# First Use Guide

## Overview

svyPhonegap is a service to provide native mobile functionality from a Servoy application. This guide will help you integrate and build your first mobile app using the service.

## Getting Started

Once you've gotten your main Servoy solution created, install the Phonegap Module. This is available under the [Servoy Package Manager](https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoy-developer/package-manager). Alternatively you can also download this module directly from our [github repository](https://github.com/servoy/svyPhonegap).

## Initialize the module

Select your main solution and hook up the onOpen event to a new scope method.

You can also hook up a callback method if you need access to native functionality as soon as the device is ready. Your code might look like below

```javascript
function onSolutionOpen(arg, queryParams) {
//initialize phonegap module
scopes.phonegap.onSolutionOpen(arg,queryParams, onReadyCallback);

}	

function onReadyCallback(){
//device is ready, get information from a plugin
application.output(plugins.svyphonegapDevice.getDeviceInfo());
}
```

## Integrating with your first plugin

Integration examples can be found per plugin for example the [Camera plugin guide](https://docs.servoy.com/guides/develop/programming-guide/extensions/modules/svyphonegap/camera).

## Building a mobile binary

Once you are satisfied with the main solution and code. We will want to be able to export and run this app on a mobile device. First [deploy](https://docs.servoy.com/guides/deploy) the Servoy solution. Then follow the [Building Native Binary](https://docs.servoy.com/guides/develop/mobile-development/exporting-to-an-app-store) guide.
