I’ve been researching writing applications with Android and have begun development in Java. However, I have already written an application which works successfully using a combination of php and html (utilizing http post for a search utility), which then contacts an API.

I have read that PHP can run on Android, but is this only if the user installs something special? Or does it now come standard on Android phones?

Secondly, if not, I’ve heard of simply creating a web application. Is there a way I can use my already working php code with my Android? or will I have to customize it in some way.

Any light on this subject would be great. I can’t find consistent answers!

    There are several options i found:

    1. http://phpforandroid.net/
    2. http://www.talkandroid.com/6211-php-for-android-install-it-and-start-testing/

    Please note that i have not used these frameworks and have no idea how good they are.

    Another option is develope in java and make HTTP calls to the php in certain occasions when needed.

    One more option, is phonegap which allows you to develope android application using HTML,Javascript,CSS but that will require some changes to your existing application.
