Atul,
Thanks again for the pointer. I have an initial version of the bridge
between feedly and ubiquity up and running. Looking through the code,
I saw that there is a way to add a feed just for the duration of the
browser session. This approach simplifies lifecycle from our
perspective because if the user disables or un-installs the feedly
extension, it will automatically remove the command by preventing the
extension to install them. Is there any reason you would recommend
against that builtIn=true approach?
Thank you,
Edwin
Here is what the resulting source code looks like:
///////////////////////////////////////
// Registration of Ubiquity Commands //
///////////////////////////////////////
function getExtensionDir() {
var extMgr = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;
1"]
.getService
(Components.interfaces.nsIExtensionManager);
return extMgr.getInstallLocation( "fee...@devhd" ).getItemLocation
( "fee...@devhd" );
}
function getBaseUri() {
var ioSvc = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;
1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
var extDir = getExtensionDir();
var baseUri = ioSvc.newFileURI(extDir).spec;
return baseUri;
}
function installUbiquityCommands()
{
var url = getBaseUri() + "content/app/ubiquity/commands.js"
var jsm = {};
Components.utils.import("resource://ubiquity/modules/setup.js",
jsm);
jsm.UbiquitySetup.createServices().feedManager.addSubscribedFeed( {
url: url,
sourceUrl: url,
canAutoUpdate: true,
isBuiltIn: true
} );
}
