Enable/Add cursor positioning when editing on Android app

[EdSforzati]

Current behavior

When trying to correctly place the cursor when editing it is extremely hard to tap correctly at all times. The cursor only relocates on tap, and tapping incorrectly just selects the whole word (not an issue)

Expected behavior

When tapping & holding and dragging on the screen, move cursor along with direction of drag for easier positioning.

Steps to reproduce

1. Write a big file/article
2. Try to change a specific word or letter in a word at a specific place
3. Try fixing the cursor location to another specific location in a word/sentence
