How to set the AIRPLANE_MODE_ON to "True" or ON?

Question

I am planning to drop a call and I find this as one of workaround for that. How do I activate the airplane mode via code?

This way I will drop the call based on some event.

Answer 1

See the blog article Android: Controlling Airplane Mode ,

Works only upto API 16

// Toggle airplane mode.
Settings.System.putInt(
      context.getContentResolver(),
      Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);

// Post an intent to reload.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);

where isEnabled is whether airplane mode is enabled or not.

Please keep in mind that this is no longer possible starting from Android 4.2 and above.
