Spell Checker Settings

Question

In Android, I can launch the keyboard settings and input dialog using the ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_SETTINGS intent:

 getPresenter().startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_SETTINGS)); 

Question: How do I open the "Spell Checker" settings dialog box (available in Jelly Bean +) so that the user can enable my service?

Example: I can get language and input settings from it:

But I want to take the user directly to this screen:

Here you go:

 ComponentName componentToLaunch = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.Settings$SpellCheckersSettingsActivity"); Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); intent.setComponent(componentToLaunch); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); try { this.startActivity(intent); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { //TODO } 

You can find out the names of other Acts by running Activity and find the Intent used in Logcat. The output for me was:

 I/ActivityManager( 589): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.android.settings/.Settings$SpellCheckersSettingsActivity} from pid 13084 

Answer 2

Yes it is possible..:)

 Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.Settings$SpellCheckersSettingsActivity")); startActivityForResult(intent); 

We create an explicit intent, and we need to run the com.android.settings.Settings $ SpellCheckersSettingsActivity component. For Future Reference, you can use LogCat in eclipse to find any package or component that you are trying to run. Just view the ActivityManager's “Start Activity” messages and you will see the package name and component of any activity.
