Is there a way to detect when Developer mode is enabled?
The reason I'd like to detect this, is because my extension produces a lot of debug information in the console. And to avoid unnecessary performance lose, I'd like to disable output if dev mode is disabled.
At the moment, I'm using this little hack, which only output data if extension is unpacked:
chrome.management.getSelf().then(data=>debug.show=data.installType=="development");
const debug = new Proxy({show:false,void:()=>{}},
{
get(target, prop)
{
return target.show ? console[prop].bind(console) : target.void;
}
});
But I'd like to be able to test it in packed state as well.

I have a hololens app I am creating that requires the best accuracy possible for hologram placement. This application will be used by numerous individuals. Whenever I try to show the application progress, I have to have the user go through the calibration process, otherwise the holograms appear to have way too much drift.
I would like to be able to call the hololens calibration process automatically when the application opens. Later, after I set up user authentication and id management, I will call the calibration process when a new user is found.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/calibration
I have looked into the calibration (via the above documentation and elsewhere) and it seems that all it is setting is IPD. However the alternative solutions I have found that allow for dynamic ipd adjustment appear to be invalid for UWP Store apps. This makes them unusable for me.
I am looking for any help or direction, or if this is even possible. Thank you.
Yes, it is possible to to this, you need to use the LaunchUriAsync protocol to launch the following URI: ms-hololenssetup://EyeTracking
Here is an example implementation, obtained from the LaunchUri example in MRTK
public void LaunchEyeTracking()
{
#if WINDOWS_UWP
UnityEngine.WSA.Application.InvokeOnUIThread(async () =>
{
bool result = await global::Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new System.Uri("ms-hololenssetup://EyeTracking"));
if (!result)
{
Debug.LogError("Launching URI failed to launch.");
}
}, false);
#else
Debug.LogError("Launching eye tracking not supported Windows UWP");
#endif
}
I was using Properties.Settings.Default to store persistent data between sessions. For example, I was using Properties.Settings.Default.mute to store a boolean of whether or not to mute sounds.
I went online and it recommends to use Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values. So I try setting Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["mute"] and using that, but that actually crashes the debugger, so I can't even debug whatever the issue is.
You have to set some data in Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["mute"] before use it, for example:
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["mute"] = true;
(or false or an other value ) the you can get it like this
var t = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["mute"];
I am running Win10 IoT on a pi 2. I need to be able to take pictures that are focused but cannot get the focus working. The application is a background app so I don't have a way of previewing the camera on a display. Is there any way of doing this? Currently I have
await _mediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync();
_mediaCapture.VideoDeviceController.FocusControl.Configure(new FocusSettings
{
Mode = FocusMode.Continuous,
WaitForFocus = true
});
await _mediaCapture.VideoDeviceController.FocusControl.FocusAsync();
await _mediaCapture.CapturePhotoToStreamAsync(ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg(), stream);
await _mediaCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
but I am getting the error
WinRT information: Preview sink not set
when I try to focus. All of the examples I've seen online show that the preview is output to a control and I assume it wires a sink up automagically. Is there a way to do this manually through code? Possibly without the preview?
I wonder if the code may work even without FocusControl.
I propose you follow Customer Media Sink implementation example and use of StartPreviewToCustomSinkIdAsync method described at http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/772038/Custom-Media-Sink-for-Use-with-Media-Foundation-To
I didn't find a way to do this. I ended up converting the background app to a UI app with a Page containing a CaptureElement control in order to preview and focus.
Instead of adding a UI, just create a CaptureElement and set the source to the _mediaCapture before calling await _mediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync();
Something like:
_captureElement = new CaptureElement { Stretch = Stretch.Uniform };
_mediaCapture = new MediaCapture();
await _mediaCapture.InitializeAsync(...);
_captureElement.Source = _mediaCapture;
await _mediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync();
As you all know Coded ui playback can be kind of slow depending on the controls you're querying.
To try and solve this issue I am looking at adding some multithreading capabilities to the test.
Here is a for loop which works successfully, now converted to a Parallel.For - only the control cannot be found (not at all).
Parallel.For(0, totalItems, (i, loopState) =>
{
DxLookup.OpenPopup();
var cell = _popupGrid.GetCell(viewName, column.ColumnName, i);
cell.DrawHighlight();
if (cell.ValueAsString == item)
{
found = true;
loopState.Stop();
}
});
The code fails on the DxLookup.OpenPopup - because the control is not found. Looks like it could be thread related.
How is it possible to access a test control from another thread then?
I am not too sure about Coded UI playback supports multi-threading capabilities check this link for playback related information
Configure Playback
you may try come other techniques to speedup the playback
what kind of app are you trying to test? if it's a winforms app multithrreading is problematic.
try testing wheter you can locate tha main app window or any kind of control. if not you'll know it's a threading problem. if you can locate any kind of control just not the desired control you'll be able to tweak the search configurations to loacte the control.
hope this helps
I asked this question before but didn't make it clear that I meant in user script, not in JavaScript from a webpage.So I'll be more clear now.
Is it possible to determine if Google Chrome is in incognito mode via a user-script (basically a script run as an extension in the browser, not a script being run on a webpage)?
To detect whether a window is in
incognito mode, check the incognito
property of the relevant Tab or
Window object. For example:
var bgPage = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
function saveTabData(tab, data) {
if (tab.incognito) {
bgPage[tab.url] = data; // Persist data ONLY in memory
} else {
localStorage[tab.url] = data; // OK to store data
}
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/overview.html
If you are developing an Extension then you can use the tabs API to determine if a window/tab incognito.
More information can be found on code.google.com.
If you are just working with a webpage or a userscript, it is not easy, and it is designed to be that way. However, I have noticed that all attempts to open a database (window.database) fail when in incongnito, this is because when in incognito no trace of data is allowed to be left on the users machine.
I haven't tested it but I suspect all calls to localStorage fail too.
Nowadays it's quite easy to do this from a content script. Just use
if(chrome.extension.inIncognitoContext) {
//you're incognito
} else {
//you're not
}
