Native UIControls with jqTouch

Question

Hi there,

After experimenting with a bunch of javascript tabbars (most fail when using forms), i've decided it might be a good idea to go native.

Would anyone know how to incorporate native UIControls (tabbar & header) in a jqTouch app. I'd still need to retain control of the 'back' and 'info' buttons in the header.

Thanks! Glen

What you need to determine at this point is what is the benefit of the hybrid approach? After you spend all of the time writing the native code to support the navigation and the tabs and the header bar you will have written a fair bit of code.

Then attempting to put that code together in a way to interface back to the Phonegap UIWebview it will, IMHO, become overly complex... however it can be done.

I woud suggest you first write the native application and get it functioning and then integrate that code back in to the PhoneGap Applicate Delegate
