My company wants us to explore PhoneGap and needs an application deployed to Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. They want to use one development environment(Visual Studio).
I believe I have read that it is possible to deploy an app to an Android device using PhoneGap : build from inside Visual Studio, but I would like confirmation.
Thank you
No. In theory yes, but in practice no.
This is not a technical problem, but a social problem in your company. The decision makers have not experience of building mobile applications and try to apply their existing knowledge to an area they don’t know and they fail. Unless they can understand their own limitations you are screwed.
It is possible to edit source code using any text editor. However, Visual Studio will not have any IDE goodies, like e.g. launching Android application from IDE available. Forcing Visual Studio upon developers would just hinder the development process.
Sorry about being employed in such mismanaged company.
