I am trying to write values using putInt. The settings I am trying to write into are -
"android.settings.CAMERA_COVER_STATUS"
"android.settings.MIC_SWITCH_STATUS"
I am not sure if the above-mentioned settings are proper or not. But when I try to write values on them I get the following errors -
2021-09-25 22:48:04.371 WARNING logcat: System.err(4223): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You cannot keep your settings in the secure settings.

Any kind of suggestion and help will greatly appreciated.
Fixed. Had to use the System Settings prefix to solve the issue. Added prefix "settings://system/" before the settings key. Now the keys become as following -
"settings://system/android.settings.CAMERA_COVER_STATUS"
"settings://system/android.settings.MIC_SWITCH_STATUS"
Also tested the values using the following code -
cameraStatus = Settings.System.getInt(this.getContentResolver(),"android.settings.CAMERA_COVER_STATUS",1);
micStatus =Settings.System.getInt(this.getContentResolver(),"android.settings.MIC_SWITCH_STATUS", 1);
They seems to be working fine.
Note: Added the answer myself so that if anyone faces similar issue, it might help.
