onDeviceReady not firing in PhoneGap hello world app

Question

I\'m trying to do a simple alert(\'test\') app, but the event isn\'t being fired, this is the code:

function onLoad() {
    document.addEventListener("de         


        

Answer 1

The correct way is to make sure that document has completely loaded before adding the event listener.

Example:

HTML:

JS:

function onLoad() {
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}

function onDeviceReady() {
   //anything you want done after deviceready has fired
}

With jQuery you can use $(document).ready() instead of

Example:

$(document).ready() {
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}

function onDeviceReady() {
   //anything you want done after deviceready has fired
}
