Can i create a common web app using HTML, CSS and Javascript for iPhone 4.3 and later, Android 2.2 and later and Blackberry OS6 using phone gap framework
If yes whether it is going to be complex when compared to creating individual web app for each platform? Since the common web app has to take care of UI features of all the platforms...
What is best way to achieve this in the code using CSS?
Please let me know possible solution and any examples based on this requirement.
Thanks...
About PhoneGap
PhoneGap (also called Apache Callback) is an open-source mobile development framework developed by Nitobi Software. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, instead of often less-known languages such as Objective-C. The resulting applications are hybrid:- meaning that they are neither truly native (all layout rendering is done via the webview instead of Objective-C or Corona apps) nor purely web based (much of the functions would be supported by HTML5). One disadvantage is that hybrid applications do not have full access to the device application programming interface (API).
SUPPORTED PLATFORM
PhoneGap currently supports development for the operating systems Apple iOS, Google Android, HP webOS, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Nokia Symbian OS and RIM BlackBerry. Support for recent versions, such as BlackBerry 5 and 6 and Windows Phone 7, is being implemented now. Bada (the operating system used by the Samsung Wave S8500) support is "coming soon".
