Cordova Device Plugin Not Working

[Rachel Rinaldi]

This may be a simple mistake but I cannot figure it out.

I added the Cordova device plugin through the CLI.

cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repo

s/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

Fetching plugin "https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.g

it" via git clone

Starting installation of "org.apache.cordova.device" for android

Preparing android project

org.apache.cordova.device installed on android.

I then issued a build on the project for android

 

cordova build android

Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "android"

Preparing android project

Compiling app on platform "android" via command "cmd" /c C:\Users\Rachel\StoneCr

eek\platforms\android\cordova\build

Platform "android" compiled successfully.

 Loaded up eclipse, no errors and I see the Cordova device plugin as a package in the src folder.  

Coded the line "var platform = device.platform;" in my app and the error: 'Uncaught ReferenceError: device is not defined at file'

Any ideas as to where I went wrong? This is on Cordova 3+

Call the method on device ready listener.

document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);

function onDeviceReady(){
 alert("Device Platform = "+device.platform);
}
