My thoughts on developing hybrid Android app

It's easier said than done!
Do not ever dream of developing hybrid app for complicated and responsive UI on Android prior to KitKat.

Thinking JQM or Cordova could be a life saver?
NO WAY!!

It will also screw your time and budget trying to embed ChromiumView or What? GeckoView?
... asking your customer to use chrome or to upgrade the Android is also a bad idea.



It's better you could go native, or still persist doing hybrid?
Then wait for another year until all the people around the world start using KitKat.
The Android WebView is definitely another IE for mobile world.

Below is a good article about Old WebView vs. Chromium backed WebView
