Are there any app built with html5 feature (such as canvas, video playback...) available in Android marketplace?
I'm looking for html5 web apps wrapped as a native android app.

We have some PWA's for flight, hotel booking, etc. we want to add it as a separate section and open it in our existing Android and IOS apps(Native apps).
we are trying to achieve the same behaviour as in native app
Hi you can use a webview in your native apps. It is possible for IOS and Android but you will never have the same "feeling" as a native app. For further information check the documentation of Google and Apple:
Android Web View
iOS WebKit
I know that a website can be displayed on an android app using a WebView. I have created an android application and I want to know if there is a way to display an android application as a website. Is this possible?
No.you can't. Native Mobile functionality are totally different from websites. So you can't convert native android app to website type of application. Instead you can use hybrid application like sencha,titanium, jquery which is flexible to support in all mobile platforms and also website.
I am developing a cross-platform application. I came across Phonegap, which supports several mobile devices. But I am new in this field so I'm facing some issues.
I have a requirement, where the user downloads video files from a server and then opens those from local storage from mobile.
So how to achieve this using Phonegap, which should support iOS, Android and Windows.
I have already gone through:
Phonegap - jQuery Mobile - Download/Save/Load File
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.0.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#LocalFileSystem
But I'm not getting proper documentation/tutorial. If there are any examples available then it would be helpful to check/debug.
Thanks in advance.
A search on SO shows that on Android there are some issues with HTML5 video and Phonegap:
Phonegap 2.3 and Android with HTML5 video tag in 2013
At least in Window Phone 7 there are some tricks as well (storage path related).

Which may explain why there isn't a single multi-platform example which is what I think you are looking for.
Short version:
Are there any web sites people have developed that harness PhoneGap functionality that are available on the web?
Long version:
PhoneGap allows developers to package a web site inside a native app. It also allows developers to have a PhoneGap webview embedded as part of their application. They can then point this PhoneGap integrated webview at any url, and use it like a browser.
I cannot develop web sites myself so I want to know if there are any web sites on the internet that use PhoneGap features.
Thanks
Not wrong. In order to access the Phonegap API the Phonegap App must be installed on the device. The content inside the App can point to a website, that's correct. But that does not change the fact that you need to download and install the App first.
I have two Phonegap Apps in the Apple App Store so I know what I am speaking of.
PhoneGap has a section on their website dedicated to mobile apps that were built using it:

Have 3 flash games that I would like to integrate in a menu / list in an android app. So when the user selects the game from the list, the game starts with help of android flash player.
Is it best to do this with WebView or is there something better? I do not know where to place the flash games to get them in my compiled application.
Is there a good tutorial?
Thanks!
Adobe flash provides one good way: You can build an air for android app. Use that to create your menu and compile all three games into your AIR app.
Here are some tutorial links about it and also about publishing AIR for Android applications:

I don't believe the android flash player can be launched from an intent yet, so using the Java Android will not solve it (for now)
And a third approach you mentioned, ought to work - using a webview.
