Off-shore outsourcing is often said to be risky business at best - major quality issues and endless struggles to make the development team to understand and accept the requirements. Add to this the language barrier with a client that doesn't have English as first language and no full-time project team in Sweden. To our surprise, this was never an issue! .

SDKs

Android SDK for NAVTEQ

Solution Highlights
NAVTEQ is a company promoted by Nokia for creating digital maps and map content for navigation and location-based solutions. Neev has developed the NAVTEQ SDK kit to give access to users to develop and integrate mapping applications using NAVTEQ data. An API that supports the display of map images and user interaction with the map images was also built. Due to limited memory on an Android device, one of the challenge was to handle multiple image tiles that form the Map of the screen. So data optimization was done to overcome this. Another challenge was to avoid constant garbage collection, as garbage collection freezes the UI for a few hundred milliseconds. This was overcome by creating pools of reusable objects to prevent frequent GC and also to keep number of bitmaps being handled within the devices memory limits.

Case Studies PhoneGap/Cordova and HTML5

Comparison between Native and Hybrid (PhoneGap) Apps

The scope of a native App is based on the device OS and can use all features of the device. Programmers can control the UI without compromising on aspects like performance, battery drain, etc. It is easier to create enhancements for native Apps. However, Native Apps can only be developed by highly-skilled developers. Native Apps can only be built using a specific App development language supported by the device APIs. For e.g.: Objective C for iOS, Java for Android. Since PhoneGap-based Hybrid development uses web technologies like JavaScript, CSS and HTML and the same App could work cross-platform, the App development cost across multiple mobile OS is lesser than the cost for native App development.

A PhoneGap-based Hybrid App can be built by a web designer with a short learning curve.

A typical PhoneGap/Cordova Build System

Why use PhoneGap/Cordova? What are the Applications?

Write once, run on multiple platforms Extend functionality using native plugins Cloud based build system (Phonegap Build) Uniform design across platforms using a framework like Bootstrap

Native look and feel available using a framework like steroids.js

Code in javascript for all platforms Access to all device capabilities.
