Hybrid Android Apps. Is performance loss so great?

3

Someone there has already developed hybrid apps for Android and can you tell me if the performance loss is great? I have already read in various articles on this web as there are problems such as delay in the touch event, possible slows, etc. If you can share experiences or even leave referral links, it will be a great help.

That depends. The answer may be yes, there is significant performance reduction, or not, it makes no difference.

Situations where a Hybrid App performs similarly to the default app

  • Equivalent native app also need internet access to work, and hybrid app does not download much more content than native
  • Common apps with no additional complexity

Situations where a Hybrid App tends to have perceptibly worse performance

  • Games and applications that work with rich graphics

In some cases the problem of slowness occurs because hybrid applications run on top of a native (webview) layer. So, instead of having a direct access, the app makes an emulation to run.

In your case, I do not see large performance losses since it is an access to a webservice. Beware only of the number of requests. I have already developed apps with this type of communication and had no problems with performance.
