Hi,
I have a notification settings function that i would like to build. Is it able that when the user clicks on a button, it will open up the application permission and the user would be able to off the notification?
This development is only for android applications only.

Or is there anyway then when a user presses a button, it will open the settings application of the device?

Well, you can open the settings through
code, but how you would do it in Lc isn't something I know, nor am I sure it is even possible, as I don't see it in the Lessons
here, or
here.
Of course, that doesn't mean it is not possible. Hopefully someone that knows for sure will chime in

Does the Settings app have a URL scheme? If so I would imagine "launch URL <URL>" would work.

I haven't looked into it, but the OS docs should provide it if available. If not, I'll bet there's a lower level API available, and that could be accessed via LiveCode Builder.
