How to open device dock settings programmatically?

Question

I have to open device dock setting through code. I searched but not got proper solution. In samsung galaxy s-3 it goes through settings->Accessory. I tried following code but didn't work ``` startActivityForResult(new Intent(Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), DOCK_SETTING)), 0); ```

Accepted Answer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the reason this doesn't work, (and why you weren't able to find the appropriate Activity Action in the Android Settings), is because Accessory appears to be provided by Samsung for its Galaxy devices. Therefore, you won't be able to find it in the standard Android SDK (yet?).

I'm currently trying to figure out a workaround, so I'll edit this post if I find a solution.

EDIT: Looks like JoxTraex found a way for you to edit the settings via:

```
Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), "dock_sounds_enabled", 1);
```

In addition, if you need to modify these settings when the user has docked their device, you should create a BroadcastReceiver to listen for the ACTION_DOCK_EVENT broadcast.
