How to Create&Develop a Phonegap HelloWorld Project

1. Install PhoneGap. You need NodeJs package manager installed.
   
   

   npm install -g cordova

2. Create  a project named "HelloWorld" inside "phonegap-example" directory. Use "com.example.hello" root package.
   
   

   phonegap create phonegap-example --id com.example.hello --name HelloWorld

3. Add android support
   
   

   
   cd phonegap-example
   
   
   cordova platform add android

   
   
4. Build the project
   
   

   cordova build

   
   
5. Run the project. You need Android Development SDK installed.
   
   

   cd ./platform/android/cordova
   
   ./run
