How to programmatically open the Permission Screen for a specific app on Android Marshmallow

Question

I have a question regarding the new Android Marshmallow release   Is it achievable to display the Permission Screen for a specific app via an Intent or something similar     It s possible to display the app settings with the following code - is there an analog solution for directly opening the Permission Screen   startActivity new Intent android provider Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS  Uri fromParts  package   getPackageName    null       I already did some research on this but I wasn t able to find a proper solution - I would appreciate every help

it is not possible to pragmatically get the permission    but ill suggest you to put that line of code in try   catch   which make your app unfortunately stop    and in catch body make a dialog box which will navigate the user to small tutorial to enable the draw over other apps permission    then on yes button click put this code      Intent callSettingIntent  new Intent Settings ACTION MANAGE OVERLAY PERMISSION               startActivity callSettingIntent     this intent is to directly open the list of draw over other apps to manage permissions and then from here it is one click to the draw over other apps Permissions     i know this is Not the answer you re looking for    but Im doing this in my apps

Intent intent   new Intent Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS   intent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK   Uri uri   Uri fromParts  package   getPackageName    null   intent setData uri   startActivity intent     Description  Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS nbsp  nbsp  Opens Details setting page for App  From here user have to manually assign desired permission   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK nbsp  nbsp  Optional  If set then opens Settings Screen Activity  as new activity  Otherwise  it will be opened in currently running activity   Uri fromParts  package   getPackageName    null  nbsp  nbsp  Prepares or creates URI  whereas  getPackageName   - returns name of your application package   intent setData uri  nbsp  nbsp  Don t forget to set this  Otherwise  you will get android content ActivityNotFoundException  Because you have set your intent as Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS and android expects some name to search

Starting with Android 11  you can directly bring up the app-specific settings page for the location permission only using code like this  requestPermissions arrayOf Manifest permission ACCESS BACKGROUND LOCATION   PERMISSION REQUEST BACKGROUND LOCATION  However  the above will only work one time   If the user denies the permission or even accidentally dismisses the screen  the app can never trigger this to come up again  Other than the above  the answer remains the same as prior to Android 11 -- the best you can do is bring up the app-specific settings page and ask the user to drill down two levels manually to enable the proper permission  val intent   Intent Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS  val uri  Uri   Uri fromParts  quot package quot   packageName  null  intent data   uri    This will take the user to a page where they have to click twice to drill down to grant the permission startActivity intent    See my related question here  Android 11 users can   t grant background location permission

This is not possible  I tried to do so  too  I could figure out the package name and the activity which will be started  But in the end you will get a security exception because of a missing permission you can t declare   UPDATE   Regarding the other answer I also recommend to open the App settings screen  I do this with the following code       public static void startInstalledAppDetailsActivity final Activity context        if  context    null            return            final Intent i   new Intent        i setAction Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS       i addCategory Intent CATEGORY DEFAULT       i setData Uri parse  package     context getPackageName          i addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK       i addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NO HISTORY       i addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY EXCLUDE FROM RECENTS       context startActivity i       As I don t want to have this in my history stack I remove it using intent flags

According to the official Marshmallow permissions video  at the 4m 43s mark   you must open the application Settings page instead  from there it is one click to the Permissions page    To open the settings page  you would do  Intent intent   new Intent Settings ACTION APPLICATION DETAILS SETTINGS   Uri uri   Uri fromParts  package   getPackageName    null   intent setData uri   startActivity intent
