Important Concepts Of Hybrid Mobile Application Development
Hybrid
mobile application development is the
combination of two essential technologies named as web
development technology and native
mobile application development
technology.
Native programming language is used to form these hybrid
applications such as Java or Objective
C and web technologies like JavaScript, CSS and HTML5.
Hybrid
application is a thin native container
whose front-end part is absolutely native. Any of the mobile
application programming languages can be used in order to develop it.
For different platforms, different containers are required to be
built by mobile developers. For example, iOS with IPA extension,
Android supports native apps with apk extension, and windows phone
with xap extension.
All these are the formats of executable files that can be downloaded
from any of the app stores of Android, iOS,and windows phone.
The
remaining part is developed by using web technologies, which is a web
application. This part also depends upon the concept of
write-once-run-anywhere. According to this concept, it will support
all mobile devices irrespective of their operating systems. Internet
can be used to access the web part of a hybrid app, but it cannot be
possible without the help of a web browser. A hybrid application
makes the usage of a web view control in order to present HTML and
JavaScript files.
With the
help of this hybrid mobile application, other native features of a
device are also accessible like camera, contacts, offline storage,
notification and geo-location. Not only this, other features of a
touchscreen display are also supported by it.
Hybrid
applications can also be distributed through app stores similar to
web applications like App store (iOS), Google Play, etc. Large number
of investors and app inventors are using hybrid technologies to build
mobile application. It has been predicted that by 2016, around 50% of
mobile applications will be using hybrid technology.
