Can anybody explain to me how this app works? Is Internet required for that or not? and from where that window which display the content of the device in PC, comming from to explore the Device?

Usually, AirDroid requires an active Internet data and connection for remote access of the device. This means no matter where your device is, you can still access all of its data and manage it from the PC. You can manage your device either from the web browsers or a dedicated app from your desktops.

AirDroid is server application based on lightweight PAW Server: http://paw-android.fun2code.de/. I think that the used framework is your main question, isn't it?

Another server you might want to try is Jetty: http://code.google.com/p/i-jetty/

Have fun ;)

actually air droid starts a http server on your phone just like apache does on your computer. ALL THE graphic that you see you can actually retrive from the app itself it doesnt uses internet. You can extract that graphic from the app just by using a zip opener to open the .apk file. It mainly uses client side scripting for exmple javascript.
