Some things Emacs for Android needs:

1. Access to SAF content providers. This is the intended way to mount cloud storages in Android and it even supports offline access, so it would finally give us a decent and trivial way to sync org files without fiddling with rclone/foldersync/etc...

2. Server mode: making Emacs run in the background seamlessly would make it a really handy swiss knife. Also, this should be necessary in order to use stuff like org-protocol

3. Interaction with other apps: make it callable from Tasker or stuff like that. I'd like to use the "share with" menu to capture quick notes and bookmarks
