: Need help converting website to offline android apk
: 0E 800 October 22, 2015, 01:49:51 AM
Site: http://bios-pw.org/
Source: https://github.com/bacher09/pwgen-for-bios

Goal: Create a simple android app that is able to run offline.

Pitfalls: Tried online helpers that claim to convert websites to android app. They do create a apk but they use webview or something and require internet access.

Any advice, avenues to check would be greatly appreciated.

You should create a hybrid app using Ionic. Google a bit, try to do it, I can help you if you get stuck.

Thank you for your advice. Currently am using Android Studio and using Webview class.

I had some good experience with Intel XDK (https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-xdk) (it's a tool to build app with html5) before  ;D. Looks like the site just contains html and js so you should be able to use the source directly to build the app.

Nice this helped very much. Makes it way more easy to port to other devices.


Here is my App :) Formatted for android smart phones, might not look very great on a tablet.

Ionic is ment for building a web app from scratch. If you just want to wrap the website as an app simply create an iframe of your site in a new cordova project.

Ionic just adds a bunch of other stuff you dont need like the css files etc.
