When apps need to ask users to grant permissions through the settings app, it can be difficult for some users to figure out how to do it.

I came across this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns

See this video showing it: https://youtu.be/eHXBc5Mmsqs

Somehow that app is able to highlight menu items within the settings app to guide the user through the process of granting permissions/adjusting settings, and it does so without asking for the accessibility service or any other permission first.

How can this be accomplished?

Any luck finding a solution? – Royz Jul 19 '20 at 10:15
@Royz it takes advantage of bundle values within an intent and standard behavior for shared preference settings I believe. – CamHart Jul 28 '20 at 08:27
Thanks for your reply. Do you have any suggestions where can i find documentation or examples for that? A keyword would also be enough – Royz Jul 28 '20 at 09:42
I dug through android source code. Keywords are intent bundle shared preference. – CamHart Jul 31 '20 at 08:23
