How do I get the id of the user with Rest APi?

You don't want to call Phonegap.exec in your success callback. What you probably want there is something along the lines of:

 

function success(response){
console.log(response.userId);
}

It's returned in the oauth login response URI

 

access_token=[ACCESS TOKEN (Session Id)]

&refresh_token=[REFRESH TOKEN]

&instance_url=https%3A%2F%2Fna1.salesforce.com

&id=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.salesforce.com%2Fid%[ORG ID]%[USER ID]

&issued_at=1312403866216

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your response.


var SalesforceOAuthPlugin = {

/******************************************************************************************************************************
* Obtain authentication credentials, calling 'authenticate' only if necessary.
* Most index.html authors can simply use this method to obtain auth credentials
* after onDeviceReady.
* success - The success callback function to use.
* fail - The failure/error callback function to use.
* PhoneGap returns a dictionary with:
* accessToken
* refreshToken
* clientId
* userId
* orgId
* loginUrl
* instanceUrl
* userAgent
*****************************************************************************************************************************/
getAuthCredentials: function(success, fail) {
PhoneGap.exec(success, fail, "com.salesforce.oauth","getAuthCredentials",[]);
},

 

In the document, they said that we can get the user id using getAuthCreadentials. I am trying to get the user id using the below method.

 

SalesforceOAuthPlugin.getAuthCredentials(success, getAuthCredentialsError);

function success(){
PhoneGap.exec(getAuthCredentials(userId()));
}

 

When I run the app, it says

 

getAuthCredentials called

getAuthCredentials successful

Error in success callback: com.salesforce.aouth3 = ReferenceError: userId is not defined at file:///android_asset/www/phonegap-1.2.0.js:773
