Can anyone point me at a tutorial for building a basic PhoneGap application; but more than just the shell that MyEclipse can generate? I am working with MyEclipse 2015 CI so something targeted to that environment would be ideal.

Are there any good open source project built using PhoneGap that I can install into MyEclipse to study?

Should I also install GapDebug?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi Lofi

Thanks for providing that reference it has provided me with one initial starting point.

What I was hoping to locate was a video tutorial that led me through creating a sample application using MyEclipse PhoneGap extensions that included sample splash screen, simple navigation, local data access, etc. and showed approaches to testing using simulator and downloading to device. A lot to ask for I know 🙂

I know there is a lot of material out there for PhoneGap and I expect to be spending quite a bit of time on that. What isn’t so prevalent is best practices for using MyEclipse to develop in PhoneGap and I guess this is still in the early stages of evolution anyway.

THANKS
Peter

Well, I really like the MyEclipse 2015 CI 2. It misses some convenient stuff, but all in all it’s good to work with. Especially the hot-deployment to the simulator saves time.

Regarding navigation I suggest you try using jQuery. I converted my example to jQuery, but now I got a 35 MB project which is too large to upload.

Check out this post regarding upload to an Android device:

I haven’t checked out iOS yet, since Apple is greedy and requests a $99/year payment from developers to allow them to test their app on an iOS device.

I’m still waiting for an answer about the splash screen in my topic here:

The ME guys can certainly tell me if it’s a bug of theirs or not. So I don’t want to waste my time on that right now.
