Android Programmatically open Settings-> Security tab on Button Click

Question

How can I open Android > Settings > Security tab from within my app?

In my app, I have one simple button and I want to open the Security tab setting on button click listener event.

I have tried to open android settings, but how do I open specifically the security one?

I am not just asking about setting. i am asking about settings->Security. — Anny, Apr 02 '15 at 05:00

Try this instead:

        Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS);

        startActivity(intent);

You can try this:

 startActivityForResult(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS), 0);

When the user hits the back button, your app will open again.
