I have developed 5 web applications(GAMES) in which i have developed in PHP and Mysql.
Now i want them to convert into Mobile Applications i.e., the 5 games can be played in android mobile
Now my doubt is can I use android WebView and load them or should I develop them from scratch in android.
Please suggest me how to develop them.
you can use WebView witch is not best solution with HTML 5 and some CSS3 app, or you can create native app from beginning by create web Service Restful or what ever working with Json object like facebook and g-mail app did.
native app is faster and better however if you don't need high quality app use webView and design your website for mobile using HTML 5 and CSS3 then simply just by upload website content to WebView congratulations you have android app as same as to IOS and Windows Phone.
there is a lot online tools helps to convert your website to android app like :

check this http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/convert-websites-for-mobile-devices/
i assume if you know how to use HTML5 and CSS3 you create Manual i mean with out using online tools web Design for mobile will be better and never ever tested those online tools so check them
difference between native app and web app.

I have a question on good practise. I have a website where people can do some stuff after they logged in. I want to make an app, which gives mobile users the opportunity to instead of opening the web site, they can just open the app. Because you need to log in, I was thinking about using WebView and display the site, because I do not see any necessary to learn Android code using this way. Is it considered good practise to use an Android app this way?
Instead making hybrid web application you can create PWA:
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web applications that are regular web
pages or websites, but can appear to the user like traditional
applications or native mobile applications. The application type
attempts to combine features offered by most modern browsers with the
benefits of a mobile experience.
See tutorial: Building Progressive Web apps with ASP.NET Core.
See also tutorial from Google.
You can use a web service in server side and use traditional android interface (e.g. two EditText for username and password, one button for login and one TextView for errors)

I have made a website using Angular 2. I would like to create a mobile app out of this website. I am hoping this will make the site run faster on smartphones. I thought that if I transferred my Angular 2 site into a mobile app most files would not have to be downloaded every time the page is visited.
Is this a good idea? Will it speed the app up? Does anyone have other suggestions?
PS: I have used Ionic but I don’t want to rewrite the app using the ionic framework, instead I would like to use the existing code to build a mobile app.
I think you should look into Apache Cordova. This is what ionic uses to access the native functionality of the device. here is a link for the site You can use any form of js, css, or html. it also has plugins you can use. Go though the Get Started button and then start the tutorial should help you out.
With Cordova you start with a blank slate and can build an app using whatever JavaScript libraries or frameworks you want. So it will support Angular 2.
Speed will depend on how many ajax calls you make and the logic you use to create the app functionality. Having the website stored on device will speed up the initial load of the js, css, and html. But if you have good internet speed and not much to load the speed up will not be noticeable.
I think the real advantage of having a native app (even through Cordova) is that you will have native access to the device file system and functionality that you would not have with a website. Check out the plugins for Cordova. Push notification, camera or any number of other plugins...

is it possible to make such mobile app that will run on website and can also be installed on mobile(both android and iPhone).kindly guide me if it is possible?
Yes, this is possible. There are a few tools for that. A good option is to go with Phonegap. If you already know how to build an HTML5 web app, you can use Phonegap or the Phonegap Build service to turn it into a mobile app.
Also, Intel has a tool called XDK that allows you to build mobile-ready apps using a visual layout manager and HTML5 technology. XDK lets you move your project over to a variety of mobile devices.
Both of these technologies will port over to both Android and iOS. Be warned, though, if you have no experience developing mobile or web apps, there's a bit of a learning curve.
I recommend getting started with a good tutorial on HTML5 development (Head First HTML/CSS, Head First Javascript Programming, Head First jQuery are good books for beginners).
Bootstrap is a great system for creating a web page that works well in both mobile and PC formats.
Here are links to Intel's and PhoneGap's tools:
Intel XDK
PhoneGap
Best of luck!
There is a platform for building native mobile apps using JavaScript/HTML/CSS but I believe it would be difficult to run those apps in the browser in the same manner.

I have built a very simple android app (i.e., an app that essentially just shows pictures along with some quizes). I am curious what the cheapest way of duplicating my app on iPhone, assuming I can't do it myself?
In that case, you should develop this app in titanium framework that framework basically supports javascript type structure and provides platform to develop app in both platform ios as well as android.
You might want to take a look at the j2ObjC project from Google
It will convert existing Java code to objective-c.
I haven't tested it and don't know how well it does perform, but if the app is simple, it should do well
If your application feature has not required native framework then you can create your application in multi platform framework.
Apache Cordova is one of the reliable mobile application framework which is run on iOS, Android and many other operation system.
Also you can find much details on this Link.
So you can make you application with using such framework and deploy on any operation system.

We are developing a mobile dating application which includes the following features:
Manage Photos:
Add/Delete
Able To Crop Photo
Reduce File Size
Auto Set Dimensions Of Photos Before Uploading To Server
Push notifications
If our target platforms are iOS and Android, could we achieve the above tasks using phonegap or similar cross-platform development apps?
If not, please suggest if there is an alternate way other than native development?
In theory, the tasks you described could be done using Phonegap with a help of an external JS library (example : pixastic) that can help you achieve some actions like cropping, resizing, etc.
But, the problem with Phonegap is that it is related to the browser's performance. As you know, the most used android versions are 2.3 and 2.2 . Their built-in browsers (used by Phonegap) can have some difficulties to load corretly some pages or render them as quick as expected.
But, if you are aiming ICS devices, you can go ahead. IMHO, I would develop this kind of apps with Phonegap if Chrome became the default Android's browser (may be in Android 5?). But, I would recommend native-developping your app.
