I have to make a project for android tablets, But i don’t know if I can use Phonegap instead of learning Java. My application has to:

  • Talk with SQL server: update, delete, etc (using web-services) if there is no connection with server application has to store data in local then has to update to remote
  • Show current location of user in map (like navigation)
  • User can add location or information on the map, (like tracking objects on locations)

Application will use Internet, so application has to be secure, application doesn’t have a lot of users maximum users will be 50.

So what do you think? If you work in Phonegap can you suggest me to use it or I have to learn Java?

    Short Answer is No You don’t Have to , You can use PhoneGap or if you are a .NET Fan-boy then use Mono For Android instead

    PhoneGap

    when you start your new application project you will just need to load your html page to the app and this is all you need to know about java , and from this point you will start implementing in your HTML document using javascript , html , css , phonegap to access mobile APIs , jquery mobile etc

    enter image description here

    The best way to Access a remote server data from you “Web based app ” is to make ajax calls to the remote server so keep in your mind that you will use Jquery Mobile (or any other UI frame work that support this functionality )

    if you will use PhoneGap and looking to have a native look app recommended is kendo ui it is a little pricey $200 but worth it

    plus what Ridcully said in his answer “If you want to program for Android in earnest, you will have to learn Java and the Android API.”
