Hey Jballou,
I can’t talk about phonegap since I have used it only briefly. However, you can achieve the same result with ProtoSee. There are couple of threads on the topic. In summary, it is a $5 app which you can use to load .zip archives of generated prototypes (loadable via iTunes or Dropbox).
Using ProtoSee (iPhone only at the moment; for Android, you can probably use the file system via an SD card) is the next step of the general approach I outlined above. In a nutshell:
You have an iframe pointing to an .html file pointing to a sound file. Dump the .html and sound file (preferably an .mp4 or .ogg) in the same folder where the proto is being generated. Then set the following paths:
- for iFrame to open “name.html”
- in the .html file for the <audio> container set the srce to “./sound.mp4”)
You will need to either use the built-in audio controls or build custom ones via CSS and FontAwesome and handle the interactivity (e.g., play/pause) with JS functions.
This approach will help you demo sound/video on a standalone device with no need for WiFi or network connectivity!
Hope this helps!
