PHONEGAP TECHNOLOGY........BEST MOBILE APP PROGRAMMING

What is PhoneGap?

• PhoneGap is an open-source mobile development framework

            Developed by Nitobi Software
            Bought by Adobe

• Enables building of mobile device applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS

            Ruby can be used as well
            Instead of often less-known languages such as Objective-C.

                            

PhoneGap Applications:-

• The PhoneGap applications are hybrid.

• They are neither truly native nor purely web based.

• All layout rendering is done via the web view instead of Objective-C.

• Much of the functions of HTML5 are supported.

• A disadvantage is that hybrid applications do not have full access to the device API Camera, compass, accelerometer, etc.

 Supported Platforms:-

• PhoneGap currently supports development for the following operating systems

• iOS, Android, webOS, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS and BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7 Mango

• Bada support is "coming soon"

• The OS used by the Samsung Wave S8500

   How does it work?

• Build your app once with web-standards

• Based on HTML5

• Wrap it up with PhoneGap

• Using the free open source framework or PhoneGap build

• You can access the native APIs

• Deploy to multiple platforms

• Standards-based web technologies to bridge web applications and mobile devices

Means of PhoneGap Development:--

• PhoneGap is just a library that you must include in your app

• Couple of JavaScript and xml files
•  

What is PhoneGap doing?

• PhoneGap generates a out-of-the-browser window that executes the HTML and JavaScript.

• Due to a couple of xml and jar/dll files it enables the usage of native APIs .

Where Can we Develop?

• Native IDE for the corresponding OS

• Eclipse, Xcode, Visual Studio, etc.

• Abode launched a new version of Dreamweaver that integrates with PhoneGap

• Build the web site

• Add the mobile SDKs

• Say it is mobile app

• Build and deploy

• In both the concrete OS SDK must be present

•  PhoneGap is a cross-platform mobile development framework

• Based on HTML5 and JavaScript

• Using web standards

• PhoneGap is useful

• For creation of small apps

• When there is a lack of human resources

• Need a single app deployed on many OS

• Native app developments is always better!
