Note that there are a lot of moving parts to getting everything set up and running at first, this guide should cover most of them, but it is possible that you will need to do a bit of research and interpretation of your own, so be prepared for that. Given the overwhelming popularity Cordova has garnered I used that one when creating my app.Īll that said, I thought I’d give you a little rundown of what it would take for you to start your first Cordova Android project in Komodo. In fact from our research we’ve found that many enterprises choose to use Cordova instead of PhoneGap.

PhoneGap and Cordova use the same underlying technology, but PhoneGap is targeted at the enterprise (and has additional features for this user group) and Cordova is Open Source and targeted at anyone else. Essentially, these technologies let you write mobile applications using web technologies. In case you’re not familiar with PhoneGap and Cordova, I’ll give you a quick primer. Although I’m not a mobile app developer, given the new functionality in Komodo I thought it would be fun to write my *first* Android App. We’ve been seeing more of our users getting into mobile app development, so we added PhoneGap and Cordova integration in the Komodo X release.
