Open Settings.app When Button is Tapped in UIAlertView on iPhone SDK

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Opening the Settings app from another app

Is there a way to direct the user to the Settings.app whenever I show a UIAlertView prompt? This prompt alerts the user that his location services is turned off and I want the user to open the Settings.app when he taps the button inside my UIAlertView.

UPDATE: I'm looking for a similar code stated here:

I think from `iOS 5.1`, we can't redirected to Default to ** some ** Settings. `iOS 5.0` or before you can do so.... So, I think your answer is NO. — Krunal, Jan 11 '13 at 09:45

iOS 8 and iOS 9

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];

~~There is no way to do this.~~

Because till now (11th Jan 2013) there is no url scheme available for settings app.

iOS 6

You can't do this on iOS 6.

iOS 5 and below (< iOS 5.1)

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=General"]];

Please refer this answer for more info Call the official *Settings* app from my app on iPhone

I think this facility was available with `iOS 5.0` and earlier, right? After that, it is of no use. – Krunal Jan 11 '13 at 09:48
