cordova-plugin-app-settings

Simple Cordova plugin to open the app settings and, on Android, also open the notification settings directly. Designed for developers who need a lightweight solution, with room for future expansion.

Installation

Install from a local path

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Run the following command inside your Cordova project:

cordova plugin add <plugin-path>

Example:

cordova plugin add ../../cordova-plugin-app-settings

Install from npm

1. Run the following command inside your Cordova project:

cordova plugin add @elgg/cordova-plugin-app-settings

Usage

Once running in a Cordova environment, the plugin is available via the global AppSettings object.

Currently, the plugin provides two methods:

open (Android & iOS)

Opens the application settings.

Example:

AppSettings.open(
    () => console.log("Settings opened."),
    (err) => console.error("Error opening settings: ", err)
);

openNotifications (Android only)

Opens the app's notification settings directly.

Example:

AppSettings.openNotifications(
    () => console.log("Notification settings opened."),
    (err) => console.error("Error opening notification settings:", err)
);

Notes:

• Android 8 and above: Opens the app’s notification settings.
• Android 5 to 7: Opens the app’s notification settings using a non-official workaround.
• Android < 5: Open app settings like the open method.
