jquery-mobile loaded into an android WebView

I've not been able to get a webpage decorated by jquerymobile to load into an Android WebView.

Consider the jquery mobile demo site: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/

final WebView browser; 

browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browser_webview);
final WebSettings settings = browser.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
settings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
settings.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);
browser.loadUrl("http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/);

Deployed to an android device (nexus one) this just crashes. Deployed to an emulator logs report

Most all my issues went away by replacing jquery-1.5.2.min.js with jquery-1.5.2.js.

The rest of my issues were resolved by replacing relative paths to link and script resources with absolute paths.

Why not check out the phonegap source file for the DroidGap class responsible for loading its Android web view? Many people are routinely using jquery mobile, among other frameworks, with phonegap on android. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for in there:
