Android: Expose methods for controlling selection and cursor in TextField and TextArea

          Details

            Description

            TIMOB-6000 exposed a need for developers to be able to control the location and selection area of cursors in text fields since the current behavior is platform dependent.

            var text = Ti.UI.createTextField({top: 100, value: "This is Sparta."});
            		 
            //var text = Ti.UI.createTextArea({top: 100, value: "This is Sparta."});
            		 
             
            		 
            var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
            		 
            var button = Ti.UI.createButton({bottom: 50, title: "text selection"});
            		 
            button.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
            		 
            	text.setSelection(0, 4);
            		 
            });
            		 
             
            		 
            win.add(text);
            		 
            win.add(button);
            		 
            win.open();

            Testing steps:

            1. Run code
            2. Click on button, should see "This" is selected
            3. Comment out the first line, uncomment the 2nd line and re-run
            4. Click on button, should see same behavior.
