Tools for Mobile App Development with HTML5/CSS

Hi --
I am interested in learning to develop cross platform mobile apps using HTML5 and CSS.
Which Adobe product(s) (and other tools) are best for this?
I'm guessing that Apache Cordova and Adobe PhoneGap Build are places to start but I'm looking for input from others.
I'm also guessing the Adobe Edge products are appropriate "IDEs" for this kind of thing?
What does Cordova bring to the table that isn't available in native HTML5/CSS?
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this question but upon reviewing the list of available forums this seemed like the best fit.
Thanks
Rich

Rich,
There are few routs you could go to create a Mobile App using Adobe tools.
1. Adobe Muse then export from Muse and visit build.adobe.com as Brad pointed out here:
Can I make a Mobile site with Muse and then go through PhoneGap?
"Export as HTML and the create a zip file with the contents. Go to Phonegap,s website and submit the app directly from there instead of through Dreamweaver."
2. Dreamweaver and Phonegap build access inside Dreamweaver. Read other users experiences on this community form before you rely solely on Dreamweaver to upload your app to build.adobe.com
3. Manually coding and uploading your html, js, css, assets (images, audio etc) files coded either in new adobe Edge Code or Dreamweaver to build.phonegap.com
For easier graphic editing for media devices use Adobe's Fireworks graphics software instead of Adobe Photoshop for graphics. Once you start on your project there are various workflows you can use depending on what you are trying to make.

    Hi All,
    I'm completely new to J2ME programming. But I have past experience on J2SE developement. Now I would like to know that where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
    I'll be very greatful if I can find a useful step-by-step tutorial (eg. "The Java Tutorial" for J2SE)

    ibook-widgets.com    have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store.  Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author"   they also  sell widgets.
    I  dont have any connection - I  found their eBook in the store long ago  and used it to learn more about iBA.
    The best advice though, is be patient,  go back over the process step by step, I cannot  access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their.

  • Mobile App Development with 4.0 ?

    Greetings!
    I am just about to get into mobile app development. Our Company thou still operates Apes 4.0 and we are waiting for the 4.2 release, before we do the upgrade. On the other hand, the mobile app should be ready earlier due to customer requests.
    Now I myself I am still quite new to Apex. I have done some research about what you can do with earlier versions, but havn't really found anything very usefull yet. So I would like so ask here for some advice. I could try building the GUI myself with jquery, installing the latest jquery/mobile versions, fixing the templates, building my own templates, etc., but that would be a humungous work and not the apex-idea.
    Are there template plugins for tablet and iPhone GUI elements, that - maybe with a little tweeking - run on apex 4.0, including the touch-screen effects like "swiping" to the next page?
    Or would you suggest, to upgrade to 4.1, even thou in 3-4 months we might have to make the upgrade again?
    For any link to related articles I will be very gratefull, too.
    Best regards,
    tobi

    1)Which is the latest version that supports mobile app development ?None.
    1.3 did support mobile development to some limited extent, but that is a deprecated dead branch and no longer supported.
    You can run JavaFX on a Windows 7 or 8 tablet PC, but my guess is that by mobile app development you mean iOS/Android - neither of which are supported.
    2)Will it have the cross device support?Perhaps there will be a version of JavaFX that runs on iOS/Android at some time in the future.
    There are people working on making this possible =>

    3) How about the performance and security?Can't really talk about performance and security of something which doesn't exist.

  • Do mobile apps developed with Flash Builder 4.5 rely on a redistributable or virtual machine?

    I'm very new to Flash Builder 4.5 and am still trying to get my head around it.  I'm freelance and my primary code pimp has asked me to justify using FB 4.5 to develop mobile apps rather than something like PhoneGap or native SDKs (Objective C, Java, etc.).
    I'm quite impressed with FB 4.5 and it seems quite plain to me that FB 4.5 tries very hard to provide all the tools necessary to create iOS/Android/Blackberry apps all from a single code base but I'm wondering a few things:
    1) Does this require the use of a redistributable or virtual machine?  I'm wondering both from a performance standpoint but also just to understand better how FB 4.5 provides this magic one-project-for-all-platforms capability.  I'm guessing there must be some kind of virtual machine abstraction in use -- or does FB 4.5 generate a fully native application for each platform without the need for a machine abstraction layer?
    2) Has anyone encountered a situation where any of the target platforms lack features or behave differently?  E.g., "I cannot access some hardware feature like the accelerometer on Android under certain conditions."
    3) Can anyone speak to the relative benefits or penalties that FB 4.5 offers relative to PhoneGap or other HTML 5 solutions?

