Open hangout in new tab - google-api

I've integrated a hangout button into my website. When I click it a child window is opened. Is it possible to make hangout opened in current tab or in a new tab (like a usual link does)?
I've looked through Hangout Button documentation but haven't found anything like this (while I believe I saw it somewhere over the Internet).
Update There was a couple of examples how you can specify a new hangout url without Hangout Button in the answers and comment. But no proves were provided that this is a reliable way and no documentation was provided about the ways to specify additional parameters (e. g. startDate for Hangout App).
Update 2 I've found that when you create a new hangout app Google Develope Console provides a Hangout link:
with the following url: https://hangoutsapi.talkgadget.google.com/hangouts?authuser=0&gid=appId. Does it work only for sandbox? Is there any way to specify other parameters like startData?

I use the following to open hangout in a new tab
<a target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=<app_id">Start a Hangout</a>
Use the query parameter gd=somevalue to pass your app an initial set of data
https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/running#passing-data
I send start data like this
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=<app_id">&gd=<start_data>
and also like this
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>
<div id="placeholder-rr"></div>
<script>
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-rr', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'initial_apps': [{'app_id' : 'Your app_id', 'start_data' : 'Put your start data here', 'app_type' : 'ROOM_APP' }],
'widget_size': 175
});
</script>

Checked the documentation, doesn't seem that the button is meant to be flexible with configuration.
If you're looking for a coding solution apart than:
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-div', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'initial_apps': [{'app_id' : '184219133185', 'start_data' : 'dQw4w9WgXcQ', 'app_type' : 'ROOM_APP' }],
'widget_size': 200
});
Deferred execution and language configuration:
window.___gcfg = {
lang: 'zh-CN',
parsetags: 'onload'
};
not much can be done.
On the manual side, holding ⌘ (CTRL on windows) while clicking on the button will open the hangout in a new tab instead.
Tested successfully on Chrome and Safari.
Unsuccessful on Firefox.

There is a plain link button available:
https://hangoutsapi.talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=APP_ID
You can simply open this link in a new tab:
Hangout

Xamarin Forms WebView open external link

I have a webview inside my application and when an external link is clicked (that in normal browser is open in a new tab), I can't then go back to my website.
It is possible when a new tab is open to have the menu closed that tab like Gmail do ?
The objective is that, whenever a link is clicked, the user would have the choice to choose which option to view the content with, e.g. Clicking a link would suggest open youtube app or google chrome. The purpose is to appear the google chrome option
Or what suggestions do you have to handle this situation ?
If I understood you correctly, you want to have the option to select how to open the web link - inside your app, or within another app's (browser) context.
If this is correct, then you can use Xamarin.Essentials: Browser functionality.
public async Task OpenBrowser(Uri uri)
{
await Browser.OpenAsync(uri, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred);
}
Here the important property is the BrowserLaunchMode flag, which you can learn more about here
Basically, you have 2 options - External & SystemPreferred.
The first one is clear, I think - it will open the link in an external browser.
The second options takes advantage of Android's Chrome Custom Tabs & for iOS - SFSafariViewController
P.S. You can also customise the PreferredToolbarColor, TitleMode, etc.
Edit: Based from your feedback in the comments, you want to control how to open href links from your website.
If I understood correctly, you want the first time that you open your site, to not have the nav bar at the top, and after that to have it. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
You can have the opposite behaviour achieved - the first time that you open a website, to have the nav bar and if the user clicks on any link, to open it externally (inside a browser). You have 2 options for this:
To do it from your website - change the a tag's target to be _blank like this;
To do it from your mobile app - create a Custom renderer for the WebView. In the Android project's renderer implementation, change the Control's WebViewClient like so:
public class CustomWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(Android.Webkit.WebView view, IWebResourceRequest request)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, request.Url);
CrossCurrentActivity.Current.StartActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}

Switching manually between tabs in personal msteams application

I have two tabs in my personal msteams application and I would like to navigate between them dynamically. Is it possible? I've tried to use microsoftTeams.getTabInstances method from msteams SDK to get my tabs and after that navigate to the chosen tab by invoking microsoftTeams.navigateToTab but this approach doesn't work - I get null from microsoftTeams.getTabInstances. My user is logged in (I've read somewhere that user must be logged in).
I've not tried exactly this action, but I believe you should be able to do what you're trying using Deep Links. In particular, see the Deep linking from your tab where it talks about
This is useful if your tab needs to link to [...] another tab [...]
and the syntax is
microsoftTeams.executeDeepLink(/*deepLink*/);
Just a reminder that in deep link syntax, e.g. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<appId>/<entityId>, the appid is your Teams app id, and the "entityId" must match the "entityId" for your tab in your Teams manifest file.
You can deeplink to content in Teams from your tab. This is useful if your tab needs to link to other content in Teams such as to a channel, message, another tab or even to open a scheduling dialog. To trigger a deeplink from your tab you should call:
var encodedWebUrl = encodeURI('https://tasklist.example.com/123/456&label=Task 456');
var encodedContext = encodeURI('{"subEntityId": "task456"}');
var taskItemUrl = 'https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/fe4a8eba-2a31-4737-8e33-e5fae6fee194/tasklist123?webUrl=' + encodedWebUrl + '&context=' + encodedContext;
Please take a look Deep Link to your tab

Is it possible to force fail a recaptcha v2 for testing purposes? (I.e. pretend to be a robot)

