Prior to this technology the platforms like Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux were used for mobile application development and the runtime environment like Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini, RIM, virtual machines such as Java/J2ME, BREW, Flash were used to execute the applications. Now Android and Java are playing a vital role in a creative mobile application development environments.

Android is a framework built specifically for mobile devices. It has a well-designed operating system through Linux by Google and Open Handset Alliance.

Day-by-day it becomes the hottest, fast growing mobile platform in the world for mobile application development. Android is the exceptional platform that allows android developer to build unique, creative, sophisticate and multi tasking applications. In android smart phones the android applications can run simultaneously without affecting the performance.

Java is not only built for web pages or web application development but also it has huge contribution towards mobile application development. Using Java, html and css a java developer can build more powerful & faster mobile applications than the old generation applications written in C. Most smart phone mobile applications are built with J2ME components. J2ME mobile applications are more popular and widely used platform for wireless phones among the top manufacturing smart phone companies like BlackBerry, iOS, Android.

Basically Java is an object oriented programming language. It was invented for the purpose of increasing the productivity of both developers and End Users. Java enterprise application development is not an easy task for a java developer being high risky. Before java, Professional developers were doing their jobs faster through COBOL, Pascal, C, or C++ in a complicated process and the end user can also build new creative mini applications using various. Now software marketer and enterprise application developers have rush to create creative new generation applications using java with less risk and more user friendly. The fourth-generation programming languages have gone to the back seat and the new generation developers giving more productivity to the market through advance java and J2EE.

Java came in the year 1990 with more portable option with C++ to develop embedded systems by Sun Microsystems. Sun Microsystems has offered java as a programming and development platform. It became an awesome choice for developer and software venders to develop high quality applications and software. Development of business and enterprise application development was bit complex at that time but after arrival of advanced java and J2ee it helped a lot. J2EE is the Java 2 Platform; Enterprise Edition helps in developing multitier enterprise applications. Before J2EE, the Java developers were also facing some problems during the application development because of the following reasons:

1. More use of modules in the projects. We are in the favor of modularity which helps java developers to work separately but when you have few line codes inserting many buckets the developer may face problem.

2. Developer can invent new programming language but Implementation can be done under the underlying platforms with traditional service provider.

3. The steady stream of new UI approaches reflects in the presentation layer due to Java’s lack of leadership.

4. The deficiencies of Java disclose in hibernate, spring, Struts, and other frameworks.

The advanced J2EE model provides modified and simplified approach to develop high quality java application development. The complexity of enterprise applications are managed through its components and application developers are free to stick on their logic. J2EE summarizes the layers of functionality in specific types of components. This helps in faster development in time, better quality, maintainability and portability of applications. It hides the complexity and create flexible user Interaction.

At Andolasoft the Java Developers are dedicated to provide quality Java and J2EE application developments that are robust and performance oriented. We follow Agile Methodology and this iterative process allows us to deliver enterprise applications quickly. Our team of skilled Java and J2EE Developers are highly experienced and ready to take on any technical challenges.

1. Take advantage of HTML5 and CSS.
2. Use JavaScript to write your code.
3. Access Native Features of the supported platforms.
4. Deploy your application to multiple platform.
5. It works similarly to native applications without a browser frame around them.
6. The basic fundamental of PhoneGap is “Write Once, Compile in the Cloud and Run Anywhere”.

Development of Application using PhoneGap within 30 minutes

Prerequisite Software for Application Development

1. Eclipse Integrated Design Environment (IDE) to write code for the development.
2. Java Development Kit (JDK).
3. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) for developing Android Application.
4. Android Development Toolkit (ADT).This is a plug-in for Eclipse required for the Android Application.
5. Install the PhoneGap and add the plug-in in your eclipse.

Build the Application in PhoneGap

1. After the PhoneGap plug in added in your eclipse, you will find an icon in the eclipse tool bar. (refer Screenshot – 1)

2. On click of the icon you will get a “Create a PhoneGap for Android Project” page.(refer Screenshot-2)
3. Choose “Use Built-in PhoneGap – version1.1.0” under “PhoneGap Configuration” and choose “use PhoneGap example source as template for project” under “Project Contents” then click on next button.

4. Enter the “Project name” , select the “Build target” and enter the “Package name” and click on finish button.
5. A Project will be created in your eclipse. For directory structure of the project please refer (Screenshot -3).

6. Inside the project many directories will be created and among them one directory called “asset” where all the html5,CSS and JavaScript resides.
7. Open the inbuilt html5 from “asset” folder and design a page where there will two input fields ie. “First Name” and “Last Name” and two buttons ie.“Submit” and “Clear”. On Click of “Submit” button it will display the user entered name with Hi as an output.
