[FIXED] Opening Android Settings programmatically

Issue

How can I open settings programmatically?

Solution

I used the code from the most upvoted answer:

startActivityForResult(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS), 0);

It opens the device settings in the same window, thus got the users of my android application (finnmglas/Launcher) for android stuck in there.

The answer for 2020 and beyond (in Kotlin):

startActivity(Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS))

It works in my app, should also be working in yours without any unwanted consequences.
