Launching mobile network settings screen programmatically

I want to launch mobile network settings screen, so that user can enable/disable 3g or data connection. Can anybody tell me which intent I need to use for starting activity. I used 

Intent in = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS )

and 

Intent in = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS  ).

but both of these didn't work.

You can use this for Android API 29, which shows a small UI for toggling Wifi/mobile-data :

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
    startActivity(Intent(android.provider.Settings.Panel.ACTION_INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY))
}

enter image description here

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Panel#ACTION_INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY

Focusing on Mobile-data settings:

startActivity(Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS))

Focusing on Wifi settings:

startActivity( Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS))

In my case (android 9) this intent lands directly on mobile data settings:

val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS)
context.startActivity(intent)

I'll try to answer, dispite of the fact this question was asked a few years ago. If what you're trying to do is to launch the "Data usage" screen. Try this snippet of code. It worked for me.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.settings",
                "com.android.settings.Settings$DataUsageSummaryActivity"));
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
        startActivity(intent);

There are two possibilities:

It brings up the overall network settings and from there the user can go to mobile networks

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

As Zharf suggested:

It brings up the Mobile network settings and from there the user can enable network

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClassName("com.android.phone","com.android.phone.NetworkSetting");
startActivity(intent);

They won't work because there was a bug that was fixed I think in 2.3.

See https://review.source.android.com/#/c/22229/

You can bypass this using (for NETWORK_OPERATOR_SETTINGS)

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClassName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.NetworkSetting");
startActivity(intent);

Replace NetworkSetting with Settings for DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS

there's another similar solution described in Error opening mobile network settings menu

UPDATE

I recently tested this and it seems that this workaround is still necessary up to API level 15. Since API level 16 the intents in the question seem to work correctly.
