Is this a specific problem with Android? If not, probably the same as:

Thank you for the bug report! There are several open issues regarding the remote input function not working from a mobile device to a pc running Wayland.

I suspect that the cause for these is the same, namely that the permissions dialog is not shown. On Wayland, explicit permission is required to allow such security-relevant features to work.

If you still experience trouble using remote input in this setup, please try manually restarting kdeconnectd by running "kdeconnectd --replace" in a terminal, then use the remote input function again and see if you get a permissions popup now.

I'm marking all the open bugs regarding this as a duplicate of the newest one, as it has the clearest technical reasoning. If you think that you are affected by a different underlying issue, please comment on this bug again. Thanks!
