Is it possible to create Android apps using HTML5?

I really wanted to start developing applications for Android phones, but I have almost no knowledge about the operating system SDK, I have more knowledge about HTML, Javascript, CSS.

I have in mind that creating an Android app should be well different from the constitution of a web site in html, but maybe there should be some way to emulate an HTML file as if it were an app or some other way.

I wonder if there is a plugin for this to something that leaves at least 'easy' and friendly write the codes for application.

  • Take a look at http://www.appgyver.com/ - a hybrid variant of Phonegap.

  • Dude, if you want to create stable, robust apps, work with the SDK. at all times better. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-mobile-web-is-dead-its-all-about-apps-2014-4?fb_action_ids=10152705418059746&fb_action_types=og.recommends&utm_content=bufferee5dc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

  • I strongly advise you to invest some time in getting to know the Android SDK. Excellent development platform. If you want more details you can contact me: [email protected]

  • I have tried several times, but I can not at all understand the logic of java and Android codes. I also have difficulty signing the apks =(

    React Native is a good option.

There are some Frameworks that use exactly what you’re looking for: HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.

The database is the Sqlite, used by the HTML5 Storage site. With these Frameworks you can generate Apps for Android, Iphone, Windows Phone and Blackberry, all with the same code.

  • I had heard about the phonegap, didn’t think it was for this '-'. How does it work? Would create a normal html file, or it only offers an api that looks like html?

    In fact it uses a Webview as "trigger" for an . html file for example. Hence the navigation is equal to that of a website. You do programming using HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript equal to a notmal site.

  • But by chance you know if it hangs, from some problem that an Android application would not give...?

  • I was going to start using Parse (https://parse.com/) as a database. You think it’s good?

    It depends on what you’re trying to implement. Logically the native app in some cases performs better than the app generated with some framework. But in many cases, they serve the most common needs well. Such frameworks are used by many well-known applications and large businesses. You can use without fear.

  • ok kkk I don’t even know how to install the programs to start '-'

  • Hugo, for example: if someone creates only the beginning of the app, like installing Phonegap and everything, and this person gives me these files for me to continue developing html, javascript, would I have any problems or is it better to start alone? Pq I think that in eclipse already leaves the file in apk format that is similar to zip and would give to me to go editing. Or not so well?

  • ok, I thought there would be some problem and stuff. But we can create the apk file inside the eclipse or only in Google Play?

    Iago, it’s okay to do this. Usually in companies, development is collaborative. I use Github for that, for example. But anyway it is interesting that you learn to lift the environment on your machine to avoid getting side to side with the files that you yourself could be changing and testing. That saves a lot of time. Here are some tutorials that will help you at this point: http://www.loiane.com/2012/06/comecando-phone-gap-cordova-hello-world-android and http://www.mobiltec.com.br/blog/index.php/tutorial-de-phonegap-firsiros-steps

  • Thank you n__n =D

  • I give up! This is not for me :p is very complicated
