$cordovaSQLite Error

ionic-v1
1

I am trying to add database functionality into my application but I keep getting this error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘openDatabase’ of undefined. From what I read this can happen if your code is not run in the device ready function or you’re running the app in the browser but I am not doing this. I have run it on chrome inspect and I still get the error, here’s the code

var db = null;
.run(function($ionicPlatform, $cordovaSQLite) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
// Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
// for form inputs)
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);

      // Don't remove this line unless you know what you are doing. It stops the viewport
      // from snapping when text inputs are focused. Ionic handles this internally for
      // a much nicer keyboard experience.
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
    }
    if(window.StatusBar) {
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
	
	db = $cordovaSQLite.openDB({name: "expenseApp.db", bgType: 1 });
	$cordovaSQLite.execute(db, "create table if not exists expenses (id integer primary key, date text, detail text, amount real)");
  });
});

Here’s the function within the controller. NB. I have injected $cordovaSQLite into to main controller. After the SQLite execute function it just jumps to the end.

	$scope.saveExpense = function(expenseItem){
		if(angular.isDefined(expenseItem) && angular.isDefined(expenseItem.detail) && angular.isDefined(expenseItem.amount))
		{
			var query = "insert into expenses (date, detail, amount) values(?,?,?)";
			$cordovaSQLite.execute(db, query, [expenseItem.myDate, expenseItem.detail, expenseItem.amount])
			.then(function(res){
				if (res.rows.length > 0)
				{
					var iAlert = $ionicPopup.alert({
						title: 'Item added to database',
						template: 'expenseItem.date = ' + expenseItem.date + '<br/>' + 'expenseItem.detail = ' + expenseItem.detail + '<br/>' +
									'expenseItem.amount = ' + expenseItem.amount,
					});
				}
			}), function(error){
				$ionicPopup.alert({
					title: 'Error',
					template: 'Something went wrong <br/>' + error.message
				});
			}
			
			/*console.log(expenseItem);
			$scope.list.push({ date: $filter('date')($scope.myDate,'yyyy-MM-dd'), detail: expenseItem.detail, 
				amount: $filter('number')(expenseItem.amount,2) });
			alert("Item added");*/
			$state.reload();
		}
	}
