Description

This is feature request to allow "undefined" to be set as part of Ti.Properties, specifically the setBool and getBool. This works fine on iOS but does not on Android. Currently getBool accepts "true", "false" and "null". There is a http://support.appcelerator.com/tickets/BUQ-42972-167/homepage ticket asking for this.

setting undefined should have the same effect as setting to null

The following code works fine on iOS, but on Android it crashes (tested with a Samsung Galaxy S2, TiSDK 2.0.2GA):

 
   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: 'white' });
   
   Ti.App.Properties.setBool('boolValue1', true);
   Ti.API.info('The value of the boolValue1 property is: ' + Ti.App.Properties.getBool('boolValue1'));
   
   Ti.App.Properties.setBool('boolValue2', false);
   Ti.API.info('The value of the boolValue2 property is: ' + Ti.App.Properties.getBool('boolValue2'));
   
   Ti.App.Properties.setBool('boolValue3', null);
   Ti.API.info('The value of the boolValue3 property is: ' + Ti.App.Properties.getBool('boolValue3'));
   
   Ti.App.Properties.setBool('boolValue4', undefined);
   Ti.API.info('The value of the boolValue4 property is: ' + Ti.App.Properties.getBool('boolValue4'));
   
   win.open();

The PR doesn't address parity since iOS behaves differently for 'undefined' values. This is part of a larger issue that would require discussion between all the platforms. Bumping it out of 3.2.0
