Web App Guide

Dolphin’s PhoneGap API allows developers to build a HTML5 app optimized for Dolphin Browser.  For developers that build HTML5 apps, you can now publish your application not as a package, but as a thin-client web app for Dolphin users.

With the support of the PhoneGap Add-on, a thin-client approach, the user simply navigates to a web site that, like a conventional package, makes full use of local features such as camera, GPS, and accelerometer.  Dolphin does this by supporting the PhoneGap API in a simple Add-on for the Android version of the award-winning Dolphin browser. The PhoneGap Add-on lets JavaScript on a webpage access local device features.
