Don't dismiss the autocomplete dropdown if user is still using it #182

If you're adding multiple stops at once, it's annoying to have to refocus it after every stop.

Instead, wait a second or so. If the user doesn't enter any more text, then you can defocus it. Otherwise, don't close it and let him add his additional stops in sequence.

This is mostly-implemented. I've been unable to prevent it from dismissing if the user simply tocuhes it, instead of typing or selecting something, because Android isn't exposing the methods I want.

However, I'm concerned that this 'feature' could interfere with other use cases.

Other thing: We actually can't keep it open- that feature is in API purgatory in Android. So we actually reopen the dropdown again.

It might be nice to see how many requests people actually have open at the same time. Maybe almost something we should have done initially.

Use case of this isn't worth confusing everyone else.

(even though it's mostly implemented by 716561)

Removing.
