Mobile Apps with PhoneGap and jQuery MobileTerry Ryan Worldwide Developer Evangelist@tpryan
Who Are You?
Why jQuery Mobile?
Fixed position toolbar
Expand <a> to fill entire <li> space for touchability
Fixed position toolbar that doesn’t work in Android, yet
Replace default link following with Ajax call and replacing <body>
Add margins to list to make work with toolbars
Also it doesn’t display right.
Doesn’t work on all mobile browsers
Doing it yourself sucks.
Especially if someone else
has done it
<div data-role=“header”>
<div data-role=“footer”>
<ul data-role="listview”>
<a> No AJAX required
Entire app is one HTML document
Works perfectly in many browsers, gracefully degrades in most.
jQuery makes stuff easy
jQuery has a huge
ecosystem
GETTING STARTED WITH JQUERY MOBILE
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Codeworks</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css" /><script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.mobile-1.0.min.js"></script></head>
Basic Page Start
Page Model
<div data-role="page" id="landing" ><div data-role="header">
<!-- header content --></div><div data-role="content">
<!-- Page content --></div><div data-role="footer" >
<!-- Footer content --></div>
</div>
Basic Page Layout
<div data-role="page" id="landing"><!-- page content -->
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="detail"><!-- page content -->
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="map"><!-- page content -->
</div>
Basic Page Layout
<a href="#map" class="ui-btn-active">Map</a>
Navigation
<div data-role="page" id="second" data-add-back-btn="true">
Navigation
<ul data-role="listview"><li><a href="#second">Second</a></li><li><a href="#third">Third</a></li>
</ul>
Data Lists
<div data-role="navbar"><ul><li><a href="#landing" class="ui-btn-active">Schedule</a></li><li><a href="#map">Map</a></li></ul></div>

Next Steps with jQuery Mobile
We have a web app
We need a native app
Why do we need native?
CameraCompass
Accelerometer
The ease of web
the access of native
Enter PhoneGap
PhoneGap packages a
web app into a “native” app
What do you mean by
“native” apps
Apps can be distributed in
stores
UI is not native
PHONEGAP BUILD
One pain point: Lots of
software
Enter PhoneGap
Build
• Setup build– Certificates– Provision files
• Get code to cloud– Upload– Link to git repository
• Have servers build app files
