I am starting on learning android development but i still do not know what is the preferred way to go. My first application used a web browser to call an internet site designed for mobile devices.
I have to admit, I don't know how things work on other platforms and whether they provide tools intended for sites built for mobile devices. This thread is in the ASP.NET forum though, so the OP should probably read this:

That was the first result when I Googled asp.net mobile site development.
