Emacs does not ask for any permissions by default.  You must enable
access to storage on Android 10 and earlier, and access to ``All files
and media'' on Android 11 and later.  This is described in the Android
appendix of the Emacs manual, which I suggest you read.

Why is that?
The on-screen keyboard should be displayed whenever necessary.

Thanks.
