Creating an Android “Hello World” Application with PhoneGap

Creating Android “Hello World” Application using PhoneGap



What is PhoneGap?

PhoneGap is an open source platform that allows you to create cross-platform mobile applications with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. In order to interact with device hardware, PhoneGap provides a JavaScript API that will interface with features such as the on-board camera, GPS, and accelerometer.
