I have developed an android app which parses the website content and displays them on mobile by mapping the content to android specific View. Please note that this app is not the optimized version of website.
I am thinking to monetize it by using Adsense.
But, i am little confused on which Adsense should I use? Adsense for mobile or Adsense for content, and why?
Adsense is for websites, and Adsense for mobile is for mobile optimized websites.
If you are displaying the content using an android UI as opposed to a WebView, you should be using AdMob.
Keep in mind that almost all ad networks will have a clause in the TOS that you must own the content that you are monetizing. That is, you cannot parse someone else's website and monetize it.

I have a WordPress website, it is responsive and use AdSense advt. in it. I am creating an android app (Webview) for the same, however in android webview I want to hide AdSense ad.
Is there any way to block the adsense on android webview.
You can control the behavior of AdSense ads on different devices, browsers and resolution, and various other customization controls through Advance-Ads plugin.
i want to display some images (changes frequently) as ads in my own app by using coding in app (without registering in Admob sites etc…)is this possible?
Actually, i don’t have knowledge in coding, but i want to develop one app with the help of any android developer
I have developed simple webview app for my website. App simply load url of my website with in webview. Is it ok to insert adview for admob ads in this type of app? Thanks in advance.
You can either embed the ad in your webpage or add an adview to your app layout. It's really up to your personal preference.
I suppose the big difference is that if you wanted to change the adview after you've published the app, you would have to release an update while if your ad was on the webpage you could just change it there.
You should also consider that if you have ads on the webpage for people viewing it through a browser, you probably don't want to have additional ads within the app itself (or maybe you do, I don't know), it all depends on how your users access this website.
The new Google Play Developer Program Policies state that it is no longer allowed to publish web browsers that are based on WebView:
Do not post an app where the primary functionality is to:
Provide a webview of a website not owned or administered by you
(unless you have permission from the website owner/administrator to do
so)
I was thinking of developing a WebView-based web browser but now I see that this is no longer allowed.
Frankly, I find it insane to ask every website in existence for permission to display its content via a WebView based browser.
What are my options? Is there an alternative web kit that is as powerful as WebView?
It doesn't say you're not allowed to make a browser.
It says, that you're not allowed to make an app which merely is a WebView showing a website you do not own, and don't have permission from the owners to make.
That is, I am not allowed to make a GMail app, which merely is a WebView showing the GMail mobile website.
One reason could be, that such an app provides nothing that a bookmark wouldn't. Another reason could be, that such an app may seem to the end user to be affiliated with the website it's embedding. If the app then added adverts, crashed or provided some kind of negative user experience, this could reflect poorly on the website being embedded.
You totally missed the point, if you are making app that displays some site that you don't own then some users of that site will use your app instead of simple browsing to get information from that site.
Let's say that site has 3 pages
-> 2. -> 3.
If you are showing page #3 from your app then users will not see ads from page 1. and 2. Which means that you are stealing that site's money.
And that's why you need permission from site owner.
I've developed a web-based mobile application using Jquery Mobile and HTML5. Now, can I create an iPhone Application that has only a browser inside that runs the my application ? so that when the use clicks on the Application icon, it redirects him to the URL of my application. Can I do that with Android Market as well ?
If not allowed, what's the best way to make access to the web-based app easy ?
As per App Store Review Guidelines
There is a chance that your application may get rejected e.g.
2. Functionality
2.12
Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
12. Scraping and aggregation
12.3
Apps that are simply web clippings, content aggregators, or a collection of links, may be rejected
If it is a useful app (worth having in a mobile device) it won't get rejected.
Don't have your corporate website's mobile version as an app. But you can go for something like this http://itunes.apple.com/lk/app/south-wales-fire-crime-unit/id459417012?mt=8
Follow apple's UI standards
You can load your web page inside a UIWebView. You can do this either by over the internet or having the files inside the app bundle.
