Google Contacts: Creating a Google Chrome App with Ext and the Google Data API http://www.sencha.com/blog/google-contacts-creating-a-google-chrome-app-with-ext-and-the-google-data-a When Google Chrome was released last week, I was interested in seeing how the Application mode feature worked. I revived an old project to interface with the Google Contacts Data API and built a small application to manage your google contacts which you can ‘install’. The example extends the Ext.data.DataProxy to allow you to populate a store with your contact information to bind to any store driven components such as Grid, EditorGrid, ComboBox and DataView. en-us jamie@extjs.com Copyright 2008 2008-09-09T17:01:10+00:00 Comment by Charles I’m digging the new Google Chrome, not sure it’s up to par with Firefox, but I think it has a good future ahead.

We are developing something similar and got into problem. Can you please clarify this sentence - “One additional caveat when using the Google JavaScript API is that you must have an image hosted at the same domain as your page or it cannot authenticate.” Looks like we are getting this same problem. Waiting early reply. Thanks. Very nice tutorial and application.

Is there anything different this time? Or is it just that people weren’t trying to build apps back then so it wasn’t interesting? perhaps I should stop being lazy and do some research myself o_O When I read of this application feature I thought ‘HTA’ right away, seems exactly the same, and HTA’s never became popular.

I didn’t know about Prism prior to the Chrome publicity, but it provides this ‘application window’ functionality for Firefox in much the same manner.

The Ext JS toolbar fits nicely inside it…making it feel like a typical desktop application. Such a simple idea - but a great one! I agree - the application mode feature is pretty cool.
