I want to develop a local web app using mobile jquery.
what is the way to open the app using icon in iphone and in android?
Thanks,
it really depends on your project depth.depth in sense of complexity.its always suggested to develop separate for each platform.evaluate your needs carefully.
if the application is simple enough then you can go for third party apis
PhoneGap and Sencha Touch are good options.
but still you might find yourself restricted by a third party API if you need to add new functionality in the future.
What i understand from your question is you want to create a iOS and Android app using html, jQuery etc. There are tools such as PhoneGap, Titanium and Sencha touch. Using this tools you can create a mobile applications with help you HTML, jQuery. However, this apps won't have same user experience as it'll have with the native apps. Also, just think about future releases of your application. If Apple or Android adds new features to there OS it'll be definitely take sometime for above third party API to implement them
Also, apple clearly rejects app which acts like a website. So, you'll have to be careful with this. I'd suggest you to go for native app development. It'll provide you flexibility.
As far as I know, you can't get anything onto iOS without an Apple Developer account. As for Android, you can check out PhoneGap. It also has iOS, but it won't build without a valid apple dev account. Does that seem to be what you're looking for?

Want to create an app which can run on both ios and android without modifications.
Cider (http://engineering.columbia.edu/sync-columbia-engineering-team-first-run-ios-apps-android-platform)
seems to be promising. But couldn't find any examples.
Are there any other means of getting this to work? We don't want to maintain 2 codebases for the same app for ios and android.
I am used the following steps to convert
http://www.apportable.com/ please refer this link.Using this sdk we can
directly convert Xcode project into Android project.
I tested this sdk.It is give amazing output.
It is only need four steps for converting.
this is for your reference , in before i never used ,bz i don't knw JAVA.if u need this convert Android to iOS use this link

ok try to develop app in phonegap(cordova) by using html,css and JavaScript programming language
Have a look at Apache Cordova. Supports almost any platform you like and is open source.
http://cordova.apache.org/
Other option would be Xamarin. Has a commercial license for both platforms.
http://xamarin.com/
You can use PhoneGap, you will have one app for platforms other than Android and iOS also.
PhoneGap is a mobile development framework produced by Nitobi, purchased by Adobe Systems in 2011.[3][4] It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of device-specific languages such as Objective-C.[5] It enables wrapping up of HTML, CSS and Javascript code depending upon the platform of the device. It extends the features of HTML and Javascript to work with the device. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are neither truly Mobile native application native (because all layout rendering is done via web views instead of the platform's native UI framework) nor purely web-based (because they are not just web apps, but are packaged as apps for distribution and have access to native device APIs). From version 1.9 onward it is even possible to freely mix native and hybrid code snippets.
The link u provided is an on going research,it will take more than 3-4 yrs before it can come in market,However u can use the existing technologies like
phonegap
titanium .... to do what u want

I am newbie, and i don't know how to create HTML5 based android application.
1.) Could anyone give me some workaround on how to create HTML5 based application for android platform.
2.) What tools/libraries should i use in creating application ?
if possible, then please share the links.
Android SDK enables you to create a web browser app. Just like Google chrome. You can then deploy the App to Google play store so people can download it and Install it on Android phones and tablets.
Jquery mobile is a popular framework that makes it easy to create a mobile web App that can be viewed in a browser.
Put the two together and you have a mobile APP that can be started on the phone just like any other app and it looks and feels just like a native APP.
Once you create your Android SDK webview App you can move the JQM folder in the resources folder and tell webview to load the index page of your web app when the app starts. When you create your first app and get the hang of it you will see its very easy.
Here is a Tutorial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRa4yMjoI7c
But JQM still lacks a few things from what native written apps can do but its getting there. The latest version 1.4 is quite good but future versions will be even better and have more abilities.
The good thing about JQM Apps is that they can be viewed on any browser so it can reach more people and more platforms.
If you want to access some of the mobile phones inbuilt devices such as the camera or SD card with JQM then you need an addition to the Android SDk called Phonegap.

