Most Cordova implementations use a native dialog box for this feature, but some platforms use the browser's `alert` function, which is typically less customizable. navigator.notification.alert(message, alertCallback, [title], [buttonName]) - __message__: Dialog message. _(String)_ - __alertCallback__: Callback to invoke when alert dialog is dismissed. _(Function)_ - __title__: Dialog title. _(String)_ (Optional, defaults to `Alert`) - __buttonName__: Button name. _(String)_ (Optional, defaults to `OK`) ### Example function alertDismissed() { // do something } navigator.notification.alert( 'You are the winner!', // message alertDismissed, // callback 'Game Over', // title 'Done' // buttonName ); ### Supported Platforms - Amazon Fire OS - Android - BlackBerry 10 - Firefox OS - iOS - Tizen - Windows Phone 7 and 8 - Windows 8 ### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks - There is no built-in browser alert, but you can bind one as follows to call `alert()` in the global scope: window.alert = navigator.notification.alert; - Both `alert` and `confirm` are non-blocking calls, results of which are only available asynchronously. ### Firefox OS Quirks: Both native-blocking `window.alert()` and non-blocking `navigator.notification.alert()` are available. ## navigator.notification.confirm Displays a customizable confirmation dialog box. navigator.notification.confirm(message, confirmCallback, [title], [buttonLabels]) - __message__: Dialog message. _(String)_ - __confirmCallback__: Callback to invoke with index of button pressed (1, 2, or 3) or when the dialog is dismissed without a button press (0). _(Function)_ - __title__: Dialog title. _(String)_ (Optional, defaults to `Confirm`) - __buttonLabels__: Array of strings specifying button labels. _(Array)_ (Optional, defaults to [`OK,Cancel`]) ### confirmCallback The `confirmCallback` executes when the user presses one of the buttons in the confirmation dialog box. The callback takes the argument `buttonIndex` _(Number)_, which is the index of the pressed button. Note that the index uses one-based indexing, so the value is `1`, `2`, `3`, etc. ### Example function onConfirm(buttonIndex) { alert('You selected button ' + buttonIndex); } navigator.notification.confirm( 'You are the winner!', // message onConfirm, // callback to invoke with index of button pressed 'Game Over', // title ['Restart','Exit'] // buttonLabels ); ### Supported Platforms - Amazon Fire OS - Android - BlackBerry 10 - Firefox OS - iOS - Tizen - Windows Phone 7 and 8 - Windows 8 ### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks - There is no built-in browser function for `window.confirm`, but you can bind it by assigning: window.confirm = navigator.notification.confirm; - Calls to `alert` and `confirm` are non-blocking, so the result is only available asynchronously. ### Firefox OS Quirks: Both native-blocking `window.confirm()` and non-blocking `navigator.notification.confirm()` are available. ## navigator.notification.prompt Displays a native dialog box that is more customizable than the browser's `prompt` function. navigator.notification.prompt(message, promptCallback, [title], [buttonLabels], [defaultText]) - __message__: Dialog message. _(String)_ - __promptCallback__: Callback to invoke with index of button pressed (1, 2, or 3) or when the dialog is dismissed without a button press (0). _(Function)_ - __title__: Dialog title _(String)_ (Optional, defaults to `Prompt`) - __buttonLabels__: Array of strings specifying button labels _(Array)_ (Optional, defaults to `["OK","Cancel"]`) - __defaultText__: Default textbox input value (`String`) (Optional, Default: empty string) ### promptCallback The `promptCallback` executes when the user presses one of the buttons in the prompt dialog box. The `results` object passed to the callback contains the following properties: - __buttonIndex__: The index of the pressed button. _(Number)_ Note that the index uses one-based indexing, so the value is `1`, `2`, `3`, etc. - __input1__: The text entered in the prompt dialog box. _(String)_ ### Example function onPrompt(results) { alert("You selected button number " + results.buttonIndex + " and entered " + results.input1); } navigator.notification.prompt( 'Please enter your name', // message onPrompt, // callback to invoke 'Registration', // title ['Ok','Exit'], // buttonLabels 'Jane Doe' // defaultText ); ### Supported Platforms - Amazon Fire OS - Android - Firefox OS - iOS - Windows Phone 7 and 8 ### Android Quirks - Android supports a maximum of three buttons, and ignores any more than that. - On Android 3.0 and later, buttons are displayed in reverse order for devices that use the Holo theme. ### Firefox OS Quirks: Both native-blocking `window.prompt()` and non-blocking `navigator.notification.prompt()` are available. ## navigator.notification.beep The device plays a beep sound. navigator.notification.beep(times); - __times__: The number of times to repeat the beep. _(Number)_ ### Example // Beep twice! navigator.notification.beep(2); ### Supported Platforms - Amazon Fire OS - Android - BlackBerry 10 - iOS - Tizen - Windows Phone 7 and 8 - Windows 8 ### Amazon Fire OS Quirks - Amazon Fire OS plays the default __Notification Sound__ specified under the __Settings/Display & Sound__ panel. ### Android Quirks - Android plays the default __Notification ringtone__ specified under the __Settings/Sound & Display__ panel. ### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks - Relies on a generic beep file from the Cordova distribution. ### Tizen Quirks - Tizen implements beeps by playing an audio file via the media API. - The beep file must be short, must be located in a `sounds` subdirectory of the application's root directory, and must be named `beep.wav`.
