Old versions have bugs in them. He's better off using the latest version which he can get from the playstore.
The OP is using the latest Android version, and since he has a problem, I advised him to try the version he was using when he first installed Electrum. It helped me when I had a similar problem, and the goal is of course to get access to the coins that are in the current wallet and then start using the latest available version.
I found the topic where I reported my problem and I think there are some answers there ->
