Check if device's running cordova

Question

I have ready web application and i've made an android app ,using Cordova, from it, it works good, but when i do this:

 if (!(<any>window).cordova) {
      return this.afAuth.signInWithPopup(provider)
        .then(res => {
          this.ngZone.run(() => {
            this.router.navigate(['main-layout']);
          });
        }).catch(error => {
          window.alert(error);
        });
 } else {
   return this.afAuth.signInWithRedirect(provider);
 }

I expect that on android app else will be reached, but it did not.

So, how can i check whether app is running on android (cordova) or on desktop in Angular?

I've tried this How to detect if I am in browser (local development) in Ionic 2, but it did not help me.

I'm using cordova 9, angular 10.

Thanks.

Answer 1

https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-device/index.html

This is a reference for getting device platform for cordova, it could be adding using cmd:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device

Properties:

• device.cordova

• device.model

• device.platform

• device.uuid

• device.version

• device.manufacturer

• device.isVirtual

• device.serial

You could use device.platform to achieve what you need for example:

if (device.platform === 'iOS') {}
if (device.platform === 'browser') {}
if (device.platform === 'Android') {}

And tou could see full documentation in link above to see more things or other supported platforms
