creating phonegap/cordova application for android

The Cordova Command-line Interface

Step by step : Platform –android ,OS-Window;

As my experience ,It is more easy to created Cordova /Phonegap application through Command-Line Interface .

Step 1: Download and install Node.js. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node or npm on your command line.( site:  http://nodejs.org/ )

Step 2: Download and install a git client,* ( site : http://git-scm.com/ ) . you need git client in feature for adding plugin.

Step 3:  go to your Nodejs installed directory (mostly in C:\Program Files\nodejs  at my system)in Command Prompt . C:\ Program Files\nodejs  >npm install -g cordova

Step 4: please mention –g this will help to install cordova globally.it take some time to download cordova Libraries .

Step 5: After that create your project : copy and paste

cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld

cordova create: command to create cordova project .

hello :directory of this name will be created at your current location in cmd .so change your  directory path to specific place where you want to create your project .

com.example.hello :package name of your project .you can change this.

HelloWorld :Name of your project.

Step 6 : wait for completing process.

Step 7: now you can see hello folder at  the destination .

Step 8:now enter to project folder as   D:/joshi>cd hello

Step 9 :now add platform as   D:/joshi/hello> cordova platform add android

To check add platform use > cordova platforms ls

To remove plateform use > cordova platform rm android

Step 10 : now to  build app > cordova build android

Step 11: compile and prepare :

                  >cordova prepare android

> cordova compile android

Now your project ready with hello world application. And you can add this project to eclipse . (use this : http://android.programmerguru.com/how-to-import-android-project-in-eclipse/ )

Step 12 : you can move this build project from one pc to other (Nodejs must be installed)
