- In Android 5.0 and above, when several activities share the same activity name, you can specify the activity to restrict from its text title or content.
- Here is an example of how to restrict the security setting in the Settings application, but allow users to visit Wi-Fi/Bluetooth activities:
- com.android.settings.SubSettings: Security
- Where "SubSetting" is the activity name and "Security" is the activity text title.
