I am having a strange problem with the android browser. Hopefully this is something I am doing fundamentally wrong and not a JQuery bug. I have tried the following code in Firefox and Chrome which work fine. However when I try it in the Android browser, clicking on the Get Tweets button does not work. It seems to be an issue with JQuery Mobile because when I add the event to a normal non JQuery Mobile object it binds correctly and the console.log fires. I have tried with both alpha and beta versions of JQuery Mobile with no luck.

- 1 Try using the 'pagecreate' event rather than $(document).ready(): jquerymobile./demos/1.0b1/#/demos/1.0b1/docs/api/events.html – Ahmed Nuaman Commented Jul 5, 2011 at 16:10
- I replaced .ready() with this and again the same issue. Click event handler works fine in all browsers except android mobile. – Caimen Commented Jul 5, 2011 at 16:56
- How are you viewing the console? – Ahmed Nuaman Commented Jul 5, 2011 at 17:01
- In firefox I use firebug, in Android I use Dalvik Debug monitor. The 'page loaded' log is seen in ddms, but the click log is not. Both are seen in firebug. – Caimen Commented Jul 5, 2011 at 17:04

Reset to default 6So it seems I was simply doing it the old fashioned JQuery way when there is actually a JQuery Mobile way of doing these things now. Here is the correct code.
$('#page').live('pagecreate',function(event){
console.log('page loaded');
$(".tweetjack").live('tap',function(event) {
console.log('test');
});
});
JQM seems to intercept clicks, and set the href to '#', which can cause some havoc if you're trying to intercept them. This worked for me, to process the link before JQM gets to it:
$(document).bind("pageinit", function() {
$("a").bind("click", function(e){ fix_mobile_links(this, e) });
}
