Question

I am developing an iPhone application using the PhoneGap Framework. Here I have to integrate a third party native library into my application. Can you please guide me as to whether it is possible, and if so how can i proceed?

Thanks in Advance,
Sri

Answer 1

I don’t know what third party library you are trying to integrate with, but in general it’s absolutely possible.

What you will need is a plugin to connect the two. Here is the PhoneGap docs on creating plugins:

If you need some examples of plugins already written, have a look at the phone gap-plugin repo on GitHub:

Hiedi Utley also has some helpful tutorials around writing plugins:

Hope that helps…
