Offline HTML5 web app on Android

Question

I want to create an HTML5 web application. I read that in HTML5 you can use the new function "Offline web applications", With the file * .manifest

I read an article from November 2010 that this feature only works on the iOS platform.

Now it works on Android?

Answer 1

Yes. It works on both Android and iOS and most desktop browsers. You do not need PhoneGap if you do not want to access your own functions or deploy them in the application store.

UPDATE:

Check out this chapter from Jonathan Stark's book: Creating Android Applications Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Answer 2

In general, http://mobilehtml5.org/ provides good mobile phone compatibility tables to answer this and other similar questions.

Answer 3

Yes maybe. Here is an example for a standalone game:

The only thing that sucks is that iOS automatically creates a good icon. However, the android does not. In addition, I noticed that in random versions of the android, it displays a pop-up error message due to the fact that it cannot connect to the Internet, but it still works after that.
