Apache Cordova Tutorial Convert Web App to Mobile App

Learn to use Apache Cordova to convert web applications to mobile apps.

Boy oh boy... some of the comments... let me help some of you understand a few things:
1. Cordova's blog shows they are still adding things to it and deprecating old things that should fall away from it. Last update Nov. 2022.
2. Adobe, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla, BlackBerry, Etc, Etc, Etc... contribute to Apache Cordova.
3. I produced a Java/Eclipse Android developer series of videos 11 years ago(Android Native Language).
4. I mentioned in the video that this topic is finished, so chill out and let people experiment who choose to.
5. Just because you chose another tool(abstraction) previously and love it, so what, go make videos about those tools.
6. If you don't want to use it, that's fine, nobody wants you to.
7. Put all of the IDEs and SDKs down, try to get your winky wet more.

Dear Adam, as one of your core viewers (who prefers to learn the core language over random short lived frameworks) I fully understand your frustration with these comments. These days, everyone is calling themselves a developer... but the truth is, they can hardly code. CORDOVA is still alive and well! In my experience, 99% of the people advocating for fancy frameworks never learnt the base language that these frameworks are built on top of thus, those people become totally useless when a new required feature/workflow is not covered by the framework.

I remember making a cordova app many years ago. Good to see it is still alive and kicking.

This is awesome! I really wish you could do a series of video like designing an app using cordova, I'm trying to design an app using HTML/CSS/Java script but I'm having a hard time to setup the platform since there's only few tutorial about the cordova.

Thank so much Adam!

Yes, this is what i want... Now days developer underestimate the power of Cordova..
I am using cordova since many years now.. and it can do what other fancy development platforms can do like React, flutter etc..
I am also planning to make some advance real world app with cordova using native features like camera, location etc. access with advance UI designs ...

Thanks for inspiring me :)

It would be cool to know how to use the various mobile API calls like push notifications, and stay alive (run as a background process).

[wilawara]

Nice explanation thanks, it would be great to have a new tutorial about running it in avd emulator or plugged in device because since I updated from an old version of Cordova, JDK Android platform and Gradle I could not make the emulation run 😅

How is the support / performance for the canvas element? Which platform (cordova, flutter or react Native) is the best to use?

[moayadmyro]

But it’s no longer supported both from Adobe and Microsoft?

Hi Adam, very nice video. Is it doable to convert a php App to mobile App, where somehow a DB connection is required? OK, i understand i could do that with a fetch and an api/server call (when the mobile is online) but could, this "approach" with api call, be converted ? Thank you

[The_Nameless_Traveler]

Thank you for the video! This has me excited to try making my own apps! :)
