Question

Is there anyway to write android applications in PHP?

This page clearly mentions that Android apps should be written in Java. Just wondering if there is another way

Answer 1

No, you can't. However, if you're so inclined, you could make a web app that checks for the Android browser and only displays on the Andriod. That would make an internet connection required though.

I haven't used the Android myself, but maybe it has Gears support like Chrome does. If so, then you can integrate Gears into the app and have them download it onto their Android.
