Show up the settings for text to speech in my app

I have implemented the TTS support for reading the Text Strings in my Application, and that works just fine. What I want to achieve is, that the user is able to Open the Preferences for TTS and can make changes according to his/her wish.

Here's my code

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.android.settings.TTS_SETTINGS");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
DetailActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

But my app crash when running that code. I'm using android 4.1.2 device.

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You may use this intent action to check TTS preference

private void checkTTSAvailability() {
    Intent checkTtsIntent = new Intent();
    checkTtsIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);
    startActivityForResult(checkTtsIntent, TTS_DATA_CHECK_CODE);
}

And handle the result on onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)

    if(requestCode == TTS_DATA_CHECK_CODE){
        // Success! File has already been installed
        if(resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS){
            mTts = new TextToSpeech(getActivity(), this);
        }else{
            // fail, attempt to install tts
            Intent installTts = new Intent();
            installTts.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
            startActivity(installTts);
        }
    }

or if you simply just want to open Settings just use this action

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.android.settings.TTS_SETTINGS");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
this.startActivity(intent);

About that crash its probably because of ICS (API >= 14), use the solution above for ICS and up.
