The app wasn't found in the list of installed apps

I was trying to open the Notifications Settings screen on a button click in my app but I get an error toast message saying




The app wasn't found in the list of installed apps




I was following the Android training documents and double checked my package name but I'm not sure why I can't get it to work.



val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_CHANNEL_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS).apply {
putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_APP_PACKAGE, "com.xyz.abc")
putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_CHANNEL_ID, "com.xyz.abc.SomeUniqueString")
}
startActivity(intent)

          Get your package name programatically, no need to write packagename hardcoded. Get like this:



          String packageName=getApplicationContext().getPackageName()


          You can also check this app is installed or not:



           List<PackageInfo> apps = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0);
          for(PackageInfo packageInfo:apps){
          if(packageInfo.packageName.equals(packageName)){
          //app is installed. do whatever you want
          }
          }

          • I don't know why I was hardcoding it but yeah it worked when I used the function to get the package name.
