Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes an issue where Editor and Entry controls on Android don't update their placeholder and text colors when the system theme changes between light and dark modes. The fix implements theme-aware color fallbacks and ensures proper event handling for theme changes.
Key changes:
- Enhanced EditText extension methods to fall back to system theme colors when no explicit color is set
- Added theme change event handling in InputView to trigger property updates
- Fixed event timing in Application class for proper theme change propagation

Could be also interesting to modify the test to set the system theme.
