My company wants us to explore PhoneGap and needs an application deployed to Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. They want to use one development environment(Visual Studio).
I believe I have read that it is possible to deploy an app to an Android device using PhoneGap : build from inside Visual Studio, but I would like confirmation.
Thank you
You can build apps for Android, iOS, and Windows devices by using Visual Studio. As you design your app, use tools in Visual Studio to easily add connected services such as Microsoft 365, Azure App Service, and Application Insights. Build your apps by using C# and the . NET Framework, HTML and JavaScript, or C++.
You absolutely can, but I find that adding too many plugins to Visual Studio Code can bog it down considerably and make it slow to use.
MonoDroid is a framework that is used to build Android-based mobile applications using C# and . NET. In this tutorial, we learned how to get started with the MonoDroid framework and Android SDK and build and deploy a simple Android-based application.
Nomad is a Visual Studio extension that can build for both iOS and Android directly from within the IDE using a PhoneGap based cloud build service.
After developing the application in Visual Studio you should be able to take your HTML/JS files, upload them to the PhoneGap Build service (http://build.phonegap.com) and have it compile/generate Android and Blackberry application files for you.
Alternatively, if you don't mind using another IDE for the last step, you can always import your HTML/JS files created in VS into a new Android or Blackberry Phonegap project and compile.
