Of course there are still device-specific needs when developing an app, but PhoneGap keeps us from having to start from the ground up for each one. The result is a hybrid app that is neither completely web-based nor truly native to the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of results, this means more time spent improving your app and adding features, and less time making sure it works on a particular device.\u00a0 That\u2019s a good tradeoff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softgridcomputers.com\/contact\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softgridcomputers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/softgrid-blog-Banner_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.softgridcomputers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/softgrid-blog-Banner_2.png 740w, https:\/\/www.softgridcomputers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/softgrid-blog-Banner_2-300x57.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, a PhoneGap project contains four functional parts, which ensure the implementation&nbsp; &nbsp;of the HTML\/JavaScript code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A native browser (webView), embedded in the project.<\/li><li>Structured API for accessing the native functionality of a mobile device from JavaScript code.<\/li><li>API for writing native plugins.<\/li><li>File storage, which contains HTML, JavaScript, and other web resources of the application.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus PhoneGap allows to build a service-oriented, single-page HTML5 application. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softgridcomputers.com\/phonegap-application-development\/\">PhoneGap<\/a> is &nbsp;demanding, when it comes to architecture and optimization.
