Shows a custom alert or dialog box.
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
)
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.
// Amazon Fire OS / Android / BlackBerry 10 (OS 5.0 and higher) / iOS / Tizen // function alertDismissed() { // do something } navigator.notification.alert( 'You are the winner!', // message alertDismissed, // callback 'Game Over', // title 'Done' // buttonName );

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.
