The Story
Note: Click on the images for larger preview!
- Native mobile development with HTML5 and CSS - Thanks to Apache Cordova, previously known as PhoneGap, it is possible to deploy your app build in regular HTML5 and CSS as a mobile app to all of the major mobile platforms like iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry 10, Amazon Fire OS, Firefox OS and more!
- Build native mobile apps right from within Dreamweaver - No need for complicated installations and command line wizardry. Now you can run all the needed commands right from the dedicated floating panel and see the desired output. Run, build or emulate is a single click away!
- Quickly define a Cordova site for your project - The process is pretty simple as you only need to select a folder for your project, enter a title, an ID, and the DMXzone Cordova Builder will do the rest for you.
- Edit Cordova site configuration - With a single click you can edit your title, ID and description for your Cordova site.
- Support for all major mobile platforms - DMXzone Cordova Builder automatically queries the supported platforms and allows you to install the needed components! This way you can concentrate on your app and not on the building tools – they just work!
- Automatic system requirements checks and component installation - Do you have all the required components, SDK’s and building tools installed? DMXzone Cordova Builder checks for that before allowing you to install a specific platform, informs you which components are missing and installs them for you or provides you with clear instructions and links how to download and install those yourself. This way your computer is directly ready for cross platform mobile development!
- List and choose available emulators for the selected platform- You can choose between many emulators with different screen sizes. Each emulator can be selected from the target to run on list.
- List and choose from the connected devices to run your app on - Open your app directly in the desired platform emulator, or run it on the connected device. From the handy toolbar you can choose directly to build a project and run it on a specific emulator or on your connected device!
- Maintain your project in the platform native development studios - Once you choose to install the desired platform to work on, you can easily open the generated project in the platform dedicated development tool, like Xcode for iOS, Visual Studio for Windows and Windows Phone or Android Studio for Android. From there you can do more things like publishing to their native app stores.
- Android Studio for Android
- Xcode for iOS
- Visual Studio for Windows
- Firefox WebIDE for FirefoxOS
- Easy access to the platform guide - If you need additional information about the platform you're developing for, with a simple mouse click you'll be redirected to the platform page.
