4. Why Neev for mobile application development?
Neev chosen among the top 12 iOS developers in India by ContractIQ,
an online community for custom mobile app development agencies
and their works.
5. Off-shore outsourcing is often said to
be risky business at best - major
quality issues and endless struggles
to make the development team to
understand and accept the
requirements. Add to this the
language barrier with a client that
doesn't have English as first language
and no full-time project team in
Sweden.
To our surprise, this was never an
issue!

• NAVTEQ is a company promoted by Nokia
for creating digital maps and map content for
navigation and location-based solutions.
• Neev has developed the NAVTEQ SDK kit to give
access to users to develop and integrate mapping
applications using NAVTEQ data. An API that
supports the display of map images and user
interaction with the map images was also built.
• Due to limited memory on an Android device, one
of the challenge was to handle multiple image tiles
that form the Map of the screen. So data
optimization was done to overcome this. Another
challenge was to avoid constant garbage collection,
as garbage collection freezes the UI for a few
hundred milliseconds. This was overcome by
creating pools of reusable objects to prevent
frequent GC and also to keep number of bitmaps
being handled within the device’s memory limits.

32. Comparison between Native and Hybrid (PhoneGap) Apps
• The scope of a native App is based on the device OS and can use all features of
the device.
• Programmers can control the UI without compromising on aspects like
performance, battery drain, etc.
• It is easier to create enhancements for native Apps. However, Native Apps can
only be developed by highly-skilled developers.
• Native Apps can only be built using a specific App development language
supported by the device APIs. For e.g.: Objective C for iOS, Java for Android.
• Since PhoneGap-based Hybrid development uses web technologies like
JavaScript, CSS and HTML and the same App could work cross-platform, the
App development cost across multiple mobile OS is lesser than the cost for
native App development.
• A PhoneGap-based Hybrid App can be built by a web designer with a short
learning curve.
34. Why use PhoneGap/Cordova? What are the Applications?
• Write once, run on multiple platforms
• Extend functionality using native plugins
• Cloud based build system (Phonegap Build)
• Uniform design across platforms using a framework like Bootstrap
• Native look and feel available using a framework like steroids.js
• Code in javascript for all platforms
• Access to all device capabilities.
35. Why Neev for PhoneGap/Cordova?
• Expertise in PhoneGap/Apache Cordova, HTML5, JavaScript.
• Experience in multiple JavaScript frameworks such as PhoneJS, AngularJS,
jQuery among others.
• The expertise of Neev on frontend technologies such as HTML5 and

attend online classroom sessions from any place rather than sitting in front of a desktop. The
application had to function smoothly on a range of Android devices and tablets and also on
different versions of Android. It had to stream video to even low-end devices despite their
lower processing power and limited memory capacities.
Solution: Neev developed an application, eGate, using streaming server integrations and
HTML5 player. Before developing the application, a thorough evaluation was done between
native applications and hybrid applications. Standard MVC design patterns were used for
AngularJS. Neev also designed and developed the UI for the App. The application has a single
code base that can be wrapped on to both iPhone and Android.
Top Features and Challenges:
•It displays a day-to-day course schedule with date and subject name.
•A text-based live chat facility through which students can discuss doubts with professors.
•A hybrid application that saves costs for Gateforum.
•Streaming videos to low-end devices caused concerns with the bit rate.

39. Case Study 3: A HTML5-based App for Customer Feedback Collection
About the client: The client is a startup based in Dubai. It aims to serve the Hotels and
Restaurants industry by digitizing the process of obtaining feedback from customers.
Business Challenge: The client required an on-the-go solution to realize their vision of
digitizing the Customer Feedback process for Hotels and Restaurant industry through which
restaurant goers could provide instant feedback. The solution was required to have a light
front-end and scalable back-end. It was required to work on all modern day mobile browsers.
Solution: Neev’s on-the-go solution was a HTML5-based hybrid Smartphone application.
Before the start of the project, an evaluation was carried out on choices available between
native and hybrid applications. Automated build deploys. Cucumber scripts were used to
automate the testing of the web services. The architecture with JSON and Angular provided a
scalable backend. The application consists of a single page web service driven architecture.
Neev undertook the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) for the application.
Top Features and Challenges:
• A complete Angular JS front-end with JQuery mobile.Web services, Continuous Integration.

an online system, mobilize people for a cause using his phone’s contact list, volunteer for the
group/ cause, publish ideas for social change and also organize offline meet ups for like
minded people.
Solution: Neev developed a cross platform application using PhoneGap to cater to this need.
Groovy on Grails was used in the development. UI/ UX design and server side code were also
created as part of the engagement. Social integration allowed the users to connect/ follow
their leaders on Facebook and twitter. Google Cloud Messaging for Android and Apple Push
Notifications Service for iOS were used for push notifications.
