# 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.name
- 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
- 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
- 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"
// 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.name
__WARNING__: `device.name` is deprecated as of version 2.3.0. Use `device.model` instead.
## device.platform
Get the device's operating system name.
var string = device.platform;
### Supported Platforms
- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- Firefox OS
- iOS
- Tizen
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows 8
### Quick Example
// Depending on the device, a few examples are:
// - "Android"
// - "BlackBerry 10"
// - "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
- 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"
//
// 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;
