Android Studio: ActivityNotFoundException: Wi-Fi Settings

Question

I'm trying to open open the wifi setting programmatically in an andoird app. It works on most devices, but on an android tablet it crashes and gives me this error:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.settings/com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

Here is my code in the main activity:

Button wifisettings = (Button) findViewById(R.id.WiFiSettings);
    wifisettings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
            final ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings");
            intent.setComponent(cn);
            intent.setFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

If you want to call WiFiSettings from your app use this:

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS));

Look into this https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings for further sttings and how to take the user there

Try adding this in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
    android:name="com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings"/>

Same issue reported by other users in comments.

Update: If it didn't work, use this line which is simpler to use:

Button wifisettings = (Button) findViewById(R.id.WiFiSettings);
wifisettings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS));
        }
    });

I entered that in the manifest, but it doesn't resolve "settings.wifi.WifiSettings" – A P Oct 14 '18 at 18:29
If the issue persist, I prefer to use : `startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS));` instead of those few lines of codes. (Check the other user answer) – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Oct 14 '18 at 18:44
OK, which lines do I keep and which do I need to replace? I've never used that before – A P Oct 14 '18 at 18:49
Almost got it, however it can't resolve "Settings" in startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS)); – A P Oct 14 '18 at 18:54
You'll need to import it. The import will be : `import android.provider.Settings;` Android Studio will suggest to import it. Do a `clean-project` from `Build` if it does not suggest. – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Oct 14 '18 at 18:57
Could you solve the issue? Did it worked with the import? – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Oct 15 '18 at 08:07
