Toura Mulberry - Hackdot

Re:Toura Mulberry by CWIZO on Thursday November 03, 2011 @11:46AM (#3192282)

I'm new to this kind of things. So how does this work? Does the result consist of a app that "only" has a embedded HTML renderer and it loads your HTML/JS/CSS files in there, or do they somehow translate your HTML stuff into whatever the native language for the chosen platform is (obj-c,java,...)?

Also I noticed they link to PhoneGap on this page, how are this two products related?

Basically, Toura Mulberry uses PhoneGap as a wrapper around a "single-page" application that's powered by the Mulberry JavaScript/HTML/CSS framework. The command-line tools in Mulberry help you quickly scaffold the structure, content, and customizations for your app. The "builder" portion of Mulberry takes your content, prepares it to be consumed by the JS/HTML/CSS framework, and places it inside a PhoneGap project template so that it can be "built" for testing and submission to app stores.

This is all explained in a bit more depth here: https://github.com/Toura/mulberry/wiki/An-Overview-of-the-Mu.... Hope this helps :)

Looks like it embeds a web view with your content. If you want to translate Javascript into native apps, Check out Titanium.

PhoneGap is the wrapper app - you don't have to use this toolkit with PhoneGap, you can use any HTML/CSS/JS you want. Most useful if you have a mobile site and want to add camera support.
