Create hybrid mobile apps using Phonegap and without installing SDKs for platforms to be supported


I have downloaded phonegap-2.9.0 from http://phonegap.com/. It contains doc folder and lib folder containing sample projects (I think so) in the folders named after the platforms. After going through the net articles it seems like I have to install SDKs of all the platforms I wish to support for an app. I don't want to do so.

Is there any way I can use a single editor and create apps that will support other platforms, and how would I use the JS files in lib folder ?

I want to use JavaScript, CSS and HTML.


Solution

  • Okay, for Android you need to use Eclipse IDE, Install Android SDK in your local system, Install ADT plugin for eclipse, then you can create new Android project from File > New
