So I am trying to launch the "App Info" activity for a specific app. I believe this under Settings>Application Manager>Choose an app and its the details page which I want to launch.

I created an intent like so:

Send Intent:
Action: android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS
Cat: Default
Mime Type: <empty>
Data: package: com.asda.android
Extra: <empty>
Extra: <empty>
Package: <empty>
Class: <empty>
Target: Activity

When I launch this, the App Info activity flashes and exits instantly. All I see is the navigation bar at the top which says App Info, nothing else.

I looked at the Settings Manifest for this intent and it seems it only requires Data & Category. 

What am I doing wrong? I use android 4.1.2 and Settings app version is 4.1.2-I9300XXEMG4 (checked using Manifest Viewer).

Someone asked about opening app info before.  Try a search on this forum and maybe that thread will have some clues.

Solved! Having searched other post I noticed that for Data, there is no spaces between ":" andI the ppackage name. So by doing this it worked:

package:com.asda.android

Than you Matt
