Cordova device plugin not working

I have a simple Phonegap Build application where I am trying to use the device plugin. I have installed the plugin via command line and have confirmed that it is installed.

I have the following js inside onDeviceReady:

alert(device.platform); and alert(device.model);

I get white screen with no alerts.

Chrome dev tools remote inspect console says: Uncaught ReferenceError: platform is not defined

The plugin is not being recognized.

Solution

  • Add this cordova pluign using this commend :

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device

    <script type="text/javascript">

    //add event listener
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

    function onDeviceReady() { 
       console.log(device); // device object 
       console.log(device.name); // Gives the name of device.
       console.log(device.uuid ); // Gives the UUID.
    }
