Going to Phone Settings when a button is clicked

Question

How can I make my app lead to the Phone settings more specific - to the Language settings when a button is clicked ?

I have got the button in an xml and everything ready but I do not know what to write in MainActivity.java to make it lead to the Settings.

The solution is to add

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

to your button's function or OnClick event.

You can use this in your onClick event (it takes you directly to the Language & Input settings page your Android device:

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.Settings$InputMethodAndLanguageSettingsActivity");
    startActivity(intent);

Just a note: Valentin's answer below takes you directly to the device language selection screen whereas mine takes you to the Language and Input screen with all the options. – edant92 Sep 16 '16 at 21:09
