I know that card.io library helps in scanning credit/debit card for native applications.
Is it possible to use this library for hybrid applications to retrieve card details?
Can anyone suggest some other opensource library for the same function?
Thanks
You can use the card.io community supported PhoneGap project. See the iOS project for more details.
Check this Cordova Plugin. It is available for android and iOS

I am new to node js,Is there any common js framework or tool to develop mobile application which support android,ios,windows mobile.
NativeScript might be of interest to you.
You can use ReactNative to develop ios/android app in javascript. For more details please go through the http://www.reactnative.com/
Go to AngularJS and Ionicframework. You can create the cross platform mobile apps. NodeJS only for backend, you can't create the mobile application using node.
I am thinking about developing a android application to make a WebRTC call. Unfortunately the native WebView in android does not support such feature. I tried XDK with CrossWalk and it works with WebRTC well, but the problem is that it is a pure HTML, Javascript application. I suppose the capability of HTML5 application in android would be a problem? (Notification, service, communication with database). So what I am thinking is that maybe I can build a hybrid application with the framework of a native application and a WebView with it? Thanks in advance, that would help me a lot.
Yes, it is possible. I build this HTML5 , https://www.noupei.com/. Its fully HTML5, build using jQuery and jQuery Mobile. One of my college easily transpose it using a webview for android, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.knowledge7.android.noupei
BUT
It is also possible to completely develop your whole application using HTML5, and then package it with something like phonegap, the advantage you have is that using something like phonegap allows you to access the native features of the Android Device.
For HTML5 technologies like Bootstrap that allows you to make very good mobile interfaces are fully mobile responsive. It is possible to make very beautiful and attractive interfaces as well as you also have very good javascript frameworks like AngularJS.
I want to implement an Speech to text plugin in Titanium Appcelerator using JavaScript.
Which API should be used for the same?
I came across this link. It is useful for the plugin development in Java. If anyone have knowledge about it, please tell me if I can use it to develop the plugin in JavaScript and how can it be used?
Solved the problem. The same API will work for the JavaScript too.
Does Apple allow iOS and Mac apps to use Javascript? Can someone give me examples of how to use it and the advantages and disadvantages?
If you're looking for a less techy solution, you could also use AppFurnace ( http://www.appfurnace.com ) to create JavaScript & HTML5 apps, packaged as native apps for iPhone and Android. We use PhoneGap (mentioned above), with an added drag-and-drop interface, enabling you to make your own apps.
You can use phonegap as a javascript, html and css wrapper in your ios app if you want to create a native app using html and javascript.
There's NimbleKit which allows you to make native apps using HTML and Javascript. Otherwise you can use a UIWebview which you can execute Javascript in. Look at the UIWebView documentation for more info.
There are tools to code your app in javascript and compile it into native code.
But if you want your app to load javascript code at runtime and run it, then see this for more details.
Is there a platform I can use that takes all the technologies mentioned in the title and packages a native application for the most popular mobile Operating Systems (Android, iOS, RIM, WP7 etc)?
Thank you.
Yep, its called PhoneGap. PhoneGap Home
The first option requires you to build a file in an IDE. The second option they have is to upload a zip file in a certain format and they do the IDE work: PhoneGap Build
I have used both. They are quite fun to use! Read the APIs, the application is a little different in build structure than a typical web application.
Yes, you can use a software like Appcelerator Titanium to build applications for multiple platforms.
You can learn more at http://www.appcelerator.com
If you're not going to use any of the native libraries each of the platform provides, you're better off providing a mobile web site and instructing your users to bookmark it (you can bookmark pages to the homescreen in most of those platforms). Much less intrusive, much more simpler and maintainable.
Depending on what you want to do, yes - PhoneGap and Titanium Appcelerator are particularly suitable for this.
Someone I follow on Twitter did a nice write of comparing Appcelerator VS. PhoneGap VS. Adobe Air:
http://savagelook.com/blog/portfolio/appcelerator-vs-phonegap-vs-adobe-air
I've only used PhoneGap and dabbled briefly with Appcelerator. I found that PhoneGap used to be better, but that may no longer be the case it seems.
