This 5-year-old topic is outdated. 

PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build services were discontinued in October 2020.

 

Dreamweaver is a minimally maintained code editor for working with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

 

iOS app developers use Apple's Xcode.

Android app developers use Google's Android Studio.

Cross-platform developers use Zoho Creative, Flutter, React Native or cloud-based Appery.io.

I have an app idea, isn't there a way to create the structure, test out my idea and how it can be interactive within an app.  How can I test my ideas with simple standard functions without coding? I'm moderate in computer and software, I just want to drop ideas in a template for now and test the app.

The 2 things are not mutually exclusive.  Basic coding skills in HTML, CSS and JavaScript are essential for building both websites and apps.  Read the chapters, work with code examples, take quizzes at the end.

 

Compile your app for various devices with PhoneGap Build

Hey Nancy,

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

 

Can i trouble you a little more...

 

What i am looking for is shown in this tutorial link.. the only issue is , is that this tutorial is for website. Can you point or advise me of a similar easy to follow tutorial to solely create a mobile app.

Defining the local folder is a critical first step for any new project, whether it's a website, an HTML e-mail or a mobile/web app.  You want to keep project assets organized in one folder on your primary hard drive.

 

See screenshots.

 

After defining the local folder, DW displays contents in your Files Panel (F8).

 

Happy coding!
