regardless of if the overlay or the element is clicked, the element gets the events.
I'm trying to write a test in selenium that clicks the element under test and verifies the behavior, however the chrome webdriver tells me it can't click the element because the overlay will get the click event.
That is fine, though... How do I tell selenium that I don't care, to click anyways? I don't want to specifically click the overlay (in this test), the overlay is just eye-candy so the test should still work even if I remove the overlay.
edit:
To make clear... I want it to click in wherever it would have, if the overlay wasn't there. this way it'll click the element if there is no overlay, but click the overlay if covered.
You will not be able to click on the object under the overlay as Selenium has been written to only access what a user can access. If a manual user cannot click through then neither can Selenium.
You could either fire JavaScript directly on that object via the javascript_executor method, or alternatively, perform the interaction which will remove the overlay in your test
I could resolve this issue: In my application top header was visible and i clicked on one of the top elements (which was visible) and could continue with rest of the script execution
I solved this issue by clicking the coordinates of the close button.
Check out this answer. I showed how to click on the little "x" there, without needing to know the name of the actual button. Sometimes its easier to find the class of the image, for example.
Worst case, find the closest element to the button and change the last method to move_to_element_with_offset(element,x, y) to go from the element you found to the coordinates of the button on screen.
Once you do that, the overlay disappears and you can click as normal.
I am new to writing chrome extensions and was wondering how can i do the following.
How can i make the popup(when someone clicks on extension icon) display at the center of the webpage instead of displaying the popup at the top right corner ?
Use chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(), which fires "when a browser action icon is clicked." Then inject your popup manually into the DOM of the supplied tab, using something like chrome.tabs.executeScript().
Also consider adding a context-menu item, which might make more sense to a user depending on what your extension actually does.
I have a very simple Chrome extension which produces a bubble pop-out in the top-right of the screen. In the bubble I present the mobile version of our site.
Currently when the extension icon is clicked the bubble pops out and the mobile homepage loads. The user can click around within the bubble and use the mobile site as they wish.
However, once the user clicks outside the bubble is closes. Clicking again repeats the above process.
I wondered if there was a way to make the bubble pop-up/out persistent? So, instead of it disappearing when the user clicks elsewhere it stays loaded until the user clicks the extension icon again. This way the button acts as an on/off switch rather than a single event trigger.
Is this possible, and would someone mind directing me to the code which would help me do this?
As stated in the FAQs, this is not possible. However, chrome.windows.create may meet your needs.
