| 1 <p>The <code>chrome.dial</code> API is backed by a service that multicasts |
| 2 discovery requests on the local network to discover DIAL-capable devices and |
| 3 maintains a list of devices that have responded. Adding an onDeviceList |
| 4 listener causes the service to periodically issue discovery requests to maintain |
| 5 the device list. (No polling is done when there are no onDeviceList listeners.) |
| 6 </p> |
| 7 |
| 8 <p>The onDeviceList event is fired when discovery respnses are received and in |
| 9 other circumstances; see the documentation for onDeviceList.</p> |
| 10 |
| 11 <p>The client can request that network discovery can be done immediately by |
| 12 invoking discoverNow() which is useful for presenting the user with an |
| 13 updated list of devices.</p> |
| 14 |
| 15 <p>On-demand use (updates when discoverNow() is called): |
| 16 <pre> |
| 17 chrome.dial.onDeviceList.addListener(function (list) { updateMenu(list); }); |
| 18 chrome.dial.discoverNow(); |
| 19 </pre> |
| 20 (Remember to remove the listener when the menu closes.)</p> |
| 21 |
| 22 <p>Background use (updates only when periodic polling happens):</p> |
| 23 |
| 24 <pre> |
| 25 var myList; |
| 26 chrome.dial.onDeviceList.addListener(function (list) { myList = list; }); |
| 27 </pre> |
| 28 |
| 29 <p>These can be combined to poll for devices to prime the device menu, then |
| 30 refresh the menu when it is displayed.</p> |
