jQuery Mobile / PhoneGap app displays very wide on Android device but not in WP7 emulator

Question

I have created a mobile app using jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap. When I run the app on a Windows Phone 7 emulator, it displays at the expect width. http://post.robfine.com/jqueryapponwindowsphoneemulator.png

However, when I create an apk and test the app out on my android device, it displays at a much larger width. http://post.robfine.com/jquerymobileappsowideandroid.jpg

From my research, everything points to the viewport metatag, which I already have handled.

                    </div>
                    <div>
                        <h2 id="RuleTitle" style="margin:0px;"></h2>
                    </div>
                    <div>
                        <span id="Directions"></span>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Has anybody else seen this issue when using PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile? Thanks in advance.

Solution

You have a lot of stuff in your viewport tag, my phonegap apps work fine in android just with the following viewport tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1">
