Ankidroid Will Not Sync

https://preview.redd.it/n8yiz9ni1a1h1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8c8159f2b2498b5a252844bad3ff5d14f145bca

I uploaded changes from Anki desktop to AnkiWeb successfully. Now I am trying to sync AnkiWeb to AnkiDroid on my Samsung phone.

Problem:
When I press sync in AnkiDroid, it says “select collection to keep,” but the area where the options should appear is completely blank. Normally I would get options to choose either:

  • keep AnkiDroid collection
  • keep AnkiWeb collection

but now there are no selectable options at all.

Things I already tried:

  • uninstalled/reinstalled AnkiDroid multiple times
  • restarted phone
  • logged out/back into AnkiWeb
  • chose not to keep app data during uninstall
  • cleared cache/data
  • still getting the same blank sync screen
  • AnkiDroid does not pull from AnkiWeb after reinstall
  • “one-way sync” - Nothing changed
  • retsoring from earlier backups when there was no issue
  • importing the desired deck from Anki desktop app (.apkg)

Has anyone seen this blank “select collection to keep” screen before, and how can I safely force AnkiDroid to download from AnkiWeb instead of uploading from the phone?

Phone: Samsung Note 9 (2019): SM-N960U1
Android version: 10
AnkiDroid version: 2.24.0 (anki 25.09.2 / 3890e12c)
