Research direction

Start at OTGUtil.kt:157, then trace the call from HybridFile.java:922 through Drawer.java:308 and MainActivity.java:428. Reproduce the reported UI action on Android 5.1 and determine why the USB OTG root is unset; done means the drawer refresh no longer crashes with this NullPointerException.
