All of us know that Apache cordova is an API that allows access to native device function. Cordova is not complete in itself and requires HTML, CSS and Javascript to build apps with it. Simply put, Cordova is an open source framework for packaging mobile apps using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Cordova wraps the HTML, CSS and JavaScript web app using the native shell. In this article, we look at what make Cordova exciting as well as the new features that make it attractive.
1. Cordova provides a set of uniform JavaScript libraries that can be invoked, with device-specific native backing code for those JavaScript libraries. Cordova is available for the following platforms: iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Palm WebOS, Bada, and Symbian.
2. The advantage that Cordova offers is that it can be built without any native code. Instead, web technologies are hosted locally in the app itself. Because Cordova is all about cross-platform mobile development, you’re aim would be to target multiple mobile device platforms. In that case, if you were building an app for Android and iOS, you would have to open a terminal window and create a new Cordova project structure with projects for both Android and iOS.
3. It is here that the CLI simplifies matters for us as mobile web projects have icons, screen graphics, CSS, and/or JavaScript files that are unique to each target platform. Since each mobile device has its own theme and icon requirements, it’s likely that at a minimum of those will be required. In older versions of Cordova, one had to manage all of that manually. But with the CLI all that has been taken care of.
4. Apps using Cordova are still packaged as apps using the platform SDKs, and can be made available for installation from each device's app store.
