Phonegap and Jquery Mobile

[silas ribeiro]

I wonder if it is advisable to use jquery mobile with phonegap, because I think it's a bit slow, and if you have some tips to improve performance?

Eu gostaria de saber, se é aconselhavel usar jquery mobile com phonegap, pois acho ele um pouco lento, e se tem algumas dicas para melhorar a desempenho?

I always advise against using jQuery Mobile for PhoneGap apps.

There are other UI frameworks if you HAVE to go that way, but the best way is to build your app with html/css/js of your own.

[Loiane Groner]

There are other frameworks you can take a look at such as Sencha Touch and Kendo UI. But again, you need to know how to use these frameworks really well, otherwise you app can be slow as well.

Tem outros frameworks que você pode olhar como o Sencha Touch (meu preferido e é gratuito) e Kendo UI (pago). Como já mencionaram, a não ser que vc saiba usar esses frameworks muito bem, sua app também pode ficar lenta.

I have built two apps with PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile - one major problem i have found is that 

    jQuery Mobile is architecturally incompatible with the javascript from Google Adsense

i think* it is NOT possible to monetize your jQuery Mobile app with Google Adsense - big disappointment for me.  

https://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-mobile-phonegap-google-adsense 

several links on Stack Overflow and other forums will show how to get Google Adsense to work with jQuery Mobile - but all of those hacks seem to violate Google Adsense's terms & conditions - many people have commented that Google shut down their ad account.

i thought that ads would be simple - every time a user visits a different page in my app, i would like to serve a new Google Adsense ad.

as of june 22 2013, i haven't found a legal way to accomplish this with jQuery Mobile and Google Adsense... 

i'm posting this info in several forums, hoping that this situation is recognized and fixed.   also, i hope that i'm not spreading rumors - if somebody has a solution please speak up.

Jquery mobile and adsense incompatibilities shouldn't matter as adsense is forbidden on mobile apps, you should use admob instead

[Norbert Ryan]

https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/68724?hl=en

"If you're looking to monetize a mobile site designed for users of iPhone, Android, or other high-end devices with browsers capable of executing Javascript, simply use any standard AdSense for content ad unit that fits your mobile-optimized site."

[jcesarmobile]

Mobile site, not mobile app, phonegap is for mobile apps, and this is phonegap group, so we are talking about mobile apps

from https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/68724?hl=en

The use of AdSense for mobile in a mobile application is a violation of AdSense policies. A mobile application constitutes any downloadable application, even if a WebView is used to display the ad. Any AdSense for mobile ad units found in mobile applications will be disabled. If you’re looking for an advertising solution for your mobile application, please sign up for AdMob, Google’s leading mobile advertising display product.

ok - good point.  but isn't google admob an sdk - is it possible to integrate Admob's sdk with Phonegap??

i've used Phonegap/jQueryMobile to create two apps - and i use Phonegap Build to deploy to both iOS and Android.

i would like to serve a new ad on each of the pages.   the apps are html5, js, css. 

it's not clear to me which google ad offering to use....

[jcesarmobile]

I don't know if you can do it with phonegap build, but you can do it with phonegap on Android, for iOS you'll need a plugin, not sure if it exists, but there is an iAd plugin https://github.com/shazron/iAdPlugin

[Joram Teusink]

There is a workaround for that. If you want adds, then you can add the ad from the Java code to the bottom or the top (what you like). With some Googling you should find the solution.

But you are right considering the point you make: no addsense in JQM. Simply does not work.

I use it and it is fairly fast. It is running fluid on phones like Galaxy Nexus.

For a nice example, check my blog: http://teusink.blogspot.nl/2013/04/android-example-app-with-phonegap-and.html

thanks for the suggestions joram  -- here's a brief summary (covers last 2 years of dev) of where i'm at....

version 1 of my app was native iOS app.  then i realized android was gaining big marketshare so i looked around for a cross platform solution.  i decided on phonegap and jquery mobile because they are cross-platform.   i don't have the people/resources to make native apps.  

we'll now i have two apps and version 2 is coded in phonegap and jquery mobile.  i thought that it would be easy to put a 320x50 pixel ad at the bottom of each "page" - one days work at most.  

it is not easy.  as of now, i don't know of any cross platform ad solutions.  legally i shouldn't use Google Adsense and the javascript for adsense isn't compatible with jquery mobile.  and Google Admob is a Java SDK - and therefore not cross platform.  since they are java based, i could prob make admob work on android and possibly blackberry but it wouldn't work on ios or windows mobile.  

in summary: i've now got two decent, cross-platform apps but no cross platform ad solution.

Admob have an iOS SDK
Admob on android, if I remember well, was just adding the .jar and a line of code or 2 (the banner ad)

[Joram Teusink]

Perhaps this can help?

But I guess it is a no go. Perhaps monetize by donation and extra features?

Hi, can you tell me how exactly do you set jQuery Mobile to work? I don't understand how to set.

Thanks

[Rjfun Mobile]

Using a mature admob plugin is a good option to show Ad.

There are quite a few options, just 1-2 line of javascript code, it's done.

https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro

See the example code.
