c++ - Web Developer curious about developing for the Android -


hey there, i've been heavily focused on design/development using web technology last few years (php/mysql, javascript, etc), , i'm bit hesitant start learning c++.. @ same time, see potentially enjoyable learning experience. keep things brief, right i'm developing online app plots out locations on map, , can sort through these locations , bunch of other nifty things..sorry vague. point is: don't see real advantages of making actual "app" when entire functionality of app can quite fine through modern mobile browser..

not mention that, living in browser, it's less proprietary so, question is: there way make simple app that's porting user site? guess it'd convenient app, user has nice little icon click on when need access it..

android development relies heavily on java. ready on right track.

however if want make app brings people website, running javascript guessing, easy android.

android supports webkit browser , has view group called webview. app can nothing more shortcut on desktop opens webview directly pointed website. add other options point other parts of website bookmarks.

webview webview = new webview(this); setcontentview(webview); weview.getsettings().setjavascriptenabled(true); webview.loadurl("yoursiteurlgoeshere); 

a lot of apps on market based around webview. there other classes allow more control on view, whether links opened in webview or in new browser, or whether user allowed use resize options, etc.

welcome android.
