Android Question Intent 'android.settings' in different versions of Android

[henry1311]

Hello to all.

The following code:

Dim xAction As Intent
Dim s1 As String
s1 = "android.settings.WIRELESS_SETTINGS"
xAction.Initialize (s1, "")
StartActivity (xAction)

in Android 2.x directly displays only the configuration of the network, while in vers. 3.x and 4.0 and 4.1 displays all options 'settings'.

Likewise, the code

Dim xAction As Intent
Dim s1 As String
s1 = "android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS"
xAction.Initialize (s1, "")
StartActivity (xAction)

in Android 2.x directly displays only the configuration of the wifi while in vers. 3.x and 4.0 and 4.1 displays all options 'settings'.

Is there a way to view only one part even in versions 3 and 4? (Eg: wireless, network, bluetooth, audio, display, etc.).

Hello and thank you
Enrico

Seems like it is not possible to show these screens directly.

 

[henry1311]

It seems so!

Thanks Erel

You could start the corresponding activities directly, this works on any version of Android:

Display WiFi settings screen:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize("", "")

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings")

StartActivity(i)

Display Bluetooth settings screen:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize("", "")

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothSettings")

StartActivity(i)

Show Display settings screen:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize("", "")

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.DisplaySettings")

StartActivity(i)

Time settings

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize("", "")

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.Settings$DateTimeSettingsActivity")

StartActivity(i)

etc. etc.

thanks for the reply NjDude.
But as you say you always show all the options in 'Settings'.
That set from i.Setcomponent is selected, but I'm not supposed to see and change the other!
Thank you all.

Any ideas on how to display the Date/Time Settings activity?
The intent format Settings$DateTimeSettingsActivity doesn't seem to work.

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("", "")                
i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/Settings$DateTimeSettingsActivity")
StartActivity(i)

 

[Erel]

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("android.settings.DATE_SETTINGS", "")
StartActivity(i)

 

[Ian Garton]

Many thanks Erel, I didn't expect it to be in a different format to the other settings activities.

Hi Erel,

How can I activate Ethernet settings?

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.ethernet.EthernetSettings") ' is not working!

Hi Erel,

This is a community forum. Don't limit your questions to a single member. Sorry but I don't know.

hi,

From where do you guys know that all? I've been searching for hours and didn't find the intent for the security settings. where to find the b4a compatible intents?

Best regards

Edit: I made it work
(i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/com.android.settings.SecuritySettings"))

but i am still unsure about why it works like this.... can someone explain it please?

 

[NJDude]

Here:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize("", "")

i.SetComponent("com.android.settings/.SecuritySettings")

StartActivity(i)

 

[chrjak]

Hey NJ,
Thanks for the answer. I had it already

But for future questions i'd like to know where to find that things. From where do you know that?

Best regards

 

[NJDude]

One way of doing it is by looking at the unfiltered logs, you will see the intents there.

 

[chrjak]

so you can open the app or whatever and then you see the intent in the logcat? wow. thats easier than i thought....

or what do you mean with unfiltered? Is there something to change in b4a logcat?

 

[Erel]

I don't think that there is any other related intent available.

Hi all,
Good day,

How can i intent directly to the flight mode setting?
Where I can enable and disable the mode manually.

Thanks in advance..

 

[jai76]

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("android.settings.AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS", "")
StartActivity(i)

solved, I figure it out..
