PHP for Android

[Rohithzr]

I have been reading a lot about making an android app on php but could not find good sources or methods to do so. Maybe this Forum can help a bit Please.<br/>What I want to know is that how do i start with “PFA”?

PHP is a server side language, in order for you to run a PHP script on Android devices everyone would need to install a LAMP stack which is not realistic. I think what you are looking for is a script written in PHP that is linked via a web container in an application or a simple browser link that anyone can visit.

Well I thought that android apps can be completely written in php without the need of java. Maybe I was wrong.

or NOT?

No!

You need to access phones resources, which you can NOT do with PHP. Closest you can get is with HTML5, CSS3, & JavaScript + PhoneGap.
