cordova-plugin-dialogs
This plugin provides access to some native dialog UI elements
via a global navigator.notification
object.
Although the object is attached to the global scoped navigator
, it is not available until after the deviceready
event.
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
console.log(navigator.notification);
}
Installation
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-dialogs
Methods
navigator.notification.alert
navigator.notification.confirm
navigator.notification.prompt
navigator.notification.beep
navigator.notification.alert
Shows a custom alert or dialog box. Most Cordova implementations use a native
dialog box for this feature, but some platforms use the browser's alert
function, which is typically less customizable.
navigator.notification.alert(message, alertCallback, [title], [buttonName])
-
message: Dialog message. (String)
-
alertCallback: Callback to invoke when alert dialog is dismissed. (Function)
-
title: Dialog title. (String) (Optional, defaults to
Alert
) -
buttonName: Button name. (String) (Optional, defaults to
OK
)
Example
function alertDismissed() {
// do something
}
navigator.notification.alert(
'You are the winner!', // message
alertDismissed, // callback

'Done' // buttonName
);

confirmCallback

executes when the user presses one of the
buttons in the confirmation dialog box.
The callback takes the argument buttonIndex

indexing, so the value is 1
, 2
, 3
, etc.
Example
function onConfirm(buttonIndex) {
alert('You selected button ' + buttonIndex);
}
navigator.notification.confirm(
'You are the winner!', // message
onConfirm, // callback to invoke with index of button pressed
'Game Over', // title
['Restart','Exit'] // buttonLabels
);
