No, you don't need to. The only thing I've done is to override it for
Vector3D input fields, so the next button is catched and handled
properly. If you don't override it, it will go Android's natural way
of browsing "down".

The DirectoryCrawler for the sdcard is still here, and as Orekit seems
to manage data sources in a FIFO order, it should search the sdcard
before searching the embedded dataset (but I've not tested it).

Thanks!
