Maybe you could make an app that opens on the Android default browser... but as far as I know, you need something like Java with the proper SDK to make an native or standalone Android Application... but there're other alternatives. I.e. you can use C# with Xamarin for Android development, or even with C++, and surely there are other options. Edit: There is an open source mobile development framework called Adobe Cordova which allows you to write mobile applications with just HTML, Css and JavaScript. I didn't knew of this when I first try to answer this question and as I have seen so far, is the former Phone gap that ChaoticDawg mentioned. You can also target other mobile platforms with Cordova besides Android, like IOS and Windows Mobile.

You can use cordova. PhoneGap is cordova now.

Look into PhoneGap. This will allow you to build a Android app mostly using your html, css, javascript etc code. OR You could build a web app used through the browser, you could also build an Android app with a simple built in webView activity that uses your web code.

You should look into React Native or Ionic framework. React Native is currently trending now though.
