Fix some Android keyboards that didn't work properly.

This conversation came from Joshua Granick on Twitter, starting here: https://twitter.com/singmajesty/status/653640543675641857 "We found an issue where certain Android keyboards (like the S6 with predictive text) wouldn't work ... Certain keyboards use a predictive text mode that does not dispatch a traditional onKey events, which is troublesome ... but telling the OS to use a "visible password" keyboard helps deal with this problem ... perhaps there's some other way (onKeyPreIme?) to do "textediting" events, but for now, this should be a fast fix ... I hear it affects the Galaxy Tab A 8.0", Galaxy S6, Asus ZenPhone 2, maybe others"
