Native Android MotionEvent is private in AndroidMotionEvent #141

It would be good to be able to access native Android MotionEvent somehow. Android already provides a great gesture detection mechanism via GestureDetector class, but it needs native MotionEvent to work.

Another thing that current implementation is lacking is ability to copy motion events. It's difficult to make a custom GestureDetector implementation if you can't make a copy of AndroidMotionEvent. It's either need to be Cloneable, or have a construction ability with copying. Native Android MotionEvent implementation has that.

Ok, I've spent half a day and tried every workaround I could think of, like doing a custom map, doing a custom GestureHandler, checking events via custom EventsLayer that implements GestureListener, and there is no way I can have proper gesture detection that will allow me to make a different behavior depending on gestures. I need some stuff to be done in the end of all events except single click.
