I'm writing a chrome app which loads an external site via . Executing JavaScript within the loaded page does well with:

webview.executeScript();

But now I need to read the HTML-Content from that loaded external site in my main chrome app.

How can I achieve this?

• javascript
• webview
• google-chrome-app

• Inject a content script, establish messaging between the two? – Xan Commented Jun 6, 2014 at 20:11

You can use executeScript for that too:

webview.executeScript(
    {code: 'document.documentElement.innerHTML'},
    function(results) {
      // results[0] would have the webview's innerHTML.
    });
