Yet another journey to mobile development using Apache Cordova (previously known as PhoneGap). Attended a course that introduce the usage of HTML5 and jQuery to develop a cross-platform mobile Apps.
STEP 1: Preparing the Apache Web Server
Download and install your preferred Apache web server. In my case, am using the Apache web server in XAMPP.
In your htdocs, create a folder for your project. Inside the project folder, create the items as shown in the picture below. An index.html, a js folder, css and image.
STEP 2: Copy the jQuery mobile templates
Available in the jQueryMobile - download the latest from here http://jquerymobile.com/resources/download/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.zip.
After finish downloading the jQuery for mobile installer, extract. Copy the CSS and JS library in the respective folder created in Step 1.
One HTML file can accommodate the whole apps – try this demo http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.5/pages/
Now we code using NotePad++, create index.html on htdocs/mobile
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Start of first page -->
<div data-role="page" id="page1" >
<div data-role="header" > Page 1 </div>
<div role="main" class="ui-content"> Hi </div>
<div data-role="footer"> kerul.net </div>
</div>
<!-- /end of 1st page -->
<!-- Start of second page -->
<div data-role="page" id="page2" >
<div data-role="header" > Page 2 </div>
<div role="main" class="ui-content"> Hoi </div>
<div data-role="footer"> kerul.net </div>
</div>
<!-- /end of 2nd page -->
</body>
</html>
Get Started! jQuery Mobile
jQuery Mobile
jQuery Mobile is a user interface framework based on jQuery that works across all popular phones, tablet, e-reader, and desktop platforms. Built with accessibility and universal access in mind, we follow progressive enhancement and responsive web design (RWD) principles. HTML5 Markup-driven configuration makes it easy to learn, but a powerful API makes it easy to deeply customize the library.
Packaging With Cordova
Preparing Android App For Google Play Using Windows
Requirement
Windows 7/8 in this case Windows 8
JAVA SDK
Android ADT
Apache ANT
NodeJS
Apache Cordova
For better understanding, create folder 'Mobile Dev' in Drive C.
All file will be downloaded here and this location 'C:\Mobile Dev' will be used for Apache ANT and Android Development Tool SDK.
We will go through STEP BY STEP with images to gain best understanding
Apache Cordova
Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platforms' native development language. Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device's sensors, data, and network status
Android App
A mobile software application developed for use on devices powered by Google's Android platform. Android apps are available in the Google Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market), in the Amazon Appstore and on various Android App-focused sites, and the apps can run on Android smartphones, tablets, Google TV and other devices.
This tutorial is in the development process, sorry to keep you waiting.
The Training Outline
Module
Hybrid Android Apps Development
(using HTML5, jQuery, Apache Cordova and ADT)
Duration
4 days
Synopsis
With Android phones being produced by all of the major phone manufacturers and with the addition of new tablet devices, it's no surprise that the Android platform is the fastest growing mobile development platform in the world. In this course, you will learn to develop Android applications using HTML5 and the ADT development environment. You will learn basic application development including using the Android call, SMS functions, working with online database, and location mapping.
The benefit of having the HTML and jQuery as the development tool is that the same source code could be deployed in another environment such as iOS and the Web.
