跨平台移动工具：什么时候有用？

Question

Question: When can I say cross platform tools can handle this type of development..?

Below are NOT questions to answer. These are just guides why I raise the question to avoid too long description.

1. For game development :

   • Are tools (ie phoneGap, widgetPad etc...) alike (given these terms...openGL, xna, 2d, 3d and others..) sufficient enough for game development?

2. For Applications development :

   • Like in native android, can the cross platform tools would still be able to do the same as native java does? ie Accessing notifications, contacts etc..

Answer 1

I would say at the current time, it is not ready for 1 and will really not be anytime soon (without undo trouble to the developer that in the end is a setback).

As for 2 , it can and is ready for your question immediately. Sure, you have to still call the native Java or Obj-C for some truly native features, but this can all be done from within the Javascript/HTML interacting into the Java domain. This, they call plugins, and albeit a nightmare to upgrade at some times(pre 1.9.0, but anything developed after 2.0.0 won't have those issues to deal with (mostly))
