open device settings

Recently I used sample code for sending email, one thing I noticed is that when the user has not entered email in settings, nothing happens. So is there any way we can redirect the user to settings option in device?

@chinmay5,

I believe you are referring to a call like this:

native.showPopup("mail", options)         

If so, showPopup() returns a boolean value indicating whether it could (true) or could not (false) open the client dialog.

In the case of ‘false’ I would suggest something like this:

native.showAlert( "User Malfunction - Derp", "Hey buddy!  Your e-mail isn't configured.  Go fix it if you want this to work... Sheesh!", { "OK" } ) 

Of course I’d probably made the message a little nicer.  :smiley:

Thanks for your reply. I am already using this method but what I am wondering is how can we redirect the user to device settings of the device.

Hi guys. Wondering whether this is possible where device settings (on Android) can be opened ? I know it can be done using intents.

Thanks

How do you open the settings app on iOS? I’ve tried adding “prefs” to the urlscheme in build.settings and then system.openURL(“prefs:root=Settings”)

After research and reading forums, it looks like this worked at one time, is this an iOS9 issue? And if so, will there be support for this in the future?
