Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by ClintonNzedimma(m): 8:40am On Jun 23, 2016 |
Good morning ProgramLanders. I would like to know if its possible to develop simple android apps with PHP as backend, HTML and CSS, JAVASCRIPT as front end?. It will be a non-server side app but the app will make use of XAMPP in the local host just like PC to interact with PHP. I want to develop the app for my Computer Science department in school and i dont code in Java or C++ yet cc: dhtml18 fulaman198 sonofLucifer javanian guru01 nmeri17 |

ClintonNzedimma:Not dived fully into mobile app development yet, but I think cordova/ionic can be used to create apps with web technologies. |

sonOfLucifer:if so can you enlighten me? |

No, you can't develop it with PHP, since you already know HTML and Javascript, Just use Ionic Learn Ionic here http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ionic/ https://thinkster.io/ionic-framework-tutorial 1 Like |

ClintonNzedimma:You can build you android am with java which is the official way. Or use Javascript with other frameworks such as ionic, cordova, telerek, intelxdk, Mosync, AppGyver, jqmobile ..... 2 Likes |

android studio with xml or qt with qml designer . Android studio is the official android IDE . Actually qt is for expert programmer. |

guru01:okay thank you |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nmeri17: 8:28pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
guru01:In addition to these, you might wanno look into NativeScript too |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nobody: 8:48pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
ClintonNzedimma:Yes it is possible. But in reality, I work with android xml/java as my frontend and php as my backend. |

dhtml18:hmmm...i dont code in xml at least not yet. how do u use php as backend in android development like xampp in d localhost not server? |

I advise having a strong foundation in Java to do Android development. Knowing some XML as well to create objects in your code when calling them with the R class. But overall, know Java |

ClintonNzedimma:To create a JSON API, or a websocket client if i am building a chat. Note i prefer to use NODE.JS for this, but if it is PHP that is available, i use it as well. see some of my related threads: https://www.nairaland.com/3142123/how-build-one-on-one-chat-im https://www.nairaland.com/3136801/chat-engine-html-android-client https://www.nairaland.com/3136801/chat-engine-html-android-client |

dhtml18:there is no escaping java |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nobody: 8:11am On Jun 24, 2016 |
hexy40:I was simply answering a question. If your app does not need to connect to a server, then you dont need PHP at all. But if you build an app like a chat messenger, facebook app, gmail app, nairaland app ---- it must connect to a server, and such an app will require an API to connect to - which can be in any language at all whether PHP, C++, JSP, NODE.JS etc |

But you should keep in mind that android apps can have an embedded database - sqlite right inside the application that does not need an external server. So, if you build an app like a notepad, jotter, event calendar marker, address book etc you can store the data locally into your app using sqlite. But most real-life app normally have a local database as well, that is why applications like whatsapp can show you past chats even when you are offline. The information is read from a local database most of the time. |

dhtml18:yeah, thank you |

bro better go learn c#, java or golang as you will be able to develop native android with any of them, deliver youself from the shakel of php, this and many more will happen in the future if you still dwell only on php. ClintonNzedimma: |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nobody: 10:07am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Raypawer:Exactly, there are so many things out there. I wonder why you guys stick only with PHP. |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by greatgbolla(m): 11:21am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Since you know javascript and html, phonegap is your solution |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nobody: 11:30am On Jun 24, 2016 |
greatgbolla:That can work, with PHP being used as the backend like i stated earlier. |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by ClintonNzedimma(m): 12:20pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
Raypawer:yeah i will, just dat php is d most powerful programming language i know.... will learn c++ and java soon 1 Like |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by Nobody: 12:25pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
I will rather you learn JAVA or C# than C++ (preferably JAVA/Android). |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by FincoApps(m): 7:24am On Jun 25, 2016 |
ClintonNzedimma: Yes you definitely can. You can build nice Android apps with HTML5, CSS and Javascript... then use a wrapper like Cordova. That's what I do You might face performance issues at first, but trust me you'll get better as you move on... Here are some good apps that were designed this way: Access bank App Diamond bank App GT Bank app (I have used only the BlackBerry10 version and it is indeed an HTML5 app not sure of the Android own) BlackBerry10 Browser BlackBerry10 brick breaker game (This one is particularly amazing) You can contact me for further help using NL PM. I won't bill you unless you want me o design something for you 1 Like 1 Share |

^^^Keep up the good work bro, mister OP you have better follow this advice. Trollin' into JAVA is not exactly easy at all. Even with my vast experience in programming, it still took me over a year (almost 2 years) to really master android programming with JAVA. Maybe I am getting old sha, or my brain is dull. . . . . . |
Re: Is It Possible To Devlop An Android App With PHP by FincoApps(m): 7:51am On Jun 25, 2016 |
dhtml18: LOL thanks DHTML. It took me more than that to master BlackBerry Java too o. I guess that's the reason I find it hard to let go lol. Although OP I forgot to mention you should consider learning some Java because HTML5 might have some limitations. For example, 1. You want to create a fairly graphics intensive app and you want low end devices to run it with little or no issues 2. You need to use Libraries like OpenCV, Tesseract etc 3. You need your app to run in background You can actually do some of them with HTML5 but native development would be better |
