hybrid-application

A hybrid application is a software application that combines elements of both native and web apps. It runs on multiple platforms using a single codebase, offering broader compatibility and functionality.

What is the difference between a native Android application and a hybrid application?

Native Android applications are developed specifically for the Android operating system and are written in programming languages like Java or Kotlin. These applications offer high performance, greater access to device functionalities, and can be easily published on app stores. On the other hand, hybrid applications are built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and are wrapped in a native shell to be installed and run on multiple platforms. Hybrid apps provide a cross-platform advantage, allowing developers to write code once and deploy it on different platforms. However, they may have performance limitations, restricted access to device features, and potentially slower UI responsiveness compared to native apps.
