[BUG]: Restricting cleartext network traffic breaks import and statistics pages

Checked for duplicates?

• This issue is not a duplicate

Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

Restrict cleartext network traffic globally on your device (which blocks all non-TLS traffic). Open Ankidroid and try importing a deck from a local file or visit statistics page.

Expected behaviour

The import page (after choosing a local deck package file) and statistics page should be accessible

Actual behaviour

A blank page with "TypeError: failed to fetch" message is shown instead of import page and statistics page.
