# org.apache.cordova.device

This plugin defines a global `device` object, which describes the device's hardware and software.
Although the object is in the global scope, it is not available until after the `deviceready` event.

    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() {
        console.log(device.cordova);
    }

## Installation

    cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device

## Properties

- device.cordova
- device.model
- device.platform
- device.uuid
- device.version

## device.cordova

Get the version of Cordova running on the device.

### Supported Platforms

- Amazon Fire OS
- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- Browser
- Firefox OS
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8

## device.model

The `device.model` returns the name of the device's model or
product. The value is set by the device manufacturer and may be
different across versions of the same product.

### Supported Platforms

- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- Browser
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8

### Quick Example

    // Android:    Nexus One       returns "Passion" (Nexus One code name)
    //             Motorola Droid  returns "voles"
    // BlackBerry: Torch 9800      returns "9800"
    // Browser:    Google Chrome   returns "Chrome"
    //             Safari          returns "Safari"
    // iOS:     for the iPad Mini, returns iPad2,5; iPhone 5 is iPhone 5,1. See http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Models
    //
    var model = device.model;

### Android Quirks

- Gets the [product name](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html#PRODUCT) instead of the [model name](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html#MODEL), which is often the production code name. For example, the Nexus One returns `Passion`, and Motorola Droid returns `voles`.

### Tizen Quirks

- Returns the device model assigned by the vendor, for example, `TIZEN`

### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks

- Returns the device model specified by the manufacturer. For example, the Samsung Focus returns `SGH-i917`.

## device.platform

Get the device's operating system name.

    var string = device.platform;

### Supported Platforms

- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- Browser4
- Firefox OS
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8

### Quick Example

    // Depending on the device, a few examples are:
    //   - "Android"
    //   - "BlackBerry 10"
    //   - Browser:         returns "MacIntel" on Mac
    //                      returns "Win32" on Windows
    //   - "iOS"
    //   - "WinCE"
    //   - "Tizen"
    var devicePlatform = device.platform;

### Windows Phone 7 Quirks

Windows Phone 7 devices report the platform as `WinCE`.

### Windows Phone 8 Quirks

Windows Phone 8 devices report the platform as `Win32NT`.

## device.uuid

Get the device's Universally Unique Identifier ([UUID](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_Unique_Identifier)).

    var string = device.uuid;

### Description

The details of how a UUID is generated are determined by the device manufacturer and are specific to the device's platform or model.

### Supported Platforms

- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8

### Quick Example

    // Android: Returns a random 64-bit integer (as a string, again!)
    //          The integer is generated on the device's first boot
    //
    // BlackBerry: Returns the PIN number of the device
    //             This is a nine-digit unique integer (as a string, though!)
    //
    // iPhone: (Paraphrased from the UIDevice Class documentation)
    //         Returns a string of hash values created from multiple hardware identifies.
    //         It is guaranteed to be unique for every device and can't be tied
    //         to the user account.
    // Windows Phone 7 : Returns a hash of device+current user,
    // if the user is not defined, a guid is generated and will persist until the app is uninstalled
    // Tizen: returns the device IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a number
    // unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone.
    var deviceID = device.uuid;

### iOS Quirk

The `uuid` on iOS is not unique to a device, but varies for each
application, for each installation.  It changes if you delete and
re-install the app, and possibly also when you upgrade iOS, or even
upgrade the app per version (apparent in iOS 5.1). The `uuid` is not
a reliable value.

### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks

The `uuid` for Windows Phone 7 requires the permission
`ID_CAP_IDENTITY_DEVICE`.  Microsoft will likely deprecate this
property soon.  If the capability is not available, the application
generates a persistent guid that is maintained for the duration of the
application's installation on the device.

## device.version

Get the operating system version.

    var string = device.version;

### Supported Platforms

- Android 2.1+
- BlackBerry 10
- Browser
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8

### Quick Example

    // Android:    Froyo OS would return "2.2"
    //             Eclair OS would return "2.1", "2.0.1", or "2.0"
    //             Version can also return update level "2.1-update1"
    //
    // BlackBerry: Torch 9800 using OS 6.0 would return "6.0.0.600"
    //
    // Browser:    Returns version number for the browser
    //
    // iPhone:     iOS 3.2 returns "3.2"
    //
    // Windows Phone 7: returns current OS version number, ex. on Mango returns 7.10.7720
    // Tizen: returns "TIZEN_20120425_2"
    var deviceVersion = device.version;
