Android Apps for Phones/Tablets  
 
Appception fully supports designing and building HTML5 hybrid apps for Android phones and tablets.
Apps are written in HTML5 (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), then packaged for Google Play or other app stores.
For more information, see Android Features.
 
Design
Android app design is structurally similar to HTML5 web application design: page structure is provided by HTML5, presentation by CSS3, and program logic with JavaScript. But there are some important differences: mobile UI design is optimized for smaller screens with touch gestures, single-page designs are common, and mobile apps are capable of accessing device sensors and native functions (see Android Features).
HTML5 code can be shared across platforms, although there may be some platform customizations for stylistic reasons. Graphic assets of the app (e.g. icons), however, are unique for Android. The Android Developer site contains more details regarding app content.
 
Development Testing and Distribution
Apps are automatically packaged for Development test using a (system-generated) Debug signing certificate.
Android apps can be distibuted wirelessly by URL or QR code that appears on the app build page. ABug can also be used in development to automate 'edit-test' cycles.
 
App Stores
Once you are ready to publish your Android app to Google Play or other Android app stores, simply re-build with your Release signing certificate.
