  • 0

I need to build a mobile application which is able to compare data in a remote database [e.g login system] and also get a string from a QR Code. I have zero experience developing mobile applications, but found two interesting tools. PhoneGap and Mosync.

I know there is a few PhoneGap plugins for PhoneGap [like this https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/iPhone/BarcodeScanner/README.md ]. But it seems to be for iOS only. Or am I wrong?

I know that zxing has a cpp port. It’s possible to use it to develop the application using Mosync?

I have much more experience with C/C++ than javascript, for me would be much easier to do the work using Mosync. However, PhoneGap seems much more complete. Any recommendation for this job?

    Actually the same github project has BarcodeScanner plugin for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry:

    I have not worked with Mosync so have no idea about it. On the other hand PhoneGap is easy to use and it has wide user base so easy to get help also. Although it may still be a learning curve for you due to your background.

    Edit

    All above links are pointing to DEPRECATED branch of the phonegap-plugins which you can visit here. @David has mentioned the link below for the plugins repository to download the latest plugins.
