Getting active window url in crossrider

I've been trying to track users current tab url, but I'm having some trouble doing this.

My current code

var activeTabUrl = null;
appAPI.tabs.onTabSelectionChanged(function(tabInfo) {
  activeTabUrl = tabInfo.tabUrl;
});

This code tracks active tab when user changes tab, but the problem is it doesn't track when a user changes url in the same tab. How can I track that?

I can see you are acquiring the URL in the extension's background scope and I presume you want to track the URL in the same scope. In this situation, I would use appAPI.webRequest.onBeforeNavigate using the same activeTabUrl variable to supplement your existing code, as follows:

appAPI.webRequest.onBeforeNavigate.addListener(function(details) {
    // Where:
    //   * details.pageUrl is the URL of the tab requesting the page

    // Track Url
    activeTabUrl = details.pageUrl;
});
