Angularjs - why is not calling that function?

Question

i wanna call a function when the app starts to show a modal, so i did ...

I call the function with the onDeviceReady

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

    function onDeviceReady() {
      openModal();  
    }

but the function is not calling, in console shows: Uncaught ReferenceError: openModal is not defined

The function on controller:

$scope.openModal = function() {
      alert("funcionou!");
    $scope.modal.show();
  };

please help!

Your code does not know your scope.

You can run it when the controller is loaded.

Like this:

angular.module("controllers",[])
.controller("testController",
    function ($scope) {

        $scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded',
            function () {
                $scope.modal.show()
            });
    });
