deviceready event not firing in phonegap for android

I wrote simple phonegap application for testing deviceready:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script src="js/main.js"></script>
  </body>
<html>

main.js

window.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
  alert("Device is ready");
});

But the alert is never firing. I have added the android platform by running

$ phonegap platform add android

in the app's root directory (the one containing the www folder), but it still didn't solve the problem. I've also read many answers (here, here and here) to this problem, but none worked for me. What could the issue be?

Edit: Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Changed deviceReady to deviceready.

main.js

$(document).ready(function () {
     document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
     function onDeviceReady() {
     // Alert
     }
});
