HTML5 for Android

BJG

This isn't really a Gideros question, but could someone give me the lowdown on HTML5 frameworks? There seem to be a number of these but I don't know anything about them. Does it mean that you're creating apps using HTML5, or that they're implemented via HTML5? Are they more suited to certain types of apps? What the's deal? Thanks!

@BJG: As far as I remember from my limited try with Sencha Touch you write your app using HTML 5 and the framework takes your resources and wraps them up into an HTML 5 player of sorts.

I may be totally wrong on this as it was quite some time ago but that's how I remember it.

Ah, OK. Thanks @Scouser...

My idea is take some engine that support (work on) android webview. And then you can using android plugin via Gideros (or native android) to build some game /app

About your question, I think they really do game /app on html5 engine, and then export to device and play via mobile webview.
There are a lot of game and app that build on html5 and work well on mobile.

Anyway, I love using LUA and make game and app using Gideros, simple and powerful,
