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. Can someone help me and explain how to activate the airplane mode via code , this way I will drop the call based on some event. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Searching Google for "android sdk airplane mode" came up with this blog article:

http://dustinbreese.blogspot.com/2009/04/andoid-controlling-airplane-mode.html

// 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.

This code works fine for Android 2.2 platform, but unfortunately not for earlier platforms. If somebody succeed on 2.1, please respond how?

            android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 1);
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED); 
            intent.putExtra("state", 1); 
            context.sendBroadcast(new Intent("android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE")); 
            context.sendBroadcast(intent); 
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
                    }
                catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    }
            android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0);
            intent.putExtra("state", 0); 
            context.sendBroadcast(new Intent("android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE")); 
            context.sendBroadcast(intent);
