Mobile Development–Native v/s PhoneGap?

1 comment


I have been  asked many a times which is the best solution of developing mobile application. Since I have experience of both Application development methods. Today I will try to provide a little insight of how these two methods actually works.
Native
Every mobile system runs into its own Operating System like Apple has ios  in iphone’s , Blackberry has its own OS whereas Android OS runs on many mobile devices. Therefore in Native Development we have to use particular language like objective C for ios development and java for android development which in-turn have there libraries which provides us the access to the various device functionality like Contacts, read sms etc.

PhoneGap
“PhoneGap is a free and open source framework that allows you to create mobile apps using standardized web APIs for the platforms you care about.”phonegap.com

PhoneGap uses the existing skills of programming like HTML, CSS, JavaScript for the development of the Mobile Application. It Provides own environment for application, and have its own jar and JavaScript files. phonegap or cordova js have access to all mobile device functionality like camera, sms, Bluetooth via the phonegap plugins.
Verdict
  • I think it is very important to understand the need and functionality of your application.
  • Development in phonegap results in multiplatform application whereas in native it is only build for supported OS.
  • Application Performance Is much better in native compared to phonegap.
  • In my opinion phonegap should be used where application have to rendered more content similar to html pages in web rather than having more device related functionality.
  • Native development should be used where application frequently access device related functionality and where performance is an issue.
