Hello Swarup-
Kendo UI Mobile helps you build "hybrid apps" for devices like Android, iOS, and BlackBerry. It leverages HTML5 and JavaScript instead of native SDKs like Java and Objective-C to help you build apps that can run on all platforms. It's the fastest way to build mobile apps that reach the widest mobile audience.
In your case, if you're building for Android, you will simply construct an application with Kendo UI Mobile, and when that app is used on Android (via an Android browser OR packaged with a tool like PhoneGap and deployed through the Android Marketplace) users will get a native-like experience (powered by HTML and JavaScript...not Java).
Hope that helps. If you have any questions, let us know.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for all the information you have given.It helped me a lot to understand the Kendo UI clearly.However,i have got some Questions.
1.If i am developing an application how to test in the android emulator.
2.Is there any specific guideline to follow the "how to use kendo UI "files for developing an app.
I would appreciate if you can give any specific kendo ui app,which i can run and see it in my android device.It would be great if some documents giving step by step guide to describe the method of developing webapp in android..it would be helpful for all the new users like me.
Thanks,
Swarup

No problem, Swarup. We're happy to help.
If you are asking about "native SDK" apps, as in apps for iOS built with Objective-C and UIKit, then no. You cannot use Kendo UI to build native SDK apps. Kendo UI is specifically designed to help you leverage the power of HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS to build mobile apps that can quickly target iOS, Android, and other Webkit platforms.
You can, however, use tools like Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) to access device capabilities (like the camera) in an HTML5 app. These so called "hybrid" apps help make HTML5 even more powerful.
Hope this all helps. Refer to the blog post I shared with Fajar in this thread to see an app built with Kendo UI Mobile that you can test on your Android or iOS device.

Hi Todd,
Thanks a lot to help me in understanding Kendo UI more and more.Now i would like to summarize what i have understood from this entire conversation.
1.Kendo UI is using html,javascript and css for building webapp which will give a native look in the different devices with different operating systems.
2.to leverage the native feture of an operating we need to use "coredova" for that.
Now my question is
1. "if i am building an app and want to test it in device rather than seeing it in my desktop browser,then what should i do"i am asking this as i am entirely new to mobileapp as well as web app development.

You've got it!
To test on the mobile device, you can either:
A) Open your app in a mobile web browser (by navigating to the URL where your app is hosted). This is probably the most common approach as it's no different from navigating to a webpage in your mobile browser.
B) If you do choose to use a tool like Cordova, then following the instructions provided on the Cordova website, you can build and test your app as a "native app" on the device. Your app is still HTML/JS, but Cordova provides a "native shell" that your app will run in on the device. (Again, if this path interests you, the best next step is to follow the tutorials on the Cordova website.)
Assuming you opt for the simpler path, just point your mobile device browser at your HTML page with Kendo UI Mobile (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/mobile/index.html) and have fun!

Really, Kendo UI won't change much about your basic scenario.
I'd suggest you start with simple HTML. Get your basic form working with your PHP code on your device.
Next, you can use Kendo UI to provide a much richer UI experience. Kendo UI could help you in these ways:
- Templates can help you provide richer formatting
- Data Source can help you bind UI elements to JSON data from your PHP server
- Kendo UI Mobile can help transform your HTML in a native looking mobile app experience
- Validation can help ensure users input the kind of data you're after
You can also look at the TeamThing demo (listed previously) and examine how we're connecting the HTML/JS in that app to data on a server. It should provide some useful pointers.
I suggest you get the basics going and then let's see how Kendo UI can make the experience better. You'll also probably want to start a new forum thread(s) for new questions you come-up with so that we don't "overload" the original purpose of this thread. Hope that helps for now.
