[ale] anybody doing android development and how?

[Richard Bronosky]

My title at Cox Media Group is Mobile Architect. The question I always ask
in planning meetings is, "what features require native code?". Most of the
time I can accomplish everything they want, except for "being in the app
store" with an HTML5 web app. Sometimes they have a legit feature that
requires PhoneGap. Most of the time the only reason we need PhoneGap to get
in the app stores.

So, what does your app do? What feature do you need native code to
accomplish?
