            onNeverAskAgain = ::onInternetNeverAskAgain,
            requiresPermission = ::downloadModel
        )
    }

    private fun onInternetDenied() {
        Toast.makeText(context, R.string.permission_internet_denied, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }

    private fun onInternetNeverAskAgain() {
        Toast.makeText(
            context,
            R.string.permission_internet_never_ask_again,
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
        ).show()

        mainActivity.showRationaleDialog(R.string.permission_internet_rationale, request)
    }
}

Run the app and navigate to MainFragment

You shouldn't ask for INTERNET permission at runtime doc: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview#types

Normal permissions do not directly risk the user's privacy. If your app lists a normal permission in its manifest, the system grants the permission automatically.
