Thanks for the information. I think modifying the skin to support jquery mobile is a viable solution.
I also find that some components of jquery mobile conflict jquery ui, as indicated by the following webpages, to list just a few. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9165737/jquerymobile-and-jquery-ui-data-i... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10146868/jquery-ui-slider-conflicting-wit...
I can deliberately avoid using these conflicting widgets.

I'm a little confused with the problem here. In theory there should be no reason why you cannot paste jQuery mobile in MediaWiki:Mobile.css or MediaWiki:Common.css - however you will indeed have to do a lot of work to make it look nice if adding the styles.
It sounds like you probably want to write your own jQuery mobile based skin [1]? [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skins

Hi, Aurther:
Shawn, to clarify - are you trying to create an Android app for your site or are you hoping to provide a more mobile-friendly experience for folks browsing your website on mobile devices?
Actually, I have already done the job you mentioned. I have created an android app for my wiki site, and wrap jquery mobile (JQM) libraries within the app to provide more mobile-friendly experiences. The problem is that the wiki site if browsed from PCs cannot support JQM, which means the wiki site has different look and feel on the android app and pc. That is not what I expected. I want the wiki site to also support JQM if browsed from PCs.
This is impossible: MediaWiki always serves jQuery which conflicts with JQM.
Thanks for the information. My app already uses this MobileFrontend extension. This is a wonderful extension to grab only the main contents (div#content) from mediawiki.
How about using our special mobile API[1]? :)
