Developing applications for Android and other mobile devices using web technologies is now well within reach. When the capabilities of HTML5 are combined with CSS3 and JavaScript, web application developers have an opportunity to develop compelling mobile applications using familiar tools. Not only is it possible to build mobile web apps that feel as good as native apps, but to also write an application once and have it run a variety of different devices.  

While the HTML5 specification is still evolving, there is a lot that can be used right now to build mobile web apps. Mobile web apps are now starting to provide many of the features that were once only available to native-language-based apps in Java, Objective-C, etc. Pro Android Web Apps teaches developers already familiar with web application development, how to code and structure a web app for use on the Android mobile platform.

  • Understand both the why and how of mobile web app development, focusing on the Android platform.
  • Learn how to structure mobile web apps through a number of practical, real-world application examples.
  • Discover what cloud platforms such as Google AppEngine have to offer Android web apps, for both hosting web apps and providing device to cloud data synchronization solutions.
  • Get a real picture of the status of HTML5 on Android and other mobile devices, including some things to watch out for when building your own applications.
  • Understand the capabilities of the web application stack, and how to complement those with native bridging frameworks such as PhoneGap to access native features of the device.
  • Gain an understanding of the different UI frameworks that are available for building mobile web apps.
  • Learn how to include mapping and leverage location-based services in mobile web apps to create engaging mobile experiences.
  • Enable social integration with your Androidweb app and gain access to millions of potential users. 

After reading this book, you will not only have a greater understanding of the world of web apps on Android, but also how to leverage additional tools and frameworks to increase the reach of your mobile web apps. Additionally, through the practical samples in the book you will have been given solid exposure of where both the opportunities and challenges lie when building mobile apps the web way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical "get it done" approach
Reviewed in the United States on 4 August 2011

Excellent book for learning HTML5 and actually writing something useful. Lots of practical examples that actually work. Not just limited to HTML5 too. The authors pull in examples from PhoneGap and other resource to show you how to actually get things done when HTML5 may not be quite enough. I recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only features one sample geolocation app
Reviewed in Germany on 18 May 2012

While I needed an introduction in HTML5 and related JS / CSS3 technologies to build apps on Android and similar OS, this book (printed on demand in Leipzig!) only features one geolocation app with very little sidenotes.

If you want to exercise your toolchain with a geolocation app, this is the right book.

Otherwise, this book does not go into much depth regarding HTML5 / JS / CSS3 related technology.

1.0 out of 5 stars Code samples do not work and there's no support for the book - if you buy this book, you're on your own!
Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2011

A note to the editor: make sure the code works before publishing a book next time. Failing that, a note to the authors: set up a support forum for the book in case your editors screw up your code, and include that site address in the book.

I'm lost, I don't know enough about javascript to figure why things don't work on my own, I can't find any support for help with the book at the publisher's site (this is the first OF MANY technical books I've purchased that didn't have a support forum for it), and I'm only in chapter two!

I give up. I'm pitching this book, wasting $26, and finding something that's actually helpful.

This is my first Apress book - now I know who to steer clear of.
