Bootstrap v2 Dropdown Navigation not working on Mobile Browsers

Question

I am having an issue with the Bootstrap menu dropdowns on mobile devices (Bootstrap 2). A similar question was asked here with dropdown buttons, however the answer for that

Answer 1

I am using bootstrap-3.3.1 and I am experiencing the same problem in a Android phonegap app.

I found a funny workaround after several trials and errors:

// clueless hack here!!!! otherwise dropdown menu doesn't work
$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown('toggle');
$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown('toggle');
