Comment (by antoniou79):

 It's possible that this is an Android specific bug (...), but the
 description does match with the behavior of slow loading games with
 multiple files when they're accesses via SAF.

 - Did you put this game's data file in external storage folder (like on an
 external SD Card or custom folder on your device's storage space), set up
 and accessed via the SAF method?
 - How long did you wait on this black screen? Depending on the number of
 files / folders in the game's data loading a game via SAF can take a
 while, sometimes even more than 3 minutes.

 If it's indeed a (very) slow loading issue, then you could try uploading
 the game files to ScummVM's external directory -- a shortcut for that
 directory is provided in ScummVM's file explorer at the topmost level, as
 "ScummVM data (External)". Folders added to that space will be accessed
 without the need for SAF.

 But it can be tricky to put files in there. I think the most reliable way
 to do this would be to use ScummVM's LAN feature, Run the server, and set
 the root folder to be this directory "ScummVM data (External)" (and press
 Apply), and then connect from a remote PC (or other device) browser, click
 into "File system root" and upload the game's data folder in there. Then
 add this folder to ScummVM to launch the game.

 However, note, that files put in an app's "external storage" will be
 deleted if/when the app gets uninstalled.
