             Summary: inconsistent null handling between EVAL and ONLINE bridge 
modes
                 Key: CB-12218
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12218
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 6.0.0
         Environment: Android
            Reporter: Alan Kinzie


If the Android native code invokes the success callback like this:
callbackContext.success(null);
then the value given to the javascript callback changes depending on the bridge 
type used.

If the ONLINE_EVENT type is used, then null will be passed to the javascript 
callback.
ie: if result is the parameter of the javascript success callback then
result === null  // will be true
result === "" // will be false

If the EVAL_BRIDGE type is used, then an empty string will be passed to the 
javascript callback.
ie: if result is the parameter of the javascript success callback then
result === null  // will be false
result === "" // will be true

The value of the parameter given to the success callback should not change 
depending on the bridge type.  Since ONLINE_EVENT was the default before 
cordova android 6.0.0, I am inclined to think the ONLINE bridge is doing the 
correct behaviour.  Also, converting null to an empty string loses information. 
 Therefore I think the EVAL mode should to be changed to be consistent with the 
ONLINE mode.
