I have a dynamic HTML5 document that does not contain any external resources (no images, css and scripts are coded inside of document). This HTML5 application is working fine with internet browser. I was wondering, if it would be possible to convert this HTML5 application into standalone Android application, so it can be executed directly without browser. Please advise.
You could use App Builder to convert html to android app. App Builder can be easily downloaded at google playstore.
The responsive design capabilities of HTML5 are particularly well suited to the diverse screen sizes found on Android devices. With a variety of tools available, such as the Intel XDK new IDE, you can deliver a great experience on Android using the open standards of HTML, CSS and JavaScript!
To convert your HTML app to APK, you need to open HTML App Template on AppsGeyser, and insert your code. After that, you need to name the app and upload the icon. It takes up to 5 minutes to build an apk.
The same HTML5 app will work on different mobile operating systems, whether that's iOS, Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry; the upshot of this is that the cost of developing the app is much lower than creating native apps for each OS.
Create an Android app using Eclipse.
Create a layout that has a <WebView>
control.
Move your HTML code to /assets
folder.
Load webview with your file:///android_asset/ file.
And you have an android app!
Edit:
PhoneGap has now been discontinued.

You could use PhoneGap.

This has the benefit of being a cross-platform solution. Be warned though that you may need to pay subscription fees. The simplest solution is to just embed a WebView
