Sencha Touch is a good Javascript framework to create mobile applications. It supports all phones the utilize the webkit for their browser.

It can be wrapped in phonegap to utilize the phone specific API's. Sencha is now creating their own wrapping system to submit apps to the appstores.

While your question can easily be answered by a simple search of "android html5 framework", there is PhoneGap.

This link was the first to show up.

Solution 3

If you want to embed your html inside an android application, you can use the webview widget for android.

Now, talking about how to do your webview itselft. I would recommend to use a mobile framework to build a good looking and accessible application without too much difficulty. I have worked with Jquery Mobile, and I would say it is a good way to start.

Solution 4

Use Apache Cordova http://cordova.apache.org/ as the container for displaying HTML 5 pages. Use Twitter Bootstrap for creating responsive web pages which automatically resize components based on the size/type of the screen on which the app is being viewed.

@RameshSolanki You can't really say that one is the best overall I think; you should find one that you like. I just told you that I like particularly Jquery Mobile.

I have only worked with Sencha Touch but its very mature framework. It also has a very active community to provide help. Its also backed by sencha company so there is active development for it. Jquery mobile came later to the scene.
