Help! Swipe event not working in android 4.2

Help! Swipe event not working in android 4.2

I am trying to implement the swipe event in my list page but it doesn't seem to work in Galaxy Quattro running Android 4.2. Even if i test the demo page of jquery mobile ver 1.4.4 then also its not running properly. 

Code snippet is  

$('#list_drag1').bind("swipe",function()
 {
       alert('swiping');
});

where  list_drag1 is id of a single div. 

Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
