Google Analytics & jQuery Mobile & jQuery 1.9

Question

There has been a previous Question about using Google Analytics with jquery Mobile with a successful answer provided here. However this was for versions of jQuery prior to 1

Answer 1

The code Google gives on the Tracking Info page you will look something like this, depending on what features you've chosen:

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'foo.bar']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

And you're told to put that immediately after the opening . You should keep it in the same place with jQuery Mobile (tested on v1.3) by removing the _trackPageview line and adding a simple snippet to the end of that code block, giving:

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'foo.bar']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

    $(document).on('pageshow', ':jqmData(role="page")', function(evt, data) {
        var url = $(this).jqmData('absUrl');
        try {
            if (url) {
                url = $.mobile.path.parseUrl(url)
                _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', url.pathname + url.search + url.hash]);
            }
            else {
                _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
            }
        }
        catch(e) {}
    });
