Set webapp on iPhone and Android

Question

I want to replicate the functionality that shows on map.google.com or m.grooveshark.com for example that when you access the web app on the default browser it asks you as a user if you want to set this webapp on your "desktop". ¿How do I do that on both platform?.

Answer 1

I'd suggest you try the Mobile Bookmark Bubble javascript library.

The Mobile Bookmark Bubble is a JavaScript library that adds a promo bubble to the bottom of your mobile web application, inviting users to bookmark the app to their device's home screen.

There are two new versions of implementation, one supports Mobile Safari only, while the other supports Mobile Safari, Android, Blackberry touch smartphones and Playbook.
