How can I start android application info screen programmatically?

Is it possible to start the "application info" screen (that is, Menu → Settings &ra开发者_Go百科rr; Applications → Manage Applications → select any application) from another app?

In 2.2 and below, there is no public APIs you can access. But you can still start the InstalledAppDetails activity just as the ManageApplications does. see here

 // utility method used to start sub activity
 private void startApplicationDetailsActivity() {
     // Create intent to start new activity
     Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
     intent.setClass(this, InstalledAppDetails.class);
     intent.putExtra(APP_PKG_NAME, mCurrentPkgName);
     // start new activity to display extended information
     startActivityForResult(intent, INSTALLED_APP_DETAILS);
 }

Conclusion: you can start the "application info" screen like this i wrote:

private static final String SCHEME = "package";

private static final String APP_PKG_NAME_21 = "com.android.settings.ApplicationPkgName";

private static final String APP_PKG_NAME_22 = "pkg";

private static final String APP_DETAILS_PACKAGE_NAME = "com.android.settings";

private static final String APP_DETAILS_CLASS_NAME = "com.android.settings.InstalledAppDetails";

public static void showInstalledAppDetails(Context context, String packageName) {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    final int apiLevel = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if (apiLevel >= 9) { // above 2.3
        intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
        Uri uri = Uri.fromParts(SCHEME, packageName, null);
        intent.setData(uri);
    } else { // below 2.3
        final String appPkgName = (apiLevel == 8 ? APP_PKG_NAME_22
                : APP_PKG_NAME_21);
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setClassName(APP_DETAILS_PACKAGE_NAME,
                APP_DETAILS_CLASS_NAME);
        intent.putExtra(appPkgName, packageName);
    }
    context.startActivity(intent);
}

From API Level 9 (Android 2.3) you can start an Intent with android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS. Thus:

packageName = "your.package.name.here"

try {
    //Open the specific App Info page:
    Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
    startActivity(intent);

} catch ( ActivityNotFoundException e ) {
    //e.printStackTrace();

    //Open the generic Apps page:
    Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS);
    startActivity(intent);

}

I used Paolo solution in order to open the Application Details Settings in SDK 23+ when the user turned down the permission request in the past and choose the "Don't ask again" option in the permission request system dialog.

But in this case I used the getPackageName() method directly.

Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivity(intent);

Old question, improved answer:

/**
 * <p>Intent to show an applications details page in (Settings) com.android.settings</p>
 * 
 * @param context       The context associated to the application
 * @param packageName   The package name of the application
 * @return the intent to open the application info screen.
 */
public static Intent newAppDetailsIntent(Context context, String packageName) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
        return intent;
    } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        intent.setClassName("com.android.settings",
                "com.android.settings.InstalledAppDetails");
        intent.putExtra("pkg", packageName);
        return intent;
    }
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    intent.setClassName("com.android.settings",
            "com.android.settings.InstalledAppDetails");
    intent.putExtra("com.android.settings.ApplicationPkgName", packageName);
    return intent;
}

In Android 2.3, you can use startActivity() on an ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS Intent, with a proper Uri, to bring up your app's "manage" screen. However, this is new to Android 2.3 -- I am not aware of a way to do that in previous versions of Android.

startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_SETTINGS));

will bring you to the settings / application list. If you want to open one specific application, I think in 2.2 and below there's no way, so you'd need to go a (not necessarily suggested, because inofficial) way:

final Intent i = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");                
i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.InstalledAppDetails"));
i.putExtra(...); // need to figure out the correct extra, probably app package name
startActivity(i);

But note that this is not recommended because it's not an official API / intent (filter) and might therefore change in the future.
