cordova-plugin-opensettings v1.3.0

Open Settings Cordova Plugin

The plugin allows you to open OS settings on iOS 8/9 and Android, via cordova-based app. For example, it will allow you to open the keyboard settings, Wifi, bluetooth etc (full list below).

Adding/Removing the Plugin

It will be saved to the config.xml file

cordova plugin (add|rm) cordova-plugin-opensettings --save

or via npm (It will be saved to the package.json file)

npm (install|rm) cordova-plugin-opensettings --save

Using the plugin (opens Location Settings in Android and Application Settings in iOS)

cordova.plugins.settings.open(setting_constant, success_callback, failure_callback);

Example for iOS and Android - open Wifi settings

if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.settings) {
  console.log('openSettingsTest is active');
  window.cordova.plugins.settings.open("wifi", 
    function() {
      console.log('opened settings');
    },
    function () {
      console.log('failed to open settings');
    }
  );
} else {
  console.log('openSettingsTest is not active!');
}

In Android, by default it is opened in the same application as a new activity, the hardware back button will bring the user back to the previous activity (the app). In order to open settings as a new application (two applications will appear in "recent/opened" apps list) the following code can be used: window.cordova.plugins.settings.open(["wifi", true], function() {}, function() {}); ....

Settings Options

You can use any constant from the following list:
