Android Question problem setWifiApEnabled in Android 23

[welu1805]

Hi all,

"Modify system settings" for an app is not available in android 23. (I can't find it).

But there is an error message in debug mode if I want to "setWifiApEnabled"

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: de.wedersoft.musicbook was not granted this permission: android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS.

Has anyone on idea?

Again here (already posted the answer in your other thread)

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32083410/cant-get-write-settings-permission

for the 2nd part of the opt-in you can use this code:

dim in as intent
in.initialize( "android.settings.action.MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS","package:"&application.packagename)
startactivity(in)

I tried this but it doesn't work, because in Android 23 "Modify system settings" for an app is not available.

I checked the intent on my Note 8 (Android 8). It does point to the systemsetting where the user need to enable my app for write the settings.

Did you read the stackoverflow article?

 

[welu1805]

Yes I read. With my Android 7 it works and the user can turn on write system settings. I don't have an Android 8 device. My problen NOW is that it doesn' t work with Android 6.

Now I know where to "Modify System Settings" manually under Marshmallow. That is different from Nougat.

In Nougat its easy: Settings, Apps, choose the app and directly Modify System Settings.

In Marshmallow: Settings, Apps and again Settings. Choose the app and a new window appears from where we can Modify System Settings.

The code from #2 works under Marshnellow too. I had a bug in my app.
