What is the difference if we develop android apps in pure html5 without using phonegap libraries and what if we use Phonegap? This might sound noob but I’m really not getting the connection between these two?

Why do I need phonegap? Why not just creating html5 files and provide the path to it ?

    Using HTML5 and PhoneGap you can implement different kinds of applications:

    • Mobile applications using HTML5. You will need a server to back up your application and the users will run it through the device’s browser.
    • Native application using HTML5 and WebView. Using a server isn’t necessary. In this case you write HTML5 code (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and you use a WebView to display it. You can interact with Java using a special interface.
    • PhoneGap makes the above case easier. You don’t need to know the details of WebView. You need PhoneGap APIs to interact with the phone’s resources. As an added bonus you can easily port the application to other platforms. PhoneGap also creates native applications.
