ionic-v1

Im not sure what im doing wrong but I cant get window.cordova.
I know you must be on a device so I am using my nexus 4 hooked up with USB.

Heres the code:

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
     console.log('this gets run');
     if(window.cordova){
       console.log('this does not run');
     }
   });
});

are you sure cordova.js is included in index.html?

no cordova.js must be included :wink: ng-cordova is just a wrapper around cordova.js and simplyfies things from cordova
