The HTML5 container is supported in the native AAR mode, the mPaaS Inside mode, and the component mode. If you want to connect to and use mPaaS as other SDKs, we recommend that you use the native AAR mode. The native AAR mode uses the native Android AAR-based packaging solution, and therefore is closer to the technology stack of Android developers. This access method frees you from the need to understand mPaaS-related packaging knowledge. You can integrate mPaaS into your projects by using the mPaaS Android Studio plug-in. This method reduces your access costs and makes it easier for you to get started with mPaaS.
To help you get familiar with and master the native AAR mode, this tutorial uses the native AAR mode as an example to provide guidance on how to connect to the HTML5 container component and use HTML5 offline packages.
This tutorial consists of the following parts:
- Create an app in Android Studio.
- Create an app in the mPaaS console.
- Connect mPaaS to your projects in the native AAR mode.
- Use the HTML5 container.
