App crashes when accessing "Recent Files" without storage permission

[yxXXxy999]

Describe the bug
When opening the "Recent Files" page of Amaze File Manager without the required storage permissions, the app crashes. This occurs when using any method to open the section, such as long-pressing the desktop icon or starting the activity directly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ensure that the app does not have storage permissions.
2. Return to the home screen and long-press the app icon to open the menu.
3. Click on the "Recent Files" option.
4. The app will launch and then crash, showing an error report.

Expected behavior
The app should either request the necessary permissions or show a proper error message explaining the need for storage access, rather than crashing.
