I'm migrating my NW.js v0.12.3 to the new NW.js v0.17.3. In my old app, I used to open a window to show an incoming call notification. And if the user answered the call or hangs up I closed the window based in a special event listener.
This is my code which works with no problems in v0.12.3:
var notificationWin;
window.onload = function () {
var messageHandler = function(event) {
if(event.data.key == 'incomingCall'){
win.requestAttention(1);
notificationWin = gui.Window.open('notification.html', {
frame: false,
toolbar: false,
focus: true,
icon: "app/imgs/traywinaz.png",
title:"Incoming Call"
});
notificationWin.on ('loaded', function(){
....
});
}else if(event.data.key == 'callRejected' || event.data.key == 'callAnswered' || event.data.key == 'callCanceled' ){
notificationWin.close();
}
}
window.addEventListener('message', messageHandler, false);
}
But in the new version I cant close the window in the call rejected or answered events. I can't get the notification window to close it.
My new code looks like this:
var messageHandler = function(event) {
if(event.data.key == 'incomingCall'){
win.requestAttention(1);
nw.Window.open('app/notification.html', {
frame: false,
focus: true,
icon: "app/imgs/traywinaz.png",
id: "callNotification"
}, function(new_notification) {
new_notification.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
new_notification.setVisibleOnAllWorkspaces(true);
new_notification.on ('loaded', function(){
....
});
});
}else if(event.data.key == 'callRejected' || event.data.key == 'callAnswered' || event.data.key == 'callCanceled' ){
try{
notificationWin = nw.Window.get('app/notification.html');
notificationWin.close();
}catch(e){
console.log(e);
}
}
};
I can only get the window inside the callback so I also tried to do something like this inside the callback:
notificationWin = new_notification;
but this closes my main window.
Any ideas of what I am doing wrong or how can I achieve this?
The documentation http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/References/Window/#windowgetwindow_object says Window.get([window_object]) but no idea how to get the [window_object] parameter in the new version.
Coming back to this, I resolved it by saving the reference inside de callback : "notificationWin = new_notification;" and then just calling notificationWin.close();
The first time I tried this it closed my main window but now works : )
