In case anyone finds this question and you want to open up settings for your specific application:

val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS)
intent.data = Uri.parse("package:" + context.packageName)
startActivity(intent)

Following the new api described on: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting

private val goToSettingsRequest = registerForActivityResult(
    ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()
) { activityResult ->
    // TODO: DEAL WITH THE CALLBACK
}

private fun goToSettings() {
    goToSettingsRequest.launch(Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS))
}

I used the code from the most upvoted answer:

startActivityForResult(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS), 0);

It opens the device settings in the same window, thus got the users of my android application (finnmglas/Launcher) for android stuck in there.

The answer for 2020 and beyond (in Kotlin):

startActivity(Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS))

It works in my app, should also be working in yours without any unwanted consequences.

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourActivity.this);
alertDialog.setTitle("Enable Location");
alertDialog.setMessage("GPS is not enabled. Do you want to go to settings menu?");
alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Settings", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);

This did it for me

Intent callGPSSettingIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivityForResult(callGPSSettingIntent);

When they press back it goes back to my app.

You can make another class for doing this kind of activities.

public class Go {

   public void Setting(Context context)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(intent);
    }
}

To achieve this just use an Intent using the constant ACTION_SETTINGS, specifically defined to show the System Settings:

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS));

startActivityForResult() is optional, only if you want to return some data when the settings activity is closed.

startActivityForResult(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS), 0);

here you can find a list of contants to show specific settings or details of an aplication.

You can open with 

startActivityForResult(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS), 0);

You can return by pressing back button on device.
