I have cerated this GUID/UUID generator, which is short, simple and efficient. This post includes explanations of the algorithm below. The function is as simple as this: To test the performance, you can run this code: I’m sure most of you will understand what I did there, but maybe there is at least one person that will need an explanation: The algorithm: The Math.random() function returns a decimal number between 0 and 1 with 16 digits after the decimal fraction point (for example 0.4363923368509859). Then we take this number and convert it to a string with base 16 (from the example above we’ll get 0.6fb7687f). Math.random().toString(16). Then we cut off the 0. prefix (0.6fb7687f => 6fb7687f) and get a string with eight hexadecimal characters long. (Math.random().toString(16).substr(2,8). Sometimes the Math.random() function will return shorter number (for example 0.4363), due to zeros at the end (from the example above, actually the number…

I spent hours to find out how to do it. And believe me or not, I found nothing on the internet about how to solve it. So I wrote my own solution. It appear that there is a very simple way to achieve this. After the event deviceready has been triggered (as described on the PhoneGap’s API Docs), all you have to do is: When the deviceready event is being triggered, it tell us that all native components are loaded and are ready to use. Which means, that there is no way to determine whether the page was loaded from PhoneGap or not, using the PhoneGap plugin itself. You can always test against browser’s User Agent, but it isn’t a good verification, because it is always possible to open this same page through mobile’s browser, that have the same User Agent as the one that has been loaded from PhoneGap.…
