Starting intent from snackbar in a diffrent class causing errors

Question

I have a snackbar utility class which is called when the internet is not working.

 public void noInternetSnackBar(Activity activity){
        Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Your internet is not working", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
        snackbar.setActionTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
        snackbar.setAction("Settings", v -> {
            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);
        });
        snackbar.show();
    }

the snackbar is displayed properly but on clicking the action the follwing error occurs

Answer 1

You need to check if data settings activity is present or not.

Try this

private static final String SETTINGS_PACKAGE = "com.android.settings";
private static final String SETTINGS_CLASS_DATA_USAGE_SETTINGS = "com.android.settings.Settings$DataUsageSummaryActivity";

try {
            final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
            final ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(SETTINGS_PACKAGE, SETTINGS_CLASS_DATA_USAGE_SETTINGS);
            intent.setComponent(cn);
            context.startActivity(intent);
        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
            Log.v(TAG, "Data settings usage Activity is not present");
        }
