Using Eclipse with Phonegap for VS projects – Solution

Let’s assume that we’ve installed all the needed software as described in :

http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494774/Getting%20started%20with%20Android%20PhoneGap%20in%20Eclipse

Now we open the Eclipse :

File –> New –> Android Project

now will add the project definitions

When you choose Android 2.2 automatically Min SDK Version defined as 8

Package should be with two parts – package name and project name

Next –> Finish

Open new folders libs and assets\www

Go to phonegap source and get the phonegap.0.9.6 jar and js files.

jar goes to libs

js goes to assets\www

Now we’ll add the phonegap library to the project so:

Right click on jar file –> build path –> add to build path

Afterwards you can see the referenced library added to the solution :

Now we can reference it in code .

Go to src –> Pack.MyTest –> MyTestActivity.java –>

Add import and change extending :

Original Source:

package Pack.MyTest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MyTestActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Changed adding phonegap and extending from Droid and add the start page :

package Pack.MyTest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.*;
import com.phonegap.*;

public class MyTestActivity extends DroidGap {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ///add the start page
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Add to assets\www index.html start page as promissed :
