deviceready won't fire in Phonegap 1.0.0 on Android

Question

I\'ve tried to setup Phonegap on Android and deviceready won\'t fire. The reason is that DeviceInfo.uuid is always null/undefined.

It seems

Answer 1

In case someone else stumble on this problem.

I hadn't realized that phonegap-1.0.0.js is different for the iPhone and Android version. It has the same name, but the content is different. Thus, one must load the correct file. I solved it like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Atrocious way of loading two diffent phonegap scripts, but other loading methods won't work.
    // also there shouldn't be two scripts to begin with -- so much for cross-platform.
    var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    if (userAgent.match(/android/)) {
    document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='javascripts\/phonegap-android-1.0.0.js'><\/script>");
  } else {
    document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='javascripts\/phonegap-iphone-1.0.0.js'><\/script>");
  }
</script>

If you want some function to execute when the device is ready do something like this

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, true);
// PhoneGap is now ready

function onDeviceReady() {
// Write your code here
}

I am not sure why your code is not working.Try placing the document.addEventListener outside the scope of the function.
