Android field widget

Rather annoyingly a last-minute change I made caused the widget to
a) error on startup thereby causing its properties to fail, and
b) crash when tapping the field to enter text

There was some blurb about this in the release email. If you are keen to
give it a try, these issues are fixed in the develop branch, so you could
download the source here:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode/tree/develop/extensions/widgets/androidfield
 ,
give it a different identifier and install it via the extension builder.
