Does Android support jquery?

Question

I am developing an Android application,here I have decided to put page flip rotation.Just wanted to know whether Android supports jquery so that it would be easier for me to implement the logic

Answer 1

If you are developing a web application, then yes, Android will be able to view it properly. Android's browser uses the WebKit layout engine, which supports Javascript, and therefore jQuery. But on the other hand, if you are really making a web app, then there is no point in targeting Android specifically: most web-enabled platforms will run it with a few hacks here and there.

I presume you are actually making a native Android app (i.e. one which will be compiled to an .apk file). This is a completely different thing: it is programmed in a different language (Java), and is not hosted in a web browser.

Answer 2

if you are looking to build a webpage using jQuery & view it in android.. then the answer would be yes (since jquery is a javascript library & android's webkit supports it).. but jquery cannot be used to create apps you need to use java for that.
