PhoneGap (now known as Apache Cordova) is an open source framework that leverages Web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to access native (system and third-party) functionality across platforms.
SAP Mobile Platform comes with the Cordova libraries, which handle common tasks supported by most devices, linked in and ready to use. Integrating PhoneGap plug-ins with Hybrid Web Containers allows you to extend the set of APIs available within a Hybrid App. See www.phonegap.com for information about the supported PhoneGap APIs.
PhoneGap API calls are made from the Hybrid App JavaScript files.
