The feedback from the tutorial below, along with the feedback from presenting this tutorial at DrupalCamp Michigan and the University of Michigan Drupal Developers meeting, inspired me to build DrupalGap.

UPDATE: Please read this article for a much more detailed explanation on how to get PhoneGap up and running to communicate with Drupal Services.

This info assumes you have Drupal 6.x, Services 3.x and PhoneGap/Eclipse/Android up and running. If you are new to Drupal Services, head over to the Drupal Services Examples article to get started. This page is a work in progress and I will continue to add more examples when days are 48 hours long.

After a fresh format in Ubuntu I needed to browse an Android emulator's SQLite database inside Eclipse. After a bit of research, I recalled this is how it can be done with DDMS and a cool plugin for Eclipse called Questoid SQLite Browser.

Create the SD Card...

Let's create a 64MB sd card for our Android emulator, shall we?

Linux

From a terminal...

# cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
# ./mksdcard 64M ~/Desktop/sdcard.iso

Windows XP

From a DOS prompt...

cd C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools
mksdcard 64M c:\documents and settings\tyler\desktop\sdcard.iso

Now you can use the 'Eclipse Android SDK and AVD Manager' to create a new android virtual device that can use the path to the sd card you created.
