What is the performance trade off of using PhoneGap for developing an application that uses the users maps and gps throughout almost the entire application? The app needs to figure out what is nearby, pick up locations for posts, and embed maps into screens.
Probably unrelated, but the app will also need to use the phone’s camera as a key feature.
Thoughts?
Phonegap uses the same native APIs, it just abstracts them so that you can write your application in
htmlandjavascript.PhoneGap’s plugins documentation states that all “heavy lifting” should be done on the native side since
Javascriptis still quite a bit slower while running in the native browser.It’s safe to assume that the PhoneGap solution is going to take longer given that the
Javascriptmust trigger the native function, wait for the callback, and then build the list inhtml.I have some useful links for you..
