Launching mobile network settings screen programmatically

Question

I want to launch mobile network settings screen, so that user can enable/disable 3g or data connection. Can anybody tell me which intent I need to use for starting activity. I used

Intent in = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS )  

and

Intent in = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS  ).  

but both of these didn't work.

Answer 1

They won't work because there was a bug that was fixed I think in 2.3.

See https://review.source.android.com/#/c/22229/

You can bypass this using (for NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS)

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setClassName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.NetworkSetting"); startActivity(intent); 

Replace NetworkSetting with Settings for DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS

there's another similar solution described in Error opening mobile network settings menu

UPDATE

I recently tested this and it seems that this workaround is still necessary up to API level 15. Since API level 16 the intents in the question seem to work correctly.

public class SettingsScreen {  protected static void _showSettingScreen(String intentStr) {     try     {         Intent intent = new Intent(intentStr);         intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);         Reference.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);     }     catch (Exception e) {Reference.showToast(e.toString(), true);} }  public static void showSettingScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.SETTINGS"); }  public static void showAPNScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.APN_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showLocationScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showSecurityScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.SECURITY_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showWifiScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showBluetoothScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showDateScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.DATE_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showSoundScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.SOUND_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showDisplayScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.DISPLAY_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showApplicationScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.APPLICATION_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showNetworkSettingScreen() {     showDataRoamingScreen(); }  public static void showNetworkOperatorScreen() {     if(Reference.getSystemOptions().VERSION_SDK_INT > 15)     {         _showSettingScreen("android.settings.NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS");     }     else     {         Intent intent=new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS);         intent.setClassName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.NetworkSetting");         intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);         Reference.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);     } }  public static void showDataRoamingScreen() {     if(Reference.getSystemOptions().VERSION_SDK_INT > 15)     {         _showSettingScreen("android.settings.DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS");     }     else     {         Intent intent=new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);         ComponentName cName = new ComponentName("com.android.phone","com.android.phone.Settings");         intent.setComponent(cName);         intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);         Reference.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);     } }  public static void showDataMobileScreen() {     if(Reference.getSystemOptions().VERSION_SDK_INT > 15)     {         Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_WIRELESS_SETTINGS);//android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS //Intent.ACTION_MAIN         intent.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.Settings$DataUsageSummaryActivity");         intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);         Reference.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);     }     else     {         showDataRoamingScreen();     } }  public static void showNotificationScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showBatterySaverScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.BATTERY_SAVER_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showNfcScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.NFC_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showInternalStorageScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.INTERNAL_STORAGE_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showDictionarySettingScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.USER_DICTIONARY_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showManageApplicationsScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showManageAllApplicationsScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.MANAGE_ALL_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showMemoryCardScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.MEMORY_CARD_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showAirPlaneScreen() {     if(Reference.getSystemOptions().VERSION_SDK_INT > 16)     {         if(Reference.getSystemOptions().BRAND.equalsIgnoreCase("Lenovo"))         {             showSettingScreen();         }         else         {             _showSettingScreen("android.settings.WIRELESS_SETTINGS");         }     }     else     {         _showSettingScreen("android.settings.AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS");     } }  public static void showWirelessScreen() {     _showSettingScreen("android.settings.WIRELESS_SETTINGS"); }  public static void showWifiScreenSafe() {     try     {         Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);         intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);         ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings");         intent.setComponent(cn);         intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);         Reference.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);     }     catch (Exception e)         {} } }
