PhoneGap is a software
development framework by Adobe System, which is used to develop mobile
applications. To develop apps using PhoneGap, the developer does not require to
have knowledge of mobile programming language but only web-development
languages like, HTML, CSS, and JScript. PhoneGap produces apps for all popular
mobile OS platforms such as iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile OS
etc. In this tutorial we will focus on developing App for Android platform.
This tutorial will give you adequate information about how to produce apps
quickly using PhoneGap services.
Mobile, handhelds and easy-to-carry devices have
started a new revolution in software engineering. These small but efficient
devices are capable to run applications created with high-end programming
languages. People who own these devices tend to use them at their maximum as
these devices such as mobile phones, are very convenient to use anytime,
anywhere.
The architecture of a mobile device is similar
to that of a computer system. It has custom built hardware, firmware, and
operating systems.
These three items are mostly proprietary and are
engineered, developed, and assembled under one flagship organization. Apps
(Application Software) are developed both by flagship organization and
developers from outside the organization.
A number of well-recognized mobile operating
systems are available in the market in both proprietary and open-source
categories. Most widely used mobile operating systems are −
- Android
- IOS
- BlackBerry
- Windows
Every mobile operating system provides their own
set of tools and environments to develop apps that will run on them.
Application made for one operating system cannot run on any other platform as
they are entirely different. Developers tend to cover all major mobile
operating systems in order to increase reachability among their users.
Thus it becomes a tedious task to develop an
application program that may run on all major OS platforms, keeping its look,
feel, and functionality identical on all platforms. For this work, a developer
needs to understand all platforms and should have a good understanding of major
development tools for different operating systems.
PhoneGap
PhoneGap may be seen as a solution to all
problems mentioned above. PhoneGap is a framework that makes the developers
develop their apps using standard web APIs for all major mobile operating
systems. It is open-source and free.
Developers only need to know web development
using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. PhoneGap takes care of rest of the work, such
as look and feel of the app and portability among various mobile operating
systems.
Using PhoneGap, one can create apps for all
major mobile operating systems like Apple iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows
etc. This does not require the developer to have an expertise over any of the
above mentioned platforms, neither the developer is required to know
programming to code the app from scratch.
PhoneGap allows its users to upload the data
contents on website and it automatically converts it to various App files.
In this tutorial, we shall see how to create an
app for Apple, android, and windows platform online without using any offline
tool.
