I am using jquery mobile 1.3.1 and phone gap for my project. I have encountered the problem on the Android device that whenever i am displaying the loader widget in jquery mobile the content in the background disappears. I want it to look like an overlay but currently its loading into the page. And once the request is completed the content displays again.
For showing the loader I am using
$.mobile.loading('show');
EDIT: Got this to work.
I was handling the following property in css which was creating the issue.
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
