Converting html5 canvas to android

I've been spending the last week to develop a little platform game with HTML5's ca开发者_Python百科nvas element. I was thinking about trying to port my game to the Android platform, but came across a few questions. I have never done any Android programming, nor Java! Only Javascript and PHP - but belive I have a good understanding of programming in general.

1. Will I be able to use the same procedure for building my game? Here I mean, my way of drawing everything on the screen/canvas. The rest is just calculations, and should be easily ported?

   • Every game loop I draw the background image, all items, and both players.

2. What would be the best way to control a platform game on a touchscreen? I was thinking about detecting parts of the screen individually.

   • Finger on right side: Walk right
   • Finger on left side: Walk left
   • Tap screen: jump
   • 2 Finger tap: place bomb

Any suggestions or links are appreciated. Let me know if you need to see any code or an example of the game.

I suggest you look into using cocoonjs with your experience in php/javascript. It is really new so there is not a lot of documentation but if you pick through there demo code I am sure you will be fine.

Am not being specific here but I think you can look up on Appcelerator Titanium and Phonegap to write Android apps using PHP and Javascript. There is a difference between how they function and what they do, though.

Here are some links:
