I am installing Flurry into a Phonegap application so that I might collect better in app analytics. I've seen numerous cordova plugins allowing you to use Flurry's iPhone and Android SDKs with Phonegap
e.g. https://github.com/jfpsf/flurry-phonegap-plugin
However Flurry has released a Mobile Web SDK. I assume the Mobile Web SDK is easier to integrate with a phonegap application, however I'm concerned that it is not as full featured or ill suited for working with phonegap. Can anyone comment on which SDK should be used in this situation? Many thanks.
Posing the question to Flurry's support team I received the following reply:
"The Mobile Web SDK tracks devices on the basis of cookies. The native SDK's track it on the basis of device id.
Apart from that, the mobile web SDK doesn't provide metrics like carrier, device and OS metrics. The native SDK provides those.
Crash reporting is not supported on the Mobile Web SDK. The native iOS and Android SDK's provide that."
Ergo, the SDKs are not created equally. One should use the native SDKs whenever they have the opportunity.

We are developing a mobile game with app-engine as our backend.
We now want to add realtime messaging from our server to our clients. (IOS & android)
Note: We are not talking about push notifications.
Has anyone out there implemented realtime mobile apps and has any recommendations for us.
The Channel API is said not to be for mobile apps.
Google Cloud pub/sub is also said not to be for mobile apps.
Google Cloud Messaging may be an option but I got the feeling it's not right either.
We have looked at solutions like pubnub.com (which looks great) but it may be a bit too pricy since we hope for a huge success :-)
So our wish list is:
Deliver messages from app engine to mobile devices in realtime.
As cheap as possible since we hope for +50K daily users
IOS & Android API's or even better a Unity API.
Thanks in advance!

I am thinking develop a web portal with a desktop. This portal will be used in mobile phones and as one of its requirements is to work offline and when you are online, synchronize data, I think it must be a native version for Android and iOS. What is the framework that advise to develop one application and generate an Android application and other iOS?
The idea is to try to enjoy the same logic of development for desktop and mobile. I have experience with AngularJS but do not know whether it will help in the mobile.
I want to create a new app from the beginning in eclipse using java.
I have android sdk, Google app engine, maven with my eclipse.
Then how I start?
Google quick start tutorial is little bit clumsy.
I just want to make a timeline card and want to pass value "Hello World".
Then want to view from my Google glass.
Update: GDK Preview 11/19/13
https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/gdk/index
And Finally: here is how to hello world in Glass..
Create a basic hello world apk.
Install the apk on glass by following this link.
The official GoogleGlassDevelopment kit is not yet available for all developers. But developers are developing in the following ways:
Google Mirror Api:
Can be developed using java, .net, php, ruby, python and google go. The developers can access the mirror API, and google servers will talk to the Glass.
This way, we cannot access the hardware features of the Glass. Mirror API is mainly to website kind of info.
Android SDK:
Developers can develop with android sdk version 15.(ICS) and run the app directly using the same tools(eclipse/ android studio). link
The hardware available:
All the above hardware can be used with the same api available in ICS and above, Except touchpad and the transparent display. For those API, we must wait till GDK releases.
I working on creating mobile app for Android, and because of some useful features of Adobe AIR such as easy to use video support, P2P etc., I have using it.
I need to integrate my app with mobile ads from Airpush (http://www.airpush.com), but documentation says: "Is there an Adobe AIR version of the Airpush SDK ?
Unfortunately no."
Is that true? Can I add Airpush SDK support via Native Extensions (ANE)? Any suggestions?
Which browsers are supported in phone gap & which databases are supported by phone gap ?
Straight from Phonegap website -
PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to author native
applications with web technologies and get access to APIs and app
stores.
What this means is it is not browser dependent. The code compiles to native application. You don't need a browser to run it.
