Features

  • Open settings screens. 87 blocks, one per screen. Drop a block straight into when Button1.Click.
  • Pick a screen from a list. The OpenSettings block has a dropdown with 61 screens.
  • Open hidden and engineering screens: developer options, Testing menu, Radio Info, usage statistics, Google Play services settings. These may not work on every firmware.
  • Open any screen yourself. OpenComponent takes a package and class, OpenCustomAction takes an Intent action, OpenSecretCode puts a secret code into the dialer.
  • Check and request permissions. CheckPermission tells you whether a permission is granted, RequestPermission asks for it.
  • Get the result. SettingsOpened fires when the screen opens, SettingsError fires when it is not available on the device.

Choose a permission in the list and the block returns its name, for example android.permission.CAMERA. Pass that name to CheckPermission or RequestPermission.

Summary

  • Blocks: 93 (87 in QuickSettings, 6 in PermissionTools).
  • Events: 4 (SettingsOpened, SettingsError, PermissionChecked, PermissionResult).
  • Dropdown lists: 5 (61 screens and 4 permission lists).
  • Required permissions: none, except REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS for the RequestIgnoreBatteryOptimization block.

Example

when Button1.Click do
    call QuickSettings1.OpenSettings  [Wifi ▾]

when Button2.Click do
    call QuickSettings1.OpenAppNotificationSettings

when QuickSettings1.SettingsError (name, error) do
    set Label1.Text to join("Could not open: ", name)

Notes

  • Hidden and engineering screens depend on the manufacturer and Android version. If a screen is missing, SettingsError fires and the app keeps running.
  • The extension does not bypass system protection: it only opens screens, and the user still has to change the settings.
