Tried it again with a clean app, this time not getting the error. Don't know why I did get this exception. Sorry about that.

This is not reproducible anymore with latest 3.2.0GA release.

Testing Environment:

MAC OS X 10.8.5 Android SDK: 4.2.2 Titanium SDK: 3.2.0.GA Titanium CLI Version: 3.2.0

Test Code

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   		title : 'URL TEST',
   		navBarHidden : false
   	});
    
   	// Create a Button.
   	var go = Ti.UI.createButton({
   		title : 'URL TEST',
   		height : Ti.UI.SIZE,
   		width : Ti.UI.SIZE,
   		top : 10,
    
   	});
    
   	// Listen for click events.
   	go.addEventListener('click', function() {
    
   		Ti.Platform.openURL("http://www.google.com");
    
   	});
    
   	win.add(go);
   	win.open();

Steps to Test:

1. Create a sample project, 2. Paste this code in app.js file. 3. Run this with testing environment. 4. Click on URL test button
