Android – Mobile Network Settings in Android 4.1

androidandroid-intentsettings

My app should open Mobile Network Settings activity. Everything works fine except devices with Android 4.1 which crash after attempt to open Settings

Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);
final ComponentName cName = new ComponentName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.Settings");
intent.setComponent(cName);
startActivity(intent);

Stack trace after crashing:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.settings.DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS cmp=com.android.phone/.Settings } from ProcessRecord{41b83198 ...

Any ideas? Could it be because of the manifest?

UPDATE:

Seem that the problem was solved here:
Android – Mobile network settings menu (Jelly Bean)

The thing is to change "com.android.phone.Settings" to "com.android.phone.MobileNetworkSettings"

I think you have to try

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setAction(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);

This thing is working for me in android 4.1.2, might be they fixed this issue in 4.1.2

Android – How to close/hide the Android soft keyboard programmatically

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your focused view.

// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down the menu).

Note: If you want to do this in Kotlin, use: context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager

Kotlin Syntax

// Only runs if there is a view that is currently focused
this.currentFocus?.let { view ->
    val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as? InputMethodManager
    imm?.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}

Android – How to stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup in Android

Excellent answers from Luc and Mark. However, a good code sample is missing. Adding the tags android:focusableInTouchMode="true" and android:focusable="true" to the parent layout (e.g. LinearLayout or ConstraintLayout) like in the following example, will fix the problem.

<!-- Dummy item to prevent AutoCompleteTextView from receiving focus -->
<LinearLayout
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:layout_width="0px" 
    android:layout_height="0px"/>

<!-- :nextFocusUp and :nextFocusLeft have been set to the id of this component
to prevent the dummy from receiving focus again -->
<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/autotext"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:nextFocusUp="@id/autotext" 
    android:nextFocusLeft="@id/autotext"/>
