I have a mobilefirst hybrid app project and I have implemented Activity subclass in its native project for bluetooth and google maps. Now if I run on a physical device, only the native activity launches and no html page is displayed. On the other hand if i try to run it on the emulator, the html pages are displayed but cant test the native side. (native activity searches for bluetooth)

You need to use the SendAction API to invoke native classes from the web code. See the following tutorial and documentation topic:
- Tutorial (and sample app): https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/adding-native-functionality/android-adding-native-ui-elements-hybrid-applications/
- Documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.dev.doc/devref/c_action_sender.html
- Example: Android: MobileFirst sending data from Native to cross page
Using the API you can make a call in wlCommonInit to execute your code in the native class and use that native functionality in your hybrid app.
Alternatively you can also implement a custom Cordova plug-in: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/adding-native-functionality/android-adding-native-functionality-hybrid-application-apache-cordova-plugin/

OK so the part i was missing is that I needed to implement WLInitWebFrameworkListener class and implement its onInitWebFrameworkComplete function to load mainhtmlfile, so now i can see my html side on the app. Now what I want to do is initialize this framework on a listview item click event, but it doesnot let me since the context has changed – Samra Jul 05 '16 at 03:07

I had to add MyActivity.this instead of this to change the context!! Problem solved – Samra Jul 05 '16 at 03:21
