Many times while the user is using an android application he has to edit a few settings in the device to use the applications such as providing any permissions from the settings application to use that specific feature within the application. For changing these settings we have to open a specific setting screen from our android application to modify those specific settings within the android application.
In this article, we will take a look at How to open specific settings screen in an android application using Jetpack Compose.
