I am developing an HTML5 app specifically for Android and Chrome . The problem I have stems from the requirement to track open browser tabs. I do this by creating a unique ID stored in each tab's sessionStorage. I then track the open tabs by registering each ID in a localStorage array that each tab has access to.
The problem is that I cannot remove the ID from localStorage when closing a tab by using the window.onunload event. The code works fine in desktop Chrome but I cannot get it working in Android.
$(window).on('beforeunload', function () {
removeWindowGUID();
});
function removeWindowGUID() {
var guid = sessionStorage.getItem("WindowGUID");
var tmp = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("WindowGUIDs"));
tmp = tmp.remove(guid); // remove is a custom prototype fn
localStorage.setItem("WindowGUIDs", JSON.stringify(tmp));
}
This event will fire when reloading a page, which is fine, just not on closing. I have also tried using the pagehide event.
Depends on the browser. Some use .onunload
, some use onbeforeunload
.
Quickest solution is
window.onunload = window.onbeforeunload = function() {
var guid = sessionStorage.getItem("WindowGUID");
var tmp = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("WindowGUIDs"));
tmp = tmp.remove(guid); // remove is a custom prototype fn
localStorage.setItem("WindowGUIDs", JSON.stringify(tmp));
});
Tested on gingerbread, ICS & jelly bean using native android browser.
I did something similar, the errors were exactly the same. I noticed if call window.close() programmatically, the event is called. I just added my own 'close' button on the page.
