awwsmm / java-api-search Goto Github PK

The latter versions of the Javadoc API reset the "search" box multiple times. So if we try to set it immediately, it gets overwritten. This is why I have the

setTimeout(function() {
...
}, 1500);

block inside the innermost chrome.tabs.executeScript() call. Surely there's a better way to do this, but I haven't yet figured it out. Note that this issue will be obsolesced if #1 can be resolved.

This Omnibox extension uses a rather roundabout way of getting search results from the Java API, and that's to (1) open the page, (2) simulate a search entry, and (3) grab the first result. A better way of handling this would be to interact with the Javadoc web API itself, but I haven't yet figured out how to do that.
