Requesting WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on Android R (SDK 30) *always* fails and so the sample app is always immediately closed. This permission has no effect on R+. See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE To save anything in external storage, this sample would have to be migrated to Scoped Storage.
The request code is an "*application specific* request code to match with a result reported to onRequestPermissionsResult". There's no point in using random numbers here.

The sample is currently broken for devices running Android R+, where requesting WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE always fails which subsequently closes the app because not all permissions are granted.
To save anything in external storage, the sample app would have to be migrated to Scoped Storage (what's in my opinion that's beyond the scope of a sample app).
