android 8.0 can not open hotspot about android-wifi-hotspot-manager-class

[myathinzar]

use following to open hotspot on 8.0,
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.TetherSettings"); intent.setComponent(cn); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity( intent);

The internal API that is used through reflection was deprecated and the new API seems to be rather difficult to access without root. There are some hints that it may be possible for Android 8.1:

This seems to be a good starting point code wise:
