I have to build an android hybrid application with rails using turbolink but could not find any simple example, i have no experience with java, but a good experience with rails.I found one video but not of much help.
Please suggest and share the links to create some basic example apps. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
If you want it to be downloadable from the play store and not just a phone browser app, my best advice is probably to spin up a new React Native app that manages your front-end views, and makes API requests to your backend Rails app. Your Rails app would not deliver views to your React Native, it would deliver JSON. React Native apps can be released to both the iOS and Android app stores.
There are tons of good tutorials to achieve that. Hope it helps.

is it possible to make website in node with template engine and restful api (together) for android application ..
I know it is possible when using react For website but i have no idea how to work with template engine
I'm not sure what you're asking but if you want to create a website that can act like a native-app you might have a look at Progressive Web Apps (PWA).
On the other hand, if your idea is to "reuse" code, React Native is a good solution.
I am working on a project requirement.the project will be a ASP.Net Web application.
Database will be Microsoft SQL Server.this ASP.Net Web application will contain all the business logic and functionalities.
I have another requirement that all the functionalities in that web application should be accessible through mobile(IOS/Android) devices.
I hope we can do this in 2 ways.
1.Develop that web application with Responsive UI Design that supports all IOS/Android mobile devices.
2.Develop the web application business logic functionalities as .Net WebServices.Then Develop Separate Android/IOS applications to communicate with .Net Web Services and provide Better user interaction in Mobile.
Which way is the best way? Is there any other ways to accomplish this task?
among above two ways,How hard to make it possible / which is the hardest way?
Please somebody give a good solution.
Thanks
It depends on how "native" the app should be. Is it ok for the client to open a browser to visit the app? Or maybe it's enough to use phone gap to "emulate" a native app. From the actual point of view it`s hard to say what solution would fullfill the requirements. However, developing a native app arises a new maintenance channel. If you develop a reponsive web app it will be the only app that needs to be maintained. With every additional app you create (android, IOS and maybe Windows) you will create an additional app that needs to be maintained and to be tested, rolled out etc. Just keep that in mind while designing the architecture.
I think you should go with responsive web application.
Because as your are developing a new application then if you go with responsive then will save you time and the version problems which users face with **Android/IOS** will not occur with you.
Although you can provide full functionality to user with responsive. If you develop mobile application then it has some limits.
I have been developing Phonegap application. I was looking into how Google App Engine(GAE) can be used with Phonegap.
I have couple of queries for which I couldn't find explanation after I Googled a little bit..
How GAE can be used with Phonegap?
Can GAE be used with existing Phonegap apps?
How is it beneficial?
What will be pros and cons?
I Googled little bit but .
Any links to give overview of this would be a great help.
Thanks.
You can use google app engine with your phonegap using custom web service (REST and SOAP) as long your app can request and response with your web service.
I want to build some kind of multi-user blog that should mainly be used via smartphone but CAN be used at a pc/mac too. I want it to be stored in the iOS and Android AppStores, so just a webapp with mobile-view option doesn't seem right to me. Now my question. Whats the best option to start with? Create the webapp first to get the backend, databases and stuff and than write the native app that gets access to that databases? Or start with native app first and just build a simple webapp that gets access to the native app backend? Or maybe write the webapp with mobile view option and just write a simple native app that uses the UIWebView to show the mobile version of my webbapp? I hope this question is not too confusing^^
P.S. I decided to go for ruby on rails for the webapp and store that stuff on amazon aws ;)
P.S.2 How much is the UI of a native app customizable e.g. TableViews etc? Because implementing WebApp via UIWebView may be the more stylish option?

Look, Native UI will have quite good performance event on old Android devices,
but it requires some development effort to work with Android SDK. On another had you can create some hybrid webapp using Phonegap, but you shoud keep keep in mind that you may have some performance problems with slow-slow android's web view.
As for me blog app could be implemented with lightweight JS/HTML5, but in this case please don't use Jquery/ jQuery mobile - they are extremly slow, and I experienced huge performance degradation.
I have to develop as soon as posible an appication (for android) similar to foursquare, I need to store some details in the phone and retrieve some other data from a web service. I can develop with phonegap or like a native app. What option do you recomend? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one?
I think that to develop an app similar to foursquare you need to develop a native app.
In fact I believe that you'll need to integrate the app with the use of the GPS and maps... this is not simple but this features are well documented.
Good luck :)
For as soon as possible, choose the platform you're more familiar with. Native development is in Java, Phonegap is in JavaScript and HTML. If you don't know either, hire someone who does - that'll be much faster that learning from scratch. Probably cheaper, too.
