This Intel XDK project has just an index.html file with the basic html, head
and body tags required for building HTML5 mobile web apps. Use this template to
create a packaged mobile web app that does not use any device features.
The icon.png and screenshot.png files are not required by your project. They
are included for use by the Intel XDK template/demo panel and have no use within
a real app. You can safely delete them from your project directory.
You can build a packaged Cordova web app that can be submitted to a store
using the "Cordova Hybrid Mobile App Platforms” build tiles (for Crosswalk,
Android, iOS and Windows). The intelxdk.config.additions.xml file can be used
to include options that control your packaged Cordova web app builds. For
example, you can set the splash screen display time for a packaged Android or
Crosswalk Cordova app using this file.
If you convert (or upgrade) your "Standard HTML5 Project" into a "Standard HTML5 + Cordova Project" you must comment out the noted script files inside the provided index.html file.
The cordova.js script will be needed if you choose to convert your project to
a Cordova project and enhance your app with Cordova APIs. It is not required
to build a Cordova packaged web app for distribution via the Android, iOS and
Windows stores if that app does not utilize Cordova APIs.
This blank template does not require any Cordova APIs. If you would like to add Cordova APIs to your application (via Cordova plugins) you must first convert your project into a Cordova project. You can do this by clicking the Cordova icon in the Project Info section on the Projects tab. Or, you can create a new Cordova project using a Cordova blank template or a Cordova demo or sample app as a starting point.
