I have a website. I’d like to create a ‘mobile optimized’ version.
My question is : can I use somehow the camera, gps, accelerometer API etc. from the browser (ex. embed java etc.) ?
Thank you !

This web video from google IO could give you a good answer :

There are some solutions if you want to avoid a native app and prefer targetting html 5. Personnaly, I like too much java and OOP to get myself to deep in these technologies. Desktop and phones provide great APIs compared to the ever-patching-but-improving html/web technologies to my mind.
