I have this idea for a new project which should run from iOS, Android and as a website. I wanted to have the exact same interface on the web and mobile.
I found Ionic (with Cordova) to support both iOS and Android. My question is: can I still use the same code base (or most of it) to serve the website?
Yes you can and that why its so amazing, the challenge will be to make a nice responsive design
I want to develop one Android/Mobile app that should be support Video play and web services calls.
I am looking for cross platform development, for this whhich framework is better.
I heared Phonegap is best one but i want to know the limitations of phonegap and the performance of App if i select Phonegap.
Please share you Phoneegap vs Native
Can you please share your ideas, that is great help for me.
Thanks

PhoneGap enables you to build your application for your mobile devices using html5, css3 and javascript. It's easy to get started on any of the seven different platform. Have a look at http://phonegap.com/start for the short tutorial to get started.
There is also a similar question here at stackoverflow you might be interested in reading which compares the different framework that exist: Comparison between Corona, Phonegap, Titanium
There shouldn't be any problem adding video since PhoneGap uses HTML5, so, it supports the video tag Video tag
I am .net developer. I want to develop an application for mobile devices. As i am a web developer i am well versed with web technology & scripting languages. I am a big fan of JQuery so, i found something Jquery Mobile Framework for mobile application development.
So, I've got few questions:
Will this framework help me develop web applications or only for designing purpose?
Can i use my Jquery knowledge to implement web application using Jquery Mobile Framework?
Can i use Jquery AJAX in mobile app development?
It won't help you build a mobile "application" but it will help you create a mobile enabled web site.
It will help you build the front end of a mobile web application.
Yes
Yes, if you are referring to mobile web applications.
The back-end technology you use does not matter. I've built several .NET MVC sites using jQuery Mobile, which have all worked pretty well.
jQuery Mobile will help you build a website, you can then view that website in a browser or package it into an app. If you want to create native applications out of HTML/CSS/JS then you will need an intermediary step that lets you run a webview as your app. PhoneGap is an example of a framework that allows you to use native APIs while building your application in HTML/CSS/JS.
Your knowledge of jQuery will come-in handy but you will be forced to think about a jQuery Mobile website differently. For instance, pages are not HTML documents, but pseudo-pages that can be in separate documents but can also have multiple pseudo-pages inside a single HTML document. And because remote documents are brought into the DOM via AJAX (for animated transitions), you need to code your site to use unique IDs across the whole site, not just from page to page.
Absolutely! jQuery AJAX makes creating dynamic websites and native apps easy. You basically just load a bunch of views (in HTML/JS/CSS) into the app. package and then your server does the modeling. One cool thing to take into consideration is that since you are running from a mobile app., there is no domain from which the response is sent, so there is no cross-domain-policy to worry about.
If you have not yet checked-out PhoneGap, do so, and also see the documentation on the jQuery Mobile website regarding how to create PhoneGap applications using jQuery Mobile:
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/pages/phonegap.html
Even after searching PhoneGap's website and their support group, I still cannot find an answer to my question:
Currently, I'm planning on developing an application that should exists as a pure HTML5 application, being able to run in any modern browser (Google Chrome, Safari, etc.) as well as on Android/iPad as native mobile applications.
So my question is:
Is it possible to use the same code base to develop both pure HTML5 applications as well as native mobile applications with PhoneGap?
PhoneGap is in effect a runtime environment for HTML, javascript, and any CSS that may accompany your code. So in short:
Yes, but it is recommended that you have some knowledge of Objective-C if you want to develop any iPhone app with extended functionality. If you have the right dimensions/proportions for the code there is no reason why you cannot simply copy that code into PhoneGap and compile it.
See, the support for #HTML5 varies from browser to browser, and varies a lot from a desktop browser to mobile browser. If one has to convert web-portal to a mobile application that can easily be done through Phonegap, you can refer to this link also. https://build.phonegap.com/ It worked fine for me.
Now lets come to Phonegap, what phonegap does is it has created wrapper through javascript that calls the native apis. Now to show content they use WebView object which renders your html5 page in your app. And you can create your own wrappers too. Not that much difficult.
So if your app is only a web based portal, that does not need much native access, you can easily reuse one codebase make #cross-platform apps using Phonegap. Else you need to go for hybrid apps.
Are there any guide lines for developing an Android web application? I am developing a web application and hosting it on the web, and I want to use WebView to incorporate that link in my Android application.
If we want to develop a mobile website do we need to follow any set of standards? If yes, are there any tutorials or examples?
W3C has a list of mobile web app best practices. http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/
Update:
The Android Developer official site also has a good reference;
