Just getting started, already hit a brick wall....(Blank white screen?)

Ok, so...

I just wanted to test how an edge animate app would look on my note 5. So I made a VERY basic app, simply a box moving from one point to another, and another box being the 'trigger' to start the animation. Works fine in a regular browser, and I was hoping to have it work the same on my phone.

I went through the process of building the app, downloaded the apk, but when I load the app on my phone, its just a blank white screen, and nothing happens.

I'm not one to give up so quickly, so i'm hoping someone can help me figure this out? Its a VERY simple zip, only 2 files in it (index.html, and index_edge.js) but nothings happening :-/

Since this is your first post, please answer the following question:
- is this your first hybrid app?
- are you using Desktop App?
- are you using CLI, Build, or SDK? Please do not assume the answer, please read the link.

Thanks
Jesse

Hi.

This is my first app period, I was just trying to get something from point A to point B (point b being my note 5)

I was using Edge Animate, and made a super simple animation, just to see it as an 'app' on my phone, that is all I want to do just to see it work.

is this your first hybrid app? // Uhm, yes?
- are you using Desktop App? // I used edge animate (I feel like thats not the answer your looking for)
- are you using CLI, Build, or SDK? Please do not assume the answer, please read the link. // I used the phonegap build website, uploaded the zip containing what came out of edge animate, and it spit out an apk

but when I installed, it was a no-go

Since you appear to have no config.xml (which is required, see the PGB Blog) you can't expect to see more than a white screen.

@awesnap,
This tutorial might help.
An HTML Boilerplate for Phonegap

Ignore the red banner for now. I do need to update that, but just have not had time. However, it will build. Use it as an example. You will find additional notes in the README.md file.
