Converting existing static website to an android app (APK) using phonegap

Question

I've a static website which purely uses only HTML5 and JS. And I have setup the phonegap in my windows 7 PC as well. My Question is what are the steps that I've to follow in order to create an android APK file out of the existing HTML/JS files. There are lot of tutorials on creating new phonegap project from the scratch. But I couldn't find any help on importing existing static website to phonegap project (please note that https://build.phonegap.com/apps is not an option for me.)

"And I have setup the phonegap in my windows 7 PC as well."

I'm assuming your CLI is ready for cordova development. Then it's enough to follow this tutorial/documenation.

Go to your desired directory where you want to build your project. e.g.

d:
cd d:\myworks

Then create a cordova project

cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld

go inside the project directory

cd hello

And platform android

cordova platform add android

There will be a www folder inside yourProject hello->www

Delete all css js html folders inside that directory and put your static pages there.

connect your device to PC and run cordova run android
