ExaltedDice.java

in the methods onClick(), onLongClick(), and rollDice() i added the following:
	try {
		mCurrent = Integer.parseInt(dice.getText().toString());
	} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	
this finished the updated user input methods, based on the Android source code. the new input methods will only except numbers for entry. also the long press function 
now increments / decrements the amount of dice every 300 ms.

i incremented the version / build number 
from 1.0.0b12 to 1.0.1b13
