In this last video of our Web App development series, we will be going over how to build a mobile app using Cordova. We will also install and use GenyMotion for our virtual Android device.

This video wraps up the development of our SammyJS web app and shows you how to build a mobile application using Cordova for Android. The same steps can be taken to build an iOS version as well. We will use NPM to install and utilize Cordova.

Please note in the video, I ran into an issue with the Android emulator being able to talk to the WAMP API, so I installed the API on a production server. You can see this API here: https://thedevdrawer.com/files/api/documentation/

From there, you can modify your code to use my sample API in order to finish this project, otherwise, you can push your API to your own production server and use your links in the place of the demo I setup.
