There is no intent to go directly to permissions page.
However, there is an intent by which you can redirect your user to your Application's detailed settings page. ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS
Here is the code snippet:
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS); Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package",activity.getPackageName(), null); intent.setData(uri); context.startActivity(intent); I hope this helps!

the context it is undefined so it is the activity what do I need to write there for both of them ? I tried
getApplicationContext().startActivity but it is throwing me error.

This is creating runtime exception android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. so we need to set the flag for the intent
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);Is there a way to redirect a user to the settings of an application
Use ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS.
or better to the permissions of a specific application?
I do not think that there is a way to drive to that specific screen.

I'm getting a crash: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS }

@FeleMed: As the documentation states, "In some cases, a matching Activity may not exist, so ensure you safeguard against this." Beyond that, you need to put a
Uri on the Intent, one with a package scheme that points to your app. See stackoverflow.com/a/32983128/115145.FeleMed
ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS worked, thanks. On the second question, here: youtube.com/watch?v=f17qe9vZ8RM at around 27:30 the speaker said that if your permissions haven't been denied before you can intent directly to the app permissions, can't find the documentation though.

@FeleMed: I don't see anything undocumented in the current Settings app's manifest that fits the bill, but, then again, there are a million references to "permission" in there... :-)
