Preface

Instant PhoneGap Social App Development shows you how to create compelling mobile apps that integrate with social media based on PhoneGap/Cordova. This book will show you how to consume Twitter feeds and also how to share content to Twitter using Twitter Web Intents.

What this book covers

What do we build? introduces us to the app that we will be building in this book using Twitter streams and Twitter Web Intents.

Creating the project focuses on preparing the project by downloading all the necessary components and creating the appropriate directory structure.

Designing the UI/interaction describes how we can design our user interface and also covers the interaction between the various widgets and views.

Designing the data model covers the task where we design our data model for handling Twitter users and streams.

Implementing the data model describes the implementation of our data model and creation of five Twitter accounts that we will use. We will also be introduced to the loadJSON method in PKUTIL and the Twitter API.

Configuring the ChildBrowser plugin covers the installation and configuration of the ChildBrowser plugin.

Implementing the start view describes the creation of our first view in our app, the start view. It outlines the basic view as well as helps us explore with the complementary functions of the view.

Implementing the social view explains the creation of the social view where we will display our Twitter stream. We also explore how we can use the Twitter stream data to construct a Twitter stream that the end user can interact with.

Implementing the tweet view introduces the last view, the tweet view, where the user interacts with a given tweet. We also see how this view gives the user the opportunity to share the tweet via Twitter Web Intents.

Putting it all together outlines the creation of theapp.js file and two HTML files under the www directory to get a fully functional app on our hands so that we can load the app and start it off.

What you need for this book

The example application in this book is based on PhoneGap/Cordova 2.2. If you download a more recent version, be sure to replace the
