PhoneGap Bookshelf app
app for displaying different products on a bookshelf
app for displaying different products on a bookshelf
This is a iOS and Android PhoneGap application that i have been working on for mobile delivery of ebooks. The application is fairly simple with a main interface that sets products out on a bookshelf similar to iBooks.
Clicking on a cover image will load a dynamically generated detail page for the book. The detail page allows the user to download the book if it is not already on the device, or open and read the book if previously downloaded. When choosing to read the book, the app presents the user with a list of apps to choose from.
The application was built with PhoneGap, jQuery, jQuery Mobile, and xml. An xml file database determines what products are displayed on the shelf. Because the app was developed with PhoneGap, it is easily portable across different platforms using the same core JavaScript files; thus reducing the cost and time to develop the same app for multiple devices.
