Polymer flat design phonegap

[kegita]

Hello! I have tried to follow "your first application" tutorial implementing it on phonegap, but i have noticed that the result wasn't what i expected.
Is there support for Phonegap or not???

@kegita I think you should describe in more details what "wasn't what i expected" means.

Polymer is using on Shadow DOM and based on http://caniuse.com/#search=shadow%20dom you can create apps only for Android 4.4 now.

I quess the question was, even he didn't know Polymer requiers Shadow DOM.
Does Phonegapp support Shadow DOM?

It depends on the device. If you're running on an older android device
you'll need to look into incorporating crosswalk into your project

So Cordova/Phnegap only supports the Webview, which the installed OS Version supports?

Im not sure what you're asking.

If we take a look at CanIUse - Shadow DOM
Android supports it since 4.4 (at least the browser does).

When I run an example of Polymer in my Phonegap App, everything works fine (I'm running 4.4.2).
Is this because I'm running a newer Android or would this also work in 2.3 (bad example) since Phonegap knows how to render it anyway?

My understanding of Phonegap is that it uses the webview to render your
app. In Android 4.4 the webview was updated to use chromium, so Polymer
works. In versions of android prior to 4.4, the webview does not work with
Polymer. Including crosswalk will bundle a version of chromium with your
app, and allow it to work on Android 4.0 and above. I don't know if it will
work on Android 2.3

That was the answer I was looking for ;)
I've read that with crosswalk, what I don't like are the extra 18mb and no support for IOS.
I know there are some other solutions, but with everything additional come about 3 new programs to deal with. And this makes the whole idea of hybrid completly irrelevant.

Oh an btw, great presentation @ the I/O 14 :)

Thanks :)

i am facing the same problem i have tried on android 4.4 , on chrome its working correctly but in webview through phonegap shadow dom is not working

[caiowilson]

@rtexplore as stated by @robdodson you will have to use crosswalk + cordova in order to get phonegap framework to get along with shadowdom in your webview.
Btw phonegap, whilst being a great easy tool is also hugely open to XSS attacks, I would consider a change.
much of luck.

@caiowilson #allofyou Corsswalk it's worked like a charm for me
