I've been looking at this for the past hour and can't find a direct answer. Does this build into a website and anyone who can access a browser have access to it and that's it?
I was curious if it can build for mobile devices like Apple, Android, Windows Phones and also have a web page for it. Pretty much looking for an engine that can build for web/pc + android, apple, windows phones, kindle etc .
Any advice is greatly appreciated, sorry for the newbie question. Thank you in advance.
You can use it to build anything that are served from an URL (e.g. http://example.com/something).
That includes web pages, the "backend" for any application that GET/POST something to an http:// - which means any mobile Apps. And anything else you can imagine that make use of http:// to communicate between a client and a server
And a very important requirement, you need to have some programming knowledge in order to use this. Otherwise you should be looking for more general web hosting service.

I'm working on an AngularJS mobile web app and am getting ready to deploy to Firebase Hosting. Does anyone know how to ensure that only devices can install the web app and prevent desktop browsers from viewing? I'm trying to protect the client's intellectual property as well as my own by making a reasonable attempt to disallow the source code from being read. Thank you!!
It's not possible to prevent the reverse engineering of any web application.
Developing a mobile application using native code may make you feel more secure about the intellectual property, however once a would be attacker gets the software on to their own hardware they will have the opportunity to defeat your software.
I wound up using ng-device-detector to determine whether the user was using a mobile device or not, and delivering a different template page depending. This library contains an isMobile() function that works great.
I'm in the process of making an app for my assessment at uni using cordova/phonegap and was just wondering if its possible for me to use data from a my unis ecom website for my app without having any back-end access to it, so like images/prices/descriptions...synced to my app?
yes it is certainly possible, because Cordova means working via Javascript and a HTML5 Rendering Engine. It is with some reservations entirely possible to load data from an webserver and use it in an App.
The only thing is to ask, whether it is also a smart-choice. If you want your app not to break when the data from the website gets changed (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot )
Also the server can somewhat prevent access of data from contextes outside of the webpage, especially if TSL/HTTPS connection is offered and content is only available after authentication.
Yet anyway its the magic of Javascript to be very good in doing things with web/online resources and displaying HTML5. Cordova and PHonegap is hence imo much better than the very challenging JAVA-Dalvik and IOs native programming that one would have to use else
Likely not,
Google and Apple frowns on using apps as wrappers for websites.

Is it possible to port a web scraper/web crawler over to a mobile device such as a smart phone? If so, how would I do it?
I feel like this is a loaded question... of course it is possible, but why would you want to?
If so, how would I do it?
Well, you would take an existing web crawler and port it. As a matter of fact, you might not have to do much porting: if you take a crawler like Nutch, it's already written in Java, it's available to download as a package so you can just drop it in your android phone, get root access and run the crawler. But again: why would you want to do it?
Whatever your goal is, I would think that putting a web crawler on a smart phone would be an overkill. So what's your goal?
Please help me with one thing: I need to be able to forward a bada device to a certain application store page. This page should let the device to install the application using its native installation method, just like Android market or iTunes.
Granted that I know the link to my application on the web, where do I get the link to forward the device to?
I've tried to use the simulator's WebViewer application on the Samsung Apps site, but it can't even find the application that I want to link to.
please take a look at the links below.
using the namespace Osp::Commerce::Store, you can call the Samsung Apps within the app and encourage users to install apps via Samsung Apps. Hope it works for you.

I want to implement "mobile website provider" tool. Basically, It intake desktop website url and generate a mobile version of website without edit/add additional content to the desktop website. I am planning to design a product like (what mofuse.com does. This website create mobile websites). This tool should be hassle free to client(who are not tech savvy.)
1.Q) I want to know kind of functionality involved in this process.
2.Q) In Java Technology, I need the tool set and functionality of this actitity.
As I am new to this mobile application environment. Any information(web links) regarding this will be appreciated.
Update:
its not like skweezer.com.
I had a website and I want to "mobile"ize it. 1) What kind of java tool set I have to use to create mobile web site? 2) How to test in multiple mobile devices 3) How the domain name will be created for mobile websites.
Check out our Wapple Architect tech (http://wapple.net) - we allow you to use the same content from web to mobile, but if it's mobile, instead of outputting the html, use a web service to turn it into the right content for that particular handset.
Mobilizes the same domain, no need for m.yourdomain.com or anything like that.
Check http://wapple.net on a mobile for example!
there are certain plugins which mobilise your website .
they check user agent and if user agent is of mobile browser they load another css of mobile and if you want to redirect some another redirect it ther.
you dont have to buy separate domain make sub domain or cname like
m.yourdomain.ccom
wap.yaourdomain.com
try some javacripts code which detect browser type and redirect accordingly.
