jQueryMobile loads its first page as every site does. The usual Google Analytics integration works - the request ist tracked. But following pages are loaded asynchronously and user clicks are not tracked.

How to integrate Google Analytics into a jQueryMobile website, so that all page clicks are tracked?

Jon Gales has written a great article on this.

http://www.jongales.com/blog/2011/01/10/google-analytics-and-jquery-mobile/

Here's the code he recommends using:

$('[data-role=page]').live('pageshow', function (event, ui) {
    try {
        _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'YOUR_GA_ID']);

        hash = location.hash;

        if (hash) {
            _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', hash.substr(1)]);
        } else {
            _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
        }
    } catch(err) {

    }

});

Update

Since live is now deprecated you should use the on event instead, if you´re using jQuery 1.7+. http://api.jquery.com/on/

For those having problems with Phonegap and google analytics :

Google code uses cookies and it doesn't work with file:// urls wich is what Phonegap uses. The Pokki team made a good implementation that uses localStorage in place of cookies. I made a fork on github to remove the need of pokki, so here is a solution that works with phonegap as a standalone library

hope this will help someone else :)
