Question

In what situations should a developer use HTML5 in android.

I'm a little confused when to use HTML5 in android. I need to develop an application, such as a report viewer from a web server. In this case, I also need to use some specific Android functions, such as service, settings, receivers, diagrams (using a third-party library).

So I'm a little confused about what good situations for HTML are in Android apps ...

Please help me with your suggestions or give me the best article about it ...

Answer 2

Android today supports many options for using different browsers: Android browser based on WebKit, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Firefox, UCWeb, Google Chrome browser for Android.

The default Android browser has some problems with HTML5 . And Chrome for Android is designed to solve it. It has almost completely the latest support for HTML5: such as new elements, H.264 video and WebM support tags and sound, geolocation, hardware canvas acceleration (2D-drawing) and all CSS3 materials such as selector, effects, media queries , transformations, transitions and animations, ect.

But so far it is not very popular, because this new browser is not yet available for versions of Android 2.x and 3.x, just for 4.x.
