This might sound like a duplicate question but trust me its not.
I have an Android app. It contains WebView to display webpages. Now I am planning to go live with the app on ios too. Now having two different codes and maintaining them is a difficult task.
Is there a way I can develop app in both the platforms with minimum maintenance issues. With minimum maintenance I mean more reusable code that can be use on both the platforms.
I have heard that it can be done using Chromium Project but am unable to find supporting docs for the same on internet.
Any suggestions?? or reference materials??
For what I know there is no way you could use your Java code and the XML files (including your WebView) in IOS application. the language/platform are different.
What you could do is to develop a web application that looks as a mobile application for example using JQueryMobile and the export it using the already suggested PhoneGap framework to any platform you would like.
You should try one of the several frameworks out there, being PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com) an interesting option.

short question, is there a free mobile app template available? I’m very new to this so I don’t know much. I hear react native is the most common? If it is any consultation, I’m looking for a picture sharing format like iFunny.
Thanks!
In android studio, there are a few templates for new activities/fragments. If you're looking for something that you can download and just change a few variables, it will probably take you longer/be more confusing than actually learning to program an app.
Each app has their native source code. For android it is java/kotlin, and iOS it is swift. React native is a framework to create your apps for both platforms at the same time(ish). Programming in the native languages vs using React has their own pros/cons, so it's up to you what you want to do.
If you are adamant on using a template, then a simple google of 'react native app templates' will probably be what you are looking for.
I personally recommend going the honest route and learning to program your app, it's not too difficult, and you will learn a lot!

Is there a framework out there that allows for the same UI code to give a web app, an iOS app (preferably native), and and Android app (preferably native)? I know there is Angular 2 with Ionic 2 but the mobile apps made this don't look as native as I'd like. Are there any other options that accomplish this?
I'm not looking to only reuse business logic between the different apps, but reuse the actual UI code too to minimize doubling up of coding effort. As I understand this would rule out React Native because UI code for the web apps and mobile apps will be separate.
Thanks! :)
Have you tried Firebase? http://firebase.google.com You have most of your backend needs covered and the web is full of examples for native iOS, Android and web (Angular or other)

As an intermediate-level programmer of C++ (that have been working on C++ for console apps and used only FLTK for GUI apps), I heard much about Qt5 to be suitable and very powerful for creating apps for many platforms such as Windows, Linux, iOS and also Android.
I'm now a novice on Qt and to create apps for PC, I'm going to start reading this book (which is of Qt4).
But I, too, like to start reading a good book on Qt5 that makes me able to create apps for iOS and Android. Is there such a good book?
Any suggestion is fully appreciated.
This book will give you common sense about Qt, but keep in mind that there's a lot of difference between Qt4 and Qt5 (most important that Qt5 improves QtQuick module). To build your iOS or Android app I suggest you will need look deep inside of QtQuick. This book will help you a bit.

I dont want to use bootstrap html or etc, I just want to try practice of usind java to make android version or swift to ios version?
I think without HTML coding u can't develop the GUI of any web site. but if u want to create apk file which run on web page also then u might be use (ionic, cordova) framework to create cross platform App which also run on Web browser and it will also give feel like app on web browser.

Can you please also let me know what is the best points of the framework you recommend?
PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to author native applications with web technologies and get access to APIs and app stores"
Check about the supported features by OS here
You can use your javascript , HTML, CSS skills to create native apps. avoiding the burden of Java (Android), ObjectiveC (iOS) etc.
Free!
This is another strong contender.
I would like to suggest you PhoneGap for your needs. It supports almost 6 platforms.
Have a look on the link this will help you
