Android SDK vs HTML5: What are the differences?

The Android SDK provides resources for building native Android applications using Java or Kotlin. While HTML5 is a web technology that allows the creation of dynamic and interactive content for web browsers using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here are the key differences between Android SDK and HTML5:

  1. Platform and Compatibility: Android SDK is a software development kit specifically designed for developing native Android applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and APIs to build applications that are tightly integrated with the Android operating system. On the other hand, HTML5 is a web-based technology that is platform-independent and can run on various devices and operating systems. It allows developers to create web applications and websites that can be accessed through any modern web browser, making them compatible across multiple platforms.

  2. Development Approach: Android SDK focuses on native application development, which involves writing code in programming languages like Java or Kotlin. This approach allows developers to have deep access to device features and capabilities, providing high performance and a rich user experience. HTML5, on the other hand, is primarily used for web development for creating web pages and applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which are interpreted by the browser.

  3. App Distribution: Android SDK allows developers to distribute their applications through the Google Play Store, where users can discover, download, and install the apps on their Android devices. This provides a centralized platform for app distribution and updates. In contrast, HTML5 applications are typically distributed through the web. Users can access the applications by simply visiting a website, eliminating the need for installation from an app store.

  4. Access to Device Features: Android SDK offers extensive access to device features and APIs, allowing developers to build apps that can interact with various hardware components like a camera, GPS, and more to create highly functional and feature-rich applications. HTML5, being a web-based technology, relies on browser APIs to interact with certain capabilities, such as geolocation or camera access. Although HTML5 has made progress in accessing device features, it may not offer the same level of control and functionality as the Android SDK.

In summary, Android SDK is geared towards native Android application development, offering deep integration with the Android platform and extensive access to device features. HTML5, on the other hand, is a web-based technology used for developing cross-platform web applications that can run on various devices and browsers.

We actually initially wrote a lot of networking code in Kotlin but the complexities involved prompted us to try and compile NodeJS for Android and port over all the networking logic to Node and communicate with node over the Java Native Interface.

This turned out to be a great decision considering our battery usage fell by 40% and rate of development increased by a factor of 2.

7 Awesome CSS3 Techniques You Should give a Try

  1. Vertically Align With Flexbox Earlier developers used to face a lot of difficulties aligning a text or any other element vertically center. But now, after the introduction of the new CSS3 specification Flexbox, things have become much easier.

  2. Responsive CSS Grid Do not make your grid an exception make it responsive too, like everything else in your design.

There are so many ways through which you can make your grid responsive with CSS Grid. And the best part of using it is, you will be able to create a more flexible grid that gives you the desired look, no matter what the device size is.

  1. Text Animations You might have created background animations with CSS, but now it also influences how users interact and engage with the text elements of a website. From hover adjustments to making words float in the air, CCS3 has made it all possible.

  2. Columns layout Usually, column-based layouts are created by using Javascript, which is quite complicated and time-consuming. But CSS has brought a way around to ease up the task of developers and web designers.

  3. Screen Orientation Many people think that screen orientation and device orientation both work for the same purpose. But that’s not the case. The orientation of the screen is a bit different from the device.

Even if a device is not capable of detecting its orientation, a screen always can. And if the device is capable also, then it’s good to have control over the screen orientation so that you can maintain or change the interface of your website.

  1. Comma Separated Lists There is no doubt that Bullet lists are very commonly used in writing to convey any information more precisely and clearly. But one thing that most people struggle with is to add commas on every point of the lists.

  2. Animated Checkbox Well, most of the people are very much aware of the CSS background and text animations. But, not many know about checkbox animations.

Yes, apart from background and texts, you can also make your checkbox section look visually appealing. Isn’t it great?

This post is a bit of an obvious one, as we have a web application, we obviously need to have HTML and CSS in our stack. Though specifically though, we can talk a bit about backward compatibility and the specific approaches we want to enforce in our codebase.

HTML : Not much explanation here, you have to interact with HTML for a web app. We will stick to the latest standard: HTML 5.

CSS: Again if we want to style any of our components within he web, we have to use to style it. Though we will be taking advantage of JSS in our code base and try to minimize the # of CSS stylesheets and include all our styling within the components themselves. This leaves the codebase much cleaner and makes it easier to find styles!

Babel: We understand that not every browser is able to support the cool new features of the latest node/JS features (such as redue, filter, etc) seen in ES6. We will make sure to have the correct Babel configuration o make our application backward compatible.

Material UI (MUI): We need to make our user interface as intuitive and pretty as possible within his MVP, and the UI framework used by Google will provide us with exactly that. MUI provides pretty much all the UI components you would need and allows heavy customization as well. Its vast # of demos will allow us to add components quickly and not get too hung up on making UI components.

We will be using the latest version of create-react-app which bundles most of the above along many necessary frameworks (e.g. Jest for testing) to get started quickly.

Websocket is trending this year, but there is another technology similar with Websocket (WS) is Server Sent Event (SSE). Those method have used similar Content-type, SSE is used to text/event-stream and WS is used to binary or text/octet-stream.

The different both of those method is sent. WS is an undirectional sending data both of client and server and SSE is whatever data on server will be push to client.

    What is Android SDK?

    Android provides a rich application framework that allows you to build innovative apps and games for mobile devices in a Java language environment.

    What is HTML5?

    HTML5 is a core technology markup language of the Internet used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. As of October 2014 this is the final and complete fifth revision of the HTML standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The previous version, HTML 4, was standardised in 1997.
