React native – App crashes during startActivity when using any system Intent as action after upgrading to SDK 34

I can no longer use startActivity using any Intent, even Settings.ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS, because it simply causes the app to crash.

I replaced my package name with "myPackageName" for posting here.

It worked before but after the upgrade to Android 14 and React Native 0.74.4, it is no longer working.

I already searched for days for the cause, but I am not seeing any issues causing this behaviour.

Intent i = new Intent();
        i.setPackage(reactContext.getPackageName());
        i.setAction(Settings.ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS);
Objects.requireNonNull(reactContext.getCurrentActivity()).startActivity(i);

    Hi please try removing the package name and try to check with below code :

    Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS); 
reactContext.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(i);

    No need to specify package name in system setting I think.

    Part 1 :

    I do not understand why SDK34 treats the system Intents with defined package name in a way that would make them crash though.

    This happens because if you explicitly define the package name of the intent to your application’s package then the intent can only be resolved by components within your application; this does not include the system settings activities.

    Part 2 :

    Here’s the correct way to create and start the intent to open the display settings:

    Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS);
Objects.requireNonNull(reactContext.getCurrentActivity()).startActivity(i);

    Part 3 :

    Safe implementation :

    Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS);
if (i.resolveActivity(reactContext.getPackageManager()) != null) {
    try {
        Objects.requireNonNull(reactContext.getCurrentActivity()).startActivity(i);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        // Handle the exception, e.g., show an error message to the user
        Log.e("IntentError", "Settings activity not found", e);
    }
} else {
    // Handle the case where the settings activity is not available
    Log.e("IntentError", "No activity found to handle the intent");
}
