Hi Sir/ Mam,

We are building up a HTML 5 Application and are evaluating Angular JS
for same. i want to check whether Angular JS is supported in Tablets
and whether it captures touch gestures. I searched on google and one
person mentioned that we may have to use Hammer JS along with Angular
to have touch capabilities.

Please let us know whether Angular JS is supported in Tablets.

Thanks
Hitender

Angular is only JavaScript. You Wd need something like hammer and there are a couple of projects connectingjquery mobile and SenchaTouch with angular

Yes, it does work - I've used it for mobile apps before and it works great.

Check out the jQuery Mobile angular adapter if you're using jquery mobile - https://github.com/tigbro/jquery-mobile-angular-adapter

I'm developing apps for iPad and Android tablets, and Angular works fine on both. I have had no need of special touch gestures, the standard ng-click event works fine for a single touch. If the patterns and styling provided by JQMobile or Sencha happen to suit your app, there are Angular connectors, although I haven't tried either - it's quite possible to build a mobile friendly look and navigation layout using just Angular, some CSS, and the excellent iScroll4 library by cubiq for touch-based, hardware-accelerated scrolling and carousel effects.

Regards
Tim

The biggest issue at this point with using angular on mobile, IMO, is the lack of transitions.  People on phone and tablets expect nice animations between pages of their apps and this is not quite there with Angular yet.  The JQuery Mobile adaptor does support this, though.  I haven't looked at the Sencha adaptor but I expect this may well support it too.

I have experimented with the Sencha adapter and it's quite slick.  jQmobi is a nice framework too which has performance increases over both jquery mobile and sencha, however I haven't used it in conjunction with AngularJS yet.

Hi there,

i've used jqMobi, iUi and jqueryMobile (with adapter) together with Angular (and SenchaTouch without Angular).
Often these frameworks do too much, sometimes too little. 
At the moment i work on an approach without these huge frameworks, to get back the control. 
You can find my experiemental project at https://github.com/Jehu/ng-mobile (far from perfect, but i work on a first serious mobile app that will be based on ng-mobile)

Perhaps i find the time to do better better documentation here: http://jehu.github.com/ng-mobile/ but it's a little demo.

It's not a magic thing, it's a combination of some great OpenSource solutions.

Regards
Jehu
