How to set alias in pushbots for phonegap?

Question

I am using pushbots and trying to set an alias for my device, I could not find any code in the documentation to do so. I tried using below code

var Pushbots = PushbotsPlugin.initialize("569a8967177959f4778b4567", {
     "android":{
                "sender_id":"117196338125"
               }
    });
Pushbots.updateAlias("Test");

but it doesn't work. My device is showing up but without any alias

The problem is probably that updateAlias function is being executed immediately before device is fully registered. Try to set time out for 30 seconds or a minute before you set the alias and see if it works or try to put your code when you received your registration id.

Pushbots.on("registered", function(token){
    console.log("Registration Id:" + token);
    Pushbots.updateAlias("Test");
});
