How to link a web application in an Android and iOS app? [closed]

  • 772

I have knowledge in design and web development but, already in applications for mobile devices, I don't know their language, although nothing difficult for sure given that it is easy to adapt to any language knowing other programming languages.

But in order not to start so deep in design in applications Androidand iOSour design or web applications are 100% adaptable to any mobile device, we use fewer resources to make a light website, with optimization and loading speed.

How can I make a web page become an app Android and iOSin a simple, native way as well as iframeload my website in an app as a simple:

    <iframe></iframe>

  1. Best Answer

    You can use any framework for a hybrid app like:

    1. ionic
    2. Flutter
    3. Xamarin

    Among the best known: with them you create the HTML and CSS necessary for your application.

    The other Native option is to add in the initial ViewController a Webview (Android) or WKWebview (iOS) pointing to your site where your application is hosted.

    I leave you an example in Swift so you have an idea.

    ViewController

    import UIKit
import WebKit

class InitialViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView! //link al Web View

    override func ViewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com.ec") // la URL de tu Aplicación Web
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!) // creas el request con la URL

        self.webView.load(request) // cargas en el Web View el contenido del Request
    }
}

    story board

    Webview on the Storyboard

    Execution in the simulator

    Run

    When executing the application, the Webview would display the content of your Web Application.

  2. What you ask for is not feasible, converting a website to a mobile application does not make sense, I have several years of experience developing apps and the only thing I can tell you is that the experience on the Web and mobile devices are two very different things. I recommend using React Native which allows you to use React to build native apps for both Android and IOS by writing code in Javascript.
