HTML5 and android - How to deal with it?

Hello everyone,

What's up?
Today I want to talk about using HTML5 to create android application.

To be honest, I love this solution. You code in HTML5 and javascript your application. Then you just make your 'app' more awesome thanks to css. What's next? Just use phonegap (https://build.phonegap.com/) to build your app and that's it.

Wait. What? It's too simple!
Nope. You just create your website and make an application.

How to start?
Create index.html and there put your html code. Add some javascript code to the website. That will make your website alive but ugly, so next add css. Now you have awesome app which is nothing more then website.
Then just log in to phonegap and put there your files.
That's all.

Next I will create simple tutorial on how to create android application in few simple steps.

Bye.

PS: Leave a comment what you think.
PPS: Thanks :)

Programming on android

Hi awesome people :)

Let's start talking about programming on android device.

Firstly, it's hard, not effective and tiring. I know many people disagree, but it's possible.

Why? Because you have small screen. You have to jump from window to window and you can't have two or more at the same time. The font size is small. Looking at small letters and bright, small screen is tiring. There is not enough space and you need effective tool for switching between windows.

Secondly - compilators. You have to own remote server to compile your programs. And if you doesn't have access to device that can run your program, it will be the nightmare. Efficient way to build your programs is important. When you use remote server and you can run your code on android device. And it's pretty ok. Also, web development is easy on android. Browsers are everywhere. Code run without any external compilators. You can just seat down and code webpages that don't use server. You can code templates, make frontend stuff. Backend is a little harder, you need to deploy your code to server and then run.

Finnaly, in my opinion, you should code on android only when you don't have any choice or want to code anywhere. It will be tiring and hard, but you can spend e.g. in bus few minutes/hours coding something cool for your website.

Any questions?
Any suggestions?

See you :)
