The interesting thing to note is that the development can be be same as if you are developing an AngularJS & Bootstrap Web app. This is inline with PhoneGap or Cordova being used to create a Hybrid mobile app. Following are simple steps to get started:
- Create a HelloWorld app with Cordova or Phonegap. Take a look at our previous article on how to get started with Cordova Hello World app.
- Once setup, what you have got is www/index.html where you could put your Bootstrap CSS path and AngularJS path.
- As like a normal web page, create an Angular app with ng-app and ng-controller directive. Use Bootstrap “.col-xs-*” class to align UI field for smaller mobile devices.
- Build and run. That is it.
Cordova/PhoneGap & AngularJS HelloWorld – Code Example
Pay attention to the angular ng directives specifying ng-app, ng-controller and ng-model. Also, notice the angular template (data binding) to display the data.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" /> <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.min.css" /> <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" /> <title>Hello World</title> </head> <body> <div ng-app="HelloApp" ng-controller="HelloCtrl"> <form role="form" method="post" action="#"> <div class="form-group form-group-lg"> <label class="col-xs-2 control-label">Name</label> <div class="col-xs-12"> <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" name="name" ng-model="name" /> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-10"> <h3>Hello {{name}}!</h3> </div> </form> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/angular.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> app.initialize(); </script> <script> var helloApp = angular.module("HelloApp", []); helloApp.controller("HelloCtrl", [ '$scope', function($scope) { $scope.name = "Calvin Hobbes"; } ]); </script> </body> </html>
