2. Adobe’s PhoneGap platform enables a developer to create an app that runs on a
variety of mobile devices.
The developer accomplishes this largely by writing the user interface portion of their
application with Web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. PhoneGap’s
development tools then bundle the HTML, CSS and JavaScript files into platform-
specific deployment packages.
PhoneGap supports a wide variety of platforms:
iOS
Android
Windows 8
Windows Phone 7 and 8
BlackBerry 5.x+
WebOS
Symbian
Tizen

4. Applications built with PhoneGap use the mobile platform’s Web view to render
content. As such, the content will appear nearly identical on each platform, much as
any Web page would.
PhoneGap essentially wraps a Web view of your HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a
native application.
This is required because the Web view in an application does not inherently support
many device features, such as access to the file system or the camera.
PhoneGap has a bridging mechanism that allows JavaScript running in the Web view
to invoke native code contained in the application.
PhoneGap comes complete with plugins to support device capabilities such as the
following:
Accelerometer
Camera
Contacts
File system
Media playback and recording
Network availability
5. PhoneGap may be extended with plugins that enable the developer to access more
device features, including these:
Barcode scanning
Bluetooth
Push notifications
Text to speech
Calendars
Facebook Connect
The majority of PhoneGap’s capabilities lie in non-visual components — things that
access the file system, network availability, geolocation, etc.
PhoneGap does not provide much assistance with building the user interface itself.
For this, you must rely on the HTML and CSS foundation that you’ve built yourself or on
a framework.
