Android and JQueryMobile

So I am fast reaching a point where my little app I have been working on will be ready for its first release. As I am planning on targeting android I figured I had better get test it on an android phone.

So I boot up eclipse and create a project with an embedded webview and get my little app up and running. This is pretty easy and covered in many places around the web. I then spend a couple of hours fixing up problems based on my own errors and start to add a bit of polish.

I also come to the conclusion that JQueryMobile is very much in beta. That is beta in the traditional sense, as in not ready, rather than the gmail in beta but actually works really well. I have hit bugs with transitions not working correctly and sometime dialogs closing do not return to the correct page (although this one is not android specific). They are all reported and seen by others.

I am not negative about this, I knew it had bugs before I started and yes these bugs will stop me from release my little app until they are fixed. Given the rapid rate of progress JQueryMobile has made in the past I am hoping it will evolve into a mature product over the summer and I can then release my app on android.

For now I am entering the last 90% of the app development, as they say, but with the knowledge I can't really ship until more bugs are squashed in JQueryMobile.
