//1. Create an Android app using Eclipse.

//2. Create a layout that has a <WebView> control.
public class WebApp extends Activity {
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        WebView wv = new WebView(this);
        wv.loadUrl("http://www.myapp.com/");
        setContentView(wv);
    }
}

//3. Move your HTML code to /assets folder.

//4. Load webview with your file:///android_asset/ file.

//5. Don't forget to enable JavaScript: 
WebSettings webSettings = w.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

//Notes about PhoneGap
// PhoneGap sounds/seems good for web developers who want to have native apps out of the HTML5 web app, but at the end there is a catch. 
// In the beginning everything is said to be open source and free at the end it asks for subscription fees to add apps to store. 
// There is a free option with hell lot of restrictions. –
