Is it true? Adobe AIR based Android development has no future.
And I heard, Android no longer supports ADOBE AIR/FLASH Systems. Is it True?
And HTML5 Is the best alternate, I heard. Are these points true?
- Not just "Android no longer supports Adobe Flash browser plug-in". Adobe discontinued development of Flash plug-in for browsers on mobile. The point here is that modern web experiences should prioritize mobile and thus I would personally recommend to limit Flash content usage in a web application when it is possible.
- Adobe AIR applications compile to native applications for both Android and iOS. So you can use it to develop mobile native applications as long as Adobe supports it. If your application is resource intensive or need some access to specific native APIs, there could be certain limitations and thus Java and Objective C might be preferred option depending on platform.
- HTML5 is completely different story. You cannot build native mobile applications in HTML5 as such. You can build web applications with it. Nevertheless, some tools like PhoneGap can be used to package it as a native application. But there are also certain limitations as with Adobe AIR.
P.S. Unfortunately, there is so much misperception and ignorance with all of that and there are so many people out there who have no clue about the technological aspects, but make categorical statements.
