  *
  * @param key           
  */
get(key, success, fail)

window.applicationPreferences.get("myKey", function(value) {
		alert("Value is " + value);
	}, function(error) {
		alert("Error! " + JSON.stringify(error));
});

set

/**

  *
  * @param key
  * @param value           
  */
set(key, value, success, fail)

Sample use:

window.applicationPreferences.set("myKey", "myValue", function() {
		alert("Successfully saved!");
	}, function(error) {
		alert("Error! " + JSON.stringify(error));
