Titanium Mobile: A WebKit-Based Approach to Android Development
Sayed Y. Hashimi, Satya Komatineni, Dave MacLean · Apress eBooks · 2010
In this chapter, we are going to introduce a novel yet complementary approach to programming applications on the Android platform, inspired by the trend that began with RIA (Rich Internet Applications). Some of the key features of RIA are the ability to drag and drop, provide animation, and talk to servers without refreshing through HTML browsers. Although these activities have been traditionally accomplished through plugins such as Flash, recent advances in RIA accomplish them by taking advantage of the HTML DOM (Document Object Model). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