I have Android apps and I would like to port them to Blackbarry decives so I can also distribute them on the blackberry app store. What is the best way to do that? Is it possible? Or do I have to re-write the whole app in blackberry code whatever that is :)
Thanks,
Alex
Based on the whole "Blackberry code, whatever that is" comment, I'm going to assume you haven't programmed this in SenchaTouch, or PhoneGap, or some other mobile unification type of language based in HTML5. As such, I'm assuming you have used native Android APIs. Therefore, the answer is you have are likely to have to re-write your application. Though there is a little bit of hope.
http://developer.blackberry.com/android/.
Some applications can be ported, but it's not guaranteed to work, it depends on which version of the Android tools/apis your application uses and the type of application that you developed. It is likely to require at least a little re-tooling regardless. If this leads to a dead end you have to re-write your application.
http://developer.blackberry.com/
As referenced in the comments, you have a little more research to do. The site above is a good place to start.
You have to rewrite your apps to expose to Blackberry. If you want to write your application just once and export to Android and Blackberry (IOS too... at least it says the docs) you can test Titanium.
Natively written Android apps can be 'easily' converted to BlackBerry using:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/bpaa/apk-compatibility-check
You don't have to have had the Android app written in PhoneGap, html5, etc.
There are plenty of modules/frameworks that are not compatible unfortunately so often there is some tweaking to do. As an example, if your Android app uses Bluetooth, you won't be able to port without some changes.
However, simpler apps can be easily ported. As an example, a very commonly used sample app provided by Android is called ApiDemos (if you haven't used it, just search for it and download the .apk). In the link I provided, you can browse to the apk and your android-sdks folder and start the compatibility test and you'll see it passes. That is, once that's done, it's literally a repackaging/signing exercise with no code changes needed!

I'm gonna develop a small app both for android and Iphone. The app will contain a simple little online magazine. I have not done any app before. I work with developing Web pages in asp.net c# and I'm familiar with java. So I'm a beginner in terms of mobile apps, and now I'm wondering how to begin and where to find good information about basic app-development.
If you aren't building anything complex and just want to display something, a good solution might be PhoneGap. You can develop using HTML, CSS and Javascript and deploy to multiple platforms.
If you want to develop native applications, however, for Android, you can follow Vogella tutorials. He provides a set of tutorials starting from beginner level to intermediate.
There are many routes you can go. I will try to list some below:
Java / Objective C. You will need to know how to program in each of these languages (java for droid and Obj C for iphone). Use the SDK for the respective platform.
Cross Platform mobile platform- You can use frameworks like Rhodes, Sensa touch, etc. This will let you write code one time and build the packages for android, iphone, and much more.
Web- You can write applications using web technologies like HTML5, CSS, Javascript, etc and there are tools to package them as Android / Iphone application. Otherwise, you can use a WebView in Android (which basically creates a browser-like experience in your application).
It is upto you to decide the best route to go. There are tons of information available online (stackoverflow, and Android/Iphone sdk websites).
I suggest that you take a look at http://developer.android.com/ for guidance in android development

Can we create android applications using HTML5?
You can write complete apps for almost any smartphone platform (Android, iOS,...) using Phonegap. (http://www.phonegap.com)
It is an open source framework that exposes native capabilities to a web view, so that you can do anything a native app can do.
This is very suitable for cross platform development if you're not building something that has to be pixel perfect in every way, or is very hardware intensive.
If you are looking for UI Frameworks that can be used to build such apps, there is a wide range of different libraries. (Like Sencha, jQuery mobile, ...)
And to be a little biased, there is something I built as well: http://www.m-gwt.com
Try Sencha Touch. It is a HTML5 compliant framework to build application for touch devices.
Here is a starting point for developing Android apps with HTML5. The HTML code will be stored in the "assets/www" folder in your Android project.
https://github.com/jakewp11/HTML5_Android_Template.git
When people talk about HTML5 applications they're most likely talking about writing just a simple web page or embedding a web page into their app (which will essentially provide the user interface). For the later there are different frameworks available, e.g. PhoneGap. These are used to provide more than the default browser features (e.g. multi touch) as well as allowing the app to run seamingly "standalone" and without the browser's navigation bars etc.
You can use WebView and create a app that put your site inside.
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/webview/gettingstarted
you can use webview in android that will use chrome browser Or you can try Phonegap or sencha Touch
The WebIntoApp.com V.2 allows you to convert HTML5 / JS / CSS into a mobile app for Android APK (free) and iOS.
