Adding new shared preference throws type inference error

[vibin]

Hi, I can edit existing keys/values of SharedPreferences via Stetho, but adding a new one throws this error: "Unsupported: cannot add new key [redacted] due to lack of type inference".

That kind of makes sense as SharedPreferences can be types other than Strings, but localStorage only supports String values. Perhaps for adding a new shared pref value Stetho could default to making it a String?

So changing from:

if (existingValue == null) {
          throw new DOMStorageAssignmentException(
              "Unsupported: cannot add new key " + key + " due to lack of type inference");
        } else {
...

to:

if (existingValue == null) {
         existingValue = value
}
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
          try {
            assignByType(editor, key, SharedPreferencesHelper.valueFromString(value, existingValue));
...
