i just want to know that is it possible to run angularjs app on mobile directly means without using web browser??
I search google and it seems i can't but my client want to do that.
you could also use Ionic Framework (ionicframework.com) for this as it is heavily using Angular and encapsulating everything in real mobile apps that are capable of being deployed via App Stores (Play Store, iTunes, ...).
Best regards,

You can use Cordova Framework Which generates mobile application in android and ios also for that you can refer -https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/
Follow this documentation step and you get all files with proper structure in that you can write your application code.
Try angular bundler for cordova.
abc framework - https://github.com/thruthesky/abcframework which gives you a great convenient building mobile apps using Angular.
abc is Angular Bundler for Cordova which helps you building mobile apps with Angular.

This is not a programming question. If it is not appropriate to post it here, just advise me some place worth to share this.
What would be best to know in order to startup a project in Cordova. What i need to know is that in order to create a working web and android app what should i use?
So far
I use Cordova.
Ionic for GUI.
PHP and MySQL for back end
Angular JS for client side and controller for the app.
JSON
Do I have to use AJAX as well? if so, where would it fit?
"Do I have to use AJAX as well? if so, where would it fit?"
Yes, you should build a Single Page Application inside Cordova using any framework that you desire. Ionic/Angular is a valid choice here, other options include JQuery/Bootstrap, React JS, Framework7, OnsenUI and pretty much any combination of JS single page application framework and mobile focussed web front end framework that you like and can make work together.
For going beyond what the web view can do you'll use off the shelf plugins, or write your own which will need Java / Objective-C / C# or Swift skills depending on which platforms you're using.
As you want to be building a single page application you will need to make AJAX calls to get resources from servers, call APIs and the like. Do this using the mechanism built into your chosen framework, e.g. $http service with Angular, $.ajax for JQuery etc.
With angular you can use AngularJS $http

Assuming I have already built out my application's server-side backend in PHP 7/ Laravel and browser front end in Angular JS... what frameworks should I use when I then want to start developing iOS and Android native apps?
How can I avoid redundant code (DRY) on different frameworks when hooking new mobile apps into my already existing backend?
Most of the information that I find on this subject mentions implementing WebViews (HTML5/JS) in the native app. I also found Apache Cordova for "cross-platform development." https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/overview/
I've been using Ionic Framework for the past year and it has been pretty decent
http://ionicframework.com/
I'm currently learning Angular JS and plan on creating a website using RESTFul to communicate with the server (which will be in Node.js).
I would like to know how to proceed to "convert" this website into a mobile app.
I saw tools like Apache Cordova but I have no mobile developing experience so I don't really know how all of this works.
I saw other tools like Ionic and ngCordova (created by Ionic) but I don't get the point, Angular is just a JS script to insert in my HTML page right ?
So why would I need something like Ionic ? Isn't Apache Cordova enough ?
Ionic is a webframework that makes use of apache cordova in the back.
Cordova is used for mobile app programming in javascript and will compile your javascript code to native code for android, iOS, ...
AngularJS is used for making development of Single Page Web Applications more delightful by offering many nice code features for programming MVC apps.
Ionic now at the end, puts it all together by offering you user interface components that will look native on all mobile devices + the browser. And on top offers you angular js modules that make working with webapps easier (e.g. navigationHistory ...)
If you start new and want to create a nifty mobile application, I would start with ionic. It comes with a lot of css or sass that makes it feel / look native and of course you can change everything to your needs. To access phone features (e.g. location, camera ...) cordova steps in. I suggest doing this guide, that will take you through your first ionic app.
My target software architecture:
Backend-application (RESTful http API, responding JSON)
Play Framework (v2.3.8)
Frontend-application (requests the backend-application and renders the result)
AngularJS App
Yeoman scaffolded (angular-generator)
My question:
I want to host the angularjs inside the play application. How can I
achieve that?
(I don't want to create a second app and host it with grunt serve since this causes problems because of the 'same origin policy')
You could use Play Yeoman. Here is a small example application which shows a simple implementation.
I read comments and advice about Ionic framework being used mainly for Hybrid apps (via phonegap). What is the reason that it is not recommended for a web-app on mobile?
Inoic built as a hybrid mobile app platform, it's purpose is to wrap Cordova and it's device proxy abilities and implement it using angular and ui-router. The UI components are mobile suited and would not fit a large browser screen.
In order to achieve that in web development you can just use Angular + Angular UI + Bootstrap, plus you can create the data module to be loosely coupled from the ionic app and share it among both platforms
