I am developing a Cross Platform (Android & iOS) Mobile App which would be compiled and deployed natively. (APK for Android and IPA for iOS). So this App would execute on WebView on Mobile Devices.
I am using DevExtreme (product of DevExpress) to develop the Mobile App. So basically HTML5. CSS3 and JavaScript is used for Coding the App. Now, I require a Offline Relational Database to store data related to my App.
I know that the below mentioned are available for the above mentioned use case, but I do have problem with each of them and that I have mentioned below:
WebSQL/SQLite: Deprecated and No Longer supported.
IndexedDB: Do not support iOS Safari and not useful for me.
Sequel Sphere: I think this is just Browser related and would not run on WebView. (Confused)
I surfed a lot and I am not able to arrive at a proper decision. Can anybody help/ provide me with a proper solution that would suit my above mentioned requirement.

Help needed
I need to know what is the proper way to create a native android and IOS apps. Is it possible to use CMS' like Drupal, Wordpress or Joomla if not Is PHP compatible in building apps using framework CODEIGNITER?
My skills:
Client side:
HTML5
CSS3
Javascript
Server side:
PHP
Codeigniter framework - beginner
You can get started with building android apps here - http://developer.android.com/about/start.html
You can get started with iOS apps here - http://designthencode.com/scratch/
If you'd like to use those various web frameworks to work as your app - the actual app you'd write would consist of a simple web view on each respective system. You would just point it to your site on load. Designing your site UI to fit the phones would be the most important part, and you'd want to read up on responsive CSS. Making an "app" isn't entirely necessary though, you can design your site and test it out on the browser of each device, before writing the respective programs to have it open.

I'm making my first backend for an app that should work for android and iphone. It should have features similar to instagram with some photos and text.
Currently I'm looking at doing it with google App engine.
For a backend like this, with users, posts, comments etc. Should I use the datastore option or SQL?
I know JAVA so using google app engine should be fairly simple. But is it simple to make it work with iOS too?
I'm open for suggestions if you think there are better places to do backends like something with node.js or so. It should be easy to deply, quick and expandable.
What would be your suggestions?
parse.com is the answer to all your problems
At work we use Drupal as a backend.
It's an easy to use CMS, It has secure RESTful connection for doing content management things. It has an iOS SDK https://github.com/workhabitinc/drupal-ios-sdk. It supports commenting, user registration, user permissions, posts out of the box.

I am trying to develop a simple Video Chat app, but I don't know how to Start.
I know there are a couple of ways to do this: WebRTC, Adobe Flex.
But WebRTC is only for p2p and the Adobe Products are expensive.
Do you know better ways to develop a Video Chat? The best would be a small tutorial.
I'm a developer with the easyRTC project. It is WebRTC based (thus no IOS), but it's also easy for most people with a little JavaScript experience to get working.
Opensource Homepage
Live Demo site
Support forum
Video of Windows 7 install
Video of cross-platform install
Currently it's still early-days, so OS and browser support is currently limited. WebRTC is supported by Chrome and Firefox beta on Windows, Linux, Android.

I'm searching for a serverless embedded noSQL document-store database for (mainly) Android and iOS.
To simplify, I need a document based SQLite :P
MongoDB is great, and has lots of drivers but it needs a server...
Maybe a stripped down version of it could be fine...
I can't help you with Android, but take a look to this Key/value databases that have been ported (wrapped) to iOS:
LevelDB (Port: NULevelDB): Made by Google, and it seems to be one of the fastest out there.
TokyoCabinet ( Port: TSDocDB): Very fast, but it seems to be a bit outdated, the official page states that there's a new version (called KyotoCabinet) that is even faster, but for that there's no port (as far as I know). And, is licensed as LGPL (that it seems not to be fully compatible with the AppStore).
iBoxDB for java can run on Android, it can store objects. if use to store HashMap, it works as document-store database https://github.com/iboxdb/forjava
You should consider Parse.com. It's very easy to use. It's not serverless, but they provide the server and it's well worth it. It's free for small numbers of API requests.
Incidentally, it uses EC2 servers running Ruby and MongoDB and it's incredibly scalable. It takes almost no work and is on iOS and Android.

I have an app that has requirements for various hardware needs on the adroid platform, such as the gps, camera, storage, etc. But this app is also going to communicate constantly while in use with a web based service. Its an extension of that service kinda like how facebook has an app for its services, well I have a similar requirement.
My problem is I am unfamiliar with Android development other than its based on the SDK and JAVA. So I am wondering are apps like the facebook app a browser-esk based application where some of the buttons controlling the app are for connecting to the hardware, or is the app a purely java based rendition of the web counter part?
The Facebook for Android app is a native app written in Java. If your app is going to interface with Android hardware, then yes, you're going to need to write a native app.
You do have the option of writing a web-based app (run from the browser) which will end up being cross-platform but keep in mind that you'll lose native hardware integration and might sacrifice usability as well.
For the time i prefer go for native app development because it can be used offline. While if you go for Web based that needs an active data connection.
