- Anatomy of a MobileFirst Cordova project
The file structure of a MobileFirst Cordova project helps you organize the code that is necessary for your apps. - Creating a Cordova project with the CLI
Create a Cordova project by using the mfp cordova create command, then configure and preview your app. - Managing platforms
With MobileFirst Platform Command Line Interface (CLI), you can build applications for either Android or iOS within your Cordova project. When you add a platform to your application, a new folder for that environment is created. - Managing Cordova plug-ins
With MobileFirst Platform Command Line Interface (CLI), you can use any plug-in in the Cordova Plugin Registry. Third-party plug-ins are not supported by IBM®, therefore you use them at your own risk. - Enabling a Cordova app to support Android SDK version 23 permissions
You might need to update some items to support permission handling for your IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation version 7.1 Apache Cordova applications that target Android SDK version 23 and request permissions at runtime. - Connecting to MobileFirst Server
By default, an application starts in offline mode. You can make it start in online mode or connect to MobileFirst Server later. - Converting existing MobileFirst hybrid app into a Cordova app
You can migrate an existing MobileFirst Hybrid app to a Cordova app by creating a new Cordova project, and migrating your existing code. - Converting a MobileFirst Cordova project to an Android Studio-based project
Follow these instructions if you want to work with a MobileFirst Cordova project in Android Studio, and use Gradle building capabilities.
