Google Play showed only a handful of pre-2.2 users, so I simply dropped support
for those versions because it became apparent it would require a large amount
of effort for me to fix this problem, and my development time is limited, and I
can't have an app up which crashes when you try to use it.
If you are a pre-2.2 user and an Android developer, well, I've listed the
problem git commit above. You could check out the commit immediately before
that, build it, and run that. What that commit does, is blank out the space bar
each time the keyboard pops up. Without it, if you had typed ".-" but not hit
space, then close the keyboard, then re-open it, you'll see the space bar shows
".-", but if you hit space or any other key it'll be as if the space bar were
blank. Which, in reality, it is.
Maybe the best compatibility solution is to detect the OS version, and if it's
pre-2.2, disable the functionality that clears the space bar each time you
close the Keyboard. Which is to say, since I can't make the keyboard stop
showing that ".-", make it so that the ".-" is still actually loaded in there.
Yeah, that's probably the least glitchy-looking way to resolve this.

1. It appears that I did not correctly change the Android versions this app can
be downloaded for. It still shows up for Market users with 1.6 or 2.1. Oops!
They'll download it, and then it'll start crashing inmediatamente. Oops!
2. But I've fixed it! In the end I couldn't figure out how to avoid the
exception, but I figured the functionality wasn't completely essential. So, I
just wrapped the call in a try/catch block, and ignore the exception if it
occurs.
So for look for a fix in the next release.
