I'm must build the same application for android and iphone. I tryed rhodes, that is great, but some native ui features are missing...

I would like to know, is there a strategy, sdk, framework, or something for building native applications for android and iphone that somehow reduce the rework? Or any suggestion of other framework, like rhodes...

Thanks

Phone Gap is the place for you. You should have a look at this http://www.phonegap.com/about

  • I tryed phonegap and Titanium, Titanium was the closest to what I was looking for. But when in 1 hour of native android development, I did the job of days in titanium, I changed directions and started 2 native apps. – Tiago Jul 29 '11 at 22:20

Documentation, Documentation, Documentation! Have a well written PDR and stick to it. there is another approach which is to use a tool that generates both simultaneously like: phonegap or corona SDK.

Design for some level of resolution independence. Try to code as much as you appropriately can in HTML rather than native controls. And wrap common API calls so you have 1 method to change rather than 100 different calls all over the place.

You could consider using monotouch and monodroid.
