Getting started with Android and JBoss

There are several IDEs for Java and a few of them are IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans, and JBoss Developer Studio. Android Studio is the most recommended and commonly used IDE for Android development. However, it does not provide support for Cordova/PhoneGap development. When compared to others, JBoss Developer Studio provides a very easy and convenient way of creating and working with the PhoneGap project. You can download the latest version from the JBoss website at https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/. In order to run a sample application based on Apache Cordova/PhoneGap, you need to install the Android SDK, and add the JBoss Hybrid Mobile Tools plugin to your JBoss install. This tool extends the capabilities of JBoss to let you quickly set up new Cordova projects, add Cordova plugins, debug applications, and even export signed (or unsigned) APK files in order to distribute the application.
