Cordova/Phonegap is a platform for creating a JS/HTML application and deploy them to various native mobile platforms.
Depedencies
You have to have installed NodeJS in your system and npm package manager. If you use Debian or Ubuntu, you can use my tutorial to install it.
Installation
On Linux or OS X:
sudo npm install -g cordova
On Windows:
C:\>npm install -g cordova
Creating first Cordova project
Go to the directory where you have your source code, and create a cordova project:
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
“hello” is a project name, com.example.hello is domain name for application and HelloWorld is a name of an app shown in the mobile system.
This command creates the required directory structure.
By default, home page is the project’s www/index.html file.
{{ 'Comments (%count%)' | trans {count:count} }}
{{ 'Comments are closed.' | trans }}
