rated 0 times [ 86] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 28459 / 11 Years ago, fri, october 4, 2013, 12:00:00

I want to display a simple alert when user clicks on my extension icon. I have tried this code :

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(

    alert(1)

);

Here is my manifest :

{

  manifest_version: 2,



  name: sample,

  description: des,

  version: 1.0,



  browser_action: {

    default_icon: icon.png

  },

  permissions: [

  ]

}

How do I show an alert onClick event ?

According the browserAction documentation it is like:

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() { 

  alert('Hello, World!'); 

})

and here is the sample from Google (zip-file):

var min = 1;

var max = 5;

var current = min;



function updateIcon() {

  chrome.browserAction.setIcon({path:"icon" + current + ".png"});

  current++;



  if (current > max)

    current = min;

}



chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(updateIcon);

updateIcon();
