[VLC for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc) (not to be confused with libVLC) has not supported external subtitles for at least [5 years](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/1903). I recommend trying other players like [mpv-android](https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android#downloads) and [MX Player](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad) first...
