Frameworks/Tools used for app development:
- jQuery Mobile 1.0.1
- PhoneGap 1.3
Device/s used used for testing:
- Lenovo Thinkpad (Android 3.1)
- Sony experia (Android 2.3)
Issue:
App will always crash when dynamically generating a page (jQuery Mobile) with list-view items (items 60+). This is the case only on Android 3.x, app works fine on Android 2.x.
<ul id="mk_activity" data-role="listview">
//the rows are added here dynamically
</ul>
On Android 3.x crash can be replicated every time the app refreshes the page with dynamically generated list-view.
Since the app works fine in Android 2.x and there are no issues when running the app on the browser I'm assuming that the issue has to be with Android 3.x.
Please someone shed some light on this issue, thanks in advance.

The name of my app is e2o.mobile. The app is killed after getting a SIGSEGV.
EDIT: on some digging into, it seems that the bug is related to the structure of my row elements of my list. if i print 1000 plain rows with text it doesn't crash. Here is the structure of my row-
<li data-theme="c" class="ui-btn ui-btn-icon-right ui-li-has-arrow ui-li ui-btn-hover-c ui-btn-up-c">
<div class="ui-btn-inner ui-li" aria-hidden="true">

<a class="f-item ui-link-inherit" href="javascript:void(0);" >
<p class="ui-li-heading f_feed_title f_l_indent ui-li-desc">abc</p>
<p class="ui-li-desc f_feed_desc f_l_indent">asadasd</p>
