Phonegap Native and Kendo Suite Compatibility

[Matt]

Hi,

I am sorry if this has been clearly stated, but have looked and cannot quite see it.

If I want to compile my app to run as native on IOS and Android using phonegap (and not run it remotely from a web site), which parts of the Kendo Suite can I use?

Is it just the Kendo mobile functionality? Or can I use other widgets from the other parts of the suite?

Many Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

PhoneGap is just a platform wrapper that provides access to native platform functionality in a WebView component (a chromeless browser). Therefore, you can use any normal web javascript library in it and it will work the same as in the native mobile browser (although in iOS 4.3 - with slower javascript, since the Nitro javascript engine is not available for WebViews, fixed in iOS 5).

Thanks Kamen, I will give all the suites a try as I need to and see how I get on :)

One quick question comes to mind -

I wish to use a drop down list and a text entry box in my "mobile" app, should I just use the Kendo Web controls?
Or just use raw HTML 5 input controls (and that is why these are not in the Mobile suite as there is no need for an "upgraded" kendo version in mobile?)?

Thanks
Matt
