How to build a cross-platform html5 application for android

android, cross-platform, html

Solution

Yes, Eclipse is fine; Google provides an all-in-one package, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download; for a HTML/JavaScript app your could have a look at PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/). They have really good tutorials for beginners. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap for an overview of features.

There are others e.g. Titanium or Appcelerator (see http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2012/05/comparing-titanium-and-phonegap.html)

Problem

I'm new to android development and after scanning the web for this particular issue i'm still confused about how to develop an html5 cross-platform application? Can i do it using eclipse? What are my possibilities? Could you inform me what should I go through and where exactly?
