Once this is done you’ll be able to use NPM from within Komodo, which is our next step. Unfortunately, we don’t facilitate this process through Komodo (yet), so please (). So if you don’t already have Komodo installed, head over to the “Try” section up above and () and install Komodo IDE.įor the next step you’ll need to have Node.js and NPM installed, which Cordova depends on. We’ll install each dependency as part of this guide.įirst things first, you’ll need to have Komodo IDE X installed and running (Komodo Edit does not have the integration we need). This may seem a little overwhelming at first, but rest assured you’ll only have to do this once. To work with Cordova and Android we’ll need a few dependencies installed, namely: The step-by-step instructions are split up into two parts: the first is installing the dependencies and the second is creating and running your app. Note that there are a lot of moving parts to getting everything set up and running at first, this guide should cover most of them, but it is possible that you will need to do a bit of research and interpretation of your own, so be prepared for that. Given the overwhelming popularity Cordova has garnered I used that one when creating my app.Īll that said, I thought I’d give you a little rundown of what it would take for you to start your first Cordova Android project in Komodo.

In fact from our research we’ve found that many enterprises choose to use Cordova instead of PhoneGap. PhoneGap and Cordova use the same underlying technology, but PhoneGap is targeted at the enterprise (and has additional features for this user group) and Cordova is Open Source and targeted at anyone else. Essentially, these technologies let you write mobile applications using web technologies.

In case you’re not familiar with PhoneGap and Cordova, I’ll give you a quick primer. Although I’m not a mobile app developer, given the new functionality in Komodo I thought it would be fun to write my *first* Android App. We’ve been seeing more of our users getting into mobile app development, so we added PhoneGap and Cordova integration in the Komodo X release.