  • Using spry for mobile app development

    Hey guys,
    is the new spy 1.6.1 version compatible with javascript 1.5? if not is there any alternative...say spry 1.5? what are the limitations to deal with?

    Hello,
    Your title and post contents both require different answers.
    For the post contents:
    I cannot not guarantee that it will work in 1.5. As I currently have no test cases or have seen test cases specifically targeting JavaScript versions. Browser targeting is more common and more widely executed.
    If I remember it correctly Internet Explorer 6 runs JavaScript 1.3 and Spry runs fine on it.  So.. maybe.
    With mobile support the biggest issue isn't the JavaScript, its the DOM engine of those browsers. And different mobile phones, have different quirks in them :). But those aren't Spry specific the only way to get a definitive answer on your question is to execute some testing your self.
    As for the latest range of smart phones such a android and iphone's they run Spry fine

  • HTML5 Web/Mobile App Development

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone say what are the combinations available in html5 web/mobile app development like html5+JS ?

    Here we will discuss the basics of HTML5 document. Today HTML5 is one of the most exciting buzz in web circles. Actaully HTML5 is the new standard for HTML.
    it is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs but not all.
    Rules for HTML5:
    New features of HTML5 should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
    Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
    Better error handling
    More markup to replace scripting
    HTML5 should be device independent
    The development process should be visible to the public

  • RAD tools for JSP apps with GUI editor?

    Hi,
    Could anybody recommend a RAD tool for JSP-based development with an integrated GUI page editor and HTML, JSP and JavaBeans/J2EE Java code generation?
    Should be usable by (trained) business analysts, so tools heavily based on UML are not exactly what I'm looking for.
    I need to develop a small "white label"-style generic web application for a few business processes, then let business users/analysts modify and deploy it.
    Thanks,

  • SSL Pinning support for mobile apps ?

    Hi there
    i've just read this article and wondered if there is cross platform support for SSL pinning for mobile apps (iOS and Android) developed with AIR ?
    So far my Google research wasn't successful, therefore i ask here.
    Maybe this feature could be supported by a native extension ?
    Thank you for any hint.
    Regards

    I believe IBM has a mini version of DB2 designed for mobile Apps.

  • Help me in embedding a map for mobile app

    I have built a basic simple iphone app in flash cs5.Now I want to create a new scene in flash cs5 to show this map fully funtional along with markers in a small resolution for mobile app.(iphone)
    link of the map:

    Pls help me out in sorting this problem out

    You need to sign up for google maps API here : http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html, get your API key. You need this otherwise it will not work. Thendownload the SDK, from here:http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/ its on the right, on step 2, "SDK"
    the set up flash with the SDK, and then in your components inspector there will be a new folder saying google.
    Drag that component onto the stage. Then add this code: information  will need to be changed to suit your location and API KEY
    package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.geom.Point;
    import com.google.maps.LatLng;
    import com.google.maps.Map;
    import com.google.maps.MapEvent;

  • Feedback for BB app developer

    Hi folks,
    We are developing a Blackberry version of our app. It's for the website PeoplesRepublicOfCork.com (Cork, Ireland).
    The developer is having a lot of trouble pulling out the locale (language). We want to be able to change menus into the language that the phone is set to by getting the blackberry to tell us what it is.
    To allow us to test it on the 'music video' page of our app we have a little piece of text at the bottom of it that reads:
    locale=()
    if it successfully pulls out the language you should see locale=(English) or similar.
    Some people on certain devices see this, others don't. We are trying to track down which devices/operating systems it works for. 
    For OS6 and 7 to download it visit:
    http://proc.cc/apps/blackberry/Proc.jad
    For Os5
    http://proc.cc/apps/blackberry/5/Proc.jad 
    From the main menu choose 'music video' and scroll down to see the locale. If you could post your OS and device type and whether you see locale=() or locale=(English) we would greatly appreciate it. Ireland has very few Blackberry devices so its very difficult for us to develop with simulators. 
    Alternatively you can email us at
    [email protected] 
    Many thanks.
