Dialogs Plugin

Tested Version: 2.0.1​
This document is based on the original Cordova docs available at Cordova Docs.
This plugin provides access to some native dialog UI elements via a global navigator.notification object. Although the object is attached to the global scoped navigator, it is not available until after the deviceready event.
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(navigator.notification);
}

Methods
navigator.notification.alert
navigator.notification.confirm
navigator.notification.prompt
navigator.notification.beep
navigator.notification.alert
Shows a custom alert or dialog box. 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
Android
iOS
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
);

Android Quirks
Android supports a maximum of three buttons, and ignores any more than that.
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
