Answer 1

From Android 2.0, Activity contains the method

public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)

For exemple, a long key press on the back button would be :

@override
public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) 
    {
        // do your stuff here
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyLongPress(keyCode, event);
}

Now to open the setting tab you can do following code inside and activity...

Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
activityContext.startActivity(intent);
