The document provides guidance for Domino developers to create native Android applications using PhoneGap. It outlines how to set up the development environment with Eclipse, Android SDK, and the PhoneGap plugin. Developers can build applications in Domino and export the HTML and JavaScript files to a PhoneGap project to create a native Android app. Data can be transferred from Domino to the Android app using JSON output from Domino views and writing it to a local WebSQL database, and then writing data back to Domino servers via AJAX posts.