I'm implementing an invisible reCAPTCHA as per the instructions in the documentation: reCAPTCHA V2 documentation
I've managed to implement it without any problems. But, what I'd like to know is whether I can simulate being a robot for testing purposes?
Is there a way to force the reCAPTCHA to respond as if it thought I was a robot?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In the Dev Tools, open Settings, then Devices, add a custom device with any name and user agent equal to Googlebot/2.1.
Finally, in Device Mode, at the left of the top bar, choose the device (the default is Responsive).
You can test the captcha in https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo?invisible=true
(This is a demo of the Invisible Recaptcha. You can remove the url invisible parameter to test with the captcha button)
You can use a Chrome Plugin like Modify Headers and Add a user-agent like Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html).
For Firefox, if you don't want to install any add-ons, you can easily manually change the user agent :
Enter about:config into the URL box and hit return;
Search for “useragent” (one word), just to check what is already there;
Create a new string (right-click somewhere in the window) titled (i.e. new
preference) “general.useragent.override”, and with string value
"Googlebot/2.1" (or any other you want to test with).
I tried this with Recaptcha v3, and it indeed returns a score of 0.1
And don't forget to remove this line from about:config when done testing !
I found this method here (it is an Apple OS article, but the Firefox method also works for Windows) : http://osxdaily.com/2013/01/16/change-user-agent-chrome-safari-firefox/
I find that if you click on the reCaptcha logo rather than the text box, it tends to fail.
This is because bots detect clickable hitboxes, and since the checkbox is an image, as well as the "I'm not a robot" text, and bots can't process images as text properly, but they CAN process clickable hitboxes, which the reCaptcha tells them to click, it just doesn't tell them where.
Click as far away from the checkbox as possible while keeping your mouse cursor in the reCaptcha. You will then most likely fail it. ( it will just bring up the thing where you have to identify the pictures).
The pictures are on there because like I said, bots can't process images and recognize things like cars.
yes it is possible to force fail a recaptcha v2 for testing purposes.
there are two ways to do that
First way :
you need to have firefox browser for that just make a simple form request
and then wait for response and after getting response click on refresh button firefox will prompt a box saying that " To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. " then click on "resend"
by doing this browser will send previous " g-recaptcha-response " key and this will fail your recaptcha.
Second way
you can make any simple post request by any application like in linux you can use curl to make post request.
just make sure that you specify all your form filed and also header for request and most important thing POST one field name as " g-recaptcha-response " and give any random value to this field
Just completing the answer of Rafael, follow how to use the plugin
None of proposed answers worked for me. I just wrote a simple Node.js script which opens a browser window with a page. ReCaptcha detects automated browser and shows the challenge. The script is below:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
let testReCaptcha = async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://yourpage.com');
};
testReCaptcha();
Don't forget to install puppeteer by running npm i puppeteer and change yourpage.com to your page address

Chrome App: launch link in Chrome rather than Safari

I'm developing a Chrome (packaged) app which maintains a set of bookmarks. This opens in its own small window. Clicking on a bookmark opens it in a browser using a link with target set to '_blank'.
On Mac OS X, these open in Safari. Is there anyway of having them open in Chrome?
When you click on a link with target="_blank" in a packaged app, Chrome respects your choice of the default browser and opens the link externally in whatever it is, not necessarily Chrome. In your case, the default system browser must be Safari.
The easy way to open such links in Chrome would be to make it the default browser instead.
If you don't want to do that, but still for some reason insist that your links open in new tabs specifically in Chrome, here is one (perhaps the only) way to achieve that:
Write a companion extension to your app and have your users install it.
In the app, attach an onclick handler to every link, and use chrome.runtime.sendMessage() to send a request to the extension to open the link's URL (in order to do that, you will have to find out your extension's ID and bake it into its manifest, as described here: http://developer.chrome.com/apps/manifest/key.html):
var link = ...;
link.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
yourExtensionId, { url: link.href }, function(response) {}
);
};
In the extension, define a chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal(data) handler (it will intercept sendMessage() requests from the app), and use chrome.tabs.create() in there to open a new tab:
chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal.addListener(
function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
// Don't forget to make sure that |sender| is you app here.
chrome.tabs.create({ url: request.url }, function() {
// If you need to notify the app when the tab opens:
sendResponse(true);
});
// 'true' means that your response is sent asynchronously.
return true;
}
);

WatiN driving the IE "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" popup

I'd like to extend my WatiN automated tests to drive a page that guards against the user accidentally leaving the page without saving changes.
The page uses the "beforeunload" technique to seek confirmation from the user:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function (event) {
if (confirmationRequired) {
return "Sure??";
}
});
My WatIn test is driving the page using IE. I cannot find a way to get WatIn to attach to the popup dialog so I can control it from my test.
All the following have failed (where the hard-coded strings refer to strings that I can see on the popup):
Browser.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer");
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Are you sure you want to leave this page?));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindFirst());
Thanks!
You'll need to create and add the dialog handler.
Example Go to example site, click link, click leave page on confirmation dialog:
IE browser = new IE();
browser.GoTo("http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/onbeforeunload.htm");
WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9 myHandler = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9();
browser.AddDialogHandler(myHandler);
browser.Link(Find.ByUrl("http://www.microsoft.com")).ClickNoWait();
myHandler.WaitUntilExists();
myHandler.OKButton.Click();
browser.RemoveDialogHandler(myHandler);
The above is working on WatiN2.1, IE9, Win7. If using IE8 or before, you will likely need to use the ReturnDialogHandler object instead of the Ie9 specific handler
